URNER CLEANING
Ring Grates and Top Grates
TIP: Clean spills as soon as possible to prevent sticking and build up.
When burner is cool, remove the ring grate, top grate and center filler grate (30” models only).
Wash in hot, soapy water. Rinse well and dry thoroughly to prevent rusting.
Handle gently to prevent nicks/chips, which can lead to rusting
TIP: If you have a nick or chip you can season the area to prevent rusting. Nicks or chips are not covered under warranty.
Put corn oil or other high smoke point oil on a paper towel and rub onto rusted area.
Wipe away excess oil and replace the part on the range.
Do not submerge the burner grates in water for extended periods of time. Prolonged exposure to moisture may cause
rusting.
For heavy soiling, use a commercially available oven cleaner. Follow the cleaner manufacturer’s instructions.
Make sure the cleaning chemicals do not contact any stainless steel or painted surface on your appliance.
Reinstall grates in cooktop and make sure they are seated properly, and do not move unsteadily from side to side.
Burner Heads
Burner head locations are specific to the valves on the front of the unit. If burner heads are removed for cleaning or
other purposes, they must be re-installed in the same location they were removed from. Failure to do so may result
in a burner that will not light or possibly have a high flame.
TIP: Clean spills as soon as possible to prevent sticking and build-up, and to keep the burner ports clear.
For fresh spills, make sure burner is cool and clean with a cloth and hot water.
If needed, the burner head can be removed for cleaning:
When cool, remove the ring grate and top grate.
Lift the burner head up and slide the burner head unit including the venturi tube up and slightly toward the back of the rangetop so
it clears the metal bar.
Disconnect the orange igniter wire from its connector.
Gently clean the exterior of the burner head with warm, soapy water. DO NOT submerge the burner head in water. Rinse well
and dry thoroughly.
If the burner ports are clogged, use a push pin, safety pin or other metallic device to carefully clear the hole. Do NOT use a
toothpick or any object that could become stuck in the hole.
Replace the burner head by sliding the burner head unit underneath the metal bar; be sure the air shutter of the venturi tube slides
over and is centered on the gas valve jet.
Reconnect the orange igniter wire to the connector.
Set the burner head in place.
Replace the top grate and ring grate.
If the igniter wire is wet, you will hear clicking and the burner will not ignite. Turn the burner off, wait and try again
later. It will light after drying.
Burner might ignite but clicking may continue until igniter dries.
