Surface burners and cooktop
The range and burner box areas are specially designed to make cleaning easier. Because the four burners are sealed, cleanups are easy and convenient.
To clean the cooktop, wipe with a damp sponge and dry.
Product Damage Hazard
Do not remove the cooktop.
Doing so could result in product damage.
Cleaning the contoured well areas
The contoured well is a recessed area located around each burner. If spills occur in the con- toured well section, blot up spill with a paper towel. Wipe with a clean, damp sponge and dry. When cleaning the cooktop area or around the burner base, use care to prevent damage to the ignitor. If a cleaning utensil should catch the ignitor, it could damage or break the ignitor. If the ignitor is damaged or broken, the surface burner will not light. When cleaning the cooktop, leave the burner cap in place to protect the ignitor from
possible damage.
