Whirlpool SF335EEPW0 Surface Burners, Discoloration will Also Occur to the Surface Burner When

SURFACE BURNERS

Shipping screws are used to secure each surface burner

to the range during transportation. Once range is in- stalled, the screws should be removed.

To remove burner: 1) Remove or support cooktop with metal rod. 2) Grasp burner head and tilt to release tab from slot near pilot. 3) Lift burner up and toward rear of range until burner is released.

To replace burner: 1) Insert the air shutter end of the burner over the hood and lower burner into place. 2) In- sert tab on burner into slot in burner support located in burner box. If burner is not replaced correctly, cooking results will be affected, burner will not operate properly and a safety hazard could occur. 3) Replace cooktop.

Screws are for shipping only.

Remove before using burner.

A

A natural dulling of the surface burner’s aluminum finish should be expected. This is a permanent dulling and will occur over a period of time and with continued usage. Cleaning practices may improve the appearance but will not completely restore the finish to its original luster.

DISCOLORATION WILL ALSO OCCUR TO THE SURFACE BURNER WHEN:

1.The burner is turned on without a pan In place to absorb heat. This is especially critical when the flame is adjusted to the MEDIUM flame setting.

2.Incorrect cleaning agents are used. Some cleaning agents can scratch or dull the aluminum finish of the burner head.

3.Cleaned in the dishwasher. Dishwasher detergents are harsh and caustic and will permanently dull the aluminum finish.

4.Boilovers occur when the flame is adjusted to a HIGH flame setting.

5.Cleaning is infrequent or soil is allowed to burn on before cleaning.

To clean surface burners: Clean burners in warm soapy water after each use or as they become soiled. Remove stubborn soil by scouring with a nonabrasive plastic scouring pad such as Tuffy@ and a paste of baking soda and water.

Clean ports with a straight pin. Do not use a wooden toothpick or other objects that might enlargen or break off and clog a port. Both burner ignition and cooking results will be affected if a port is enlargened or clogged.

The following cleaning agents ARE NOT RECOM- MENDED FOR CLEANING SURFACE BURNERS for

they will permanently damage the finish: Caustic cleaners such as oven cleaners, steel wool, abrasive cleaning or scouring agents, dishwasher detergent or metal polishes.

After cleaning, burners can be dried in the oven set at 140°F. (SO’C.). CAUTION: BURNERS AND BURNER TUBES MUST BE DRY BEFORE USE.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

1.Always keep appliance area clear and free from com- bustible materials, gasoline and other flammable va- pors and liquids.

2.Do not obstruct or restrict the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

3.The visual check and adjustment of pilot flames made per the printed installation instruction sheets should be repeated whenever service has been interrupted or upon relighting pilots. Normally the pilot flame and surface and oven burner flames should not require adjustment beyond those made at installation. It is good preventive maintenance, however, to occasion- ally check pilot’s flame size and burner flame patterns. Should you detect significant variation, service may be needed. (See inside back cover for specific checks you can make.)

4.Cleaning procedures for various appliance parts are given along with the description and use instructions for those parts in this book (see particularly pages 6, 7 above, 8, 15, 16, the general cleaning chart on page 17, and page 18.) The frequency of cleaning will vary depending on use.

5.Lubrication of moving parts should not normally be requiredwiththeoneexceptionoftheovendoorhinges

which may occasionally require a tiny drop of house- hold oil at the pivot point. Lubricate these pointsspar- ingly only when and if the normal sounds of opening or closing of door changes significantly.

6.Replacement parts may be obtained through your local dealer (see inside back cover.)
