CARING FOR YOUR RANGE

Surface burners

To remove burners:

1.Lift up the cooktop, following instructions on the previous page.

2.Before cleaning, remove and throw away screws that hold each of the burners in place. The screws prevent the burners from moving during shipment. Remove the shipping screws.

3.Grasp burner head and tilt it to the right to release the two tabs from slots in the burner support.

4.Lift the end of the burner assembly, then pull away from the front of the range to free the air shutter from the gas valve orifice.

To clean burners:

1.Wipe off surface burners with warm, soapy water and a sponge after each use. To remove cooked-on food, soak the burners in a vinegar and water solution for 20 to 30 minutes. Scrub with a plastic scrubbing pad.

2.If ports are clogged, clean with a straight pin. DO NOT enlarge or distort the ports. DO NOT use a toothpick to clean the ports.

3.Before putting the burners back, dry them thoroughly by setting them in a warm oven for 30 minutes.

To replace burners:

1.Slip the air shutter over the gas valve orifice.

2.Lower the burner assembly and hook the tabs in the slots in the burner support.
