CARE AND CLEANING

Aluminum Foil and Utensils

Cleaning the sealed burners

To avoid possible burns, do not attempt cleaning before 
turning off all surface burners and allowing them to cool.

Any additions, changes, or conversions required in order for 
this appliance to satisfactorily meet the application needs 
must be made by an authorized qualified Agency. Routinely 
clean the cooktop. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and wipe 
dry to avoid scratches. Keeping the surface burner head 
ports and slots clean will prevent improper ignition and an 
uneven flame.

To clean recessed and contoured areas of cooktop:

•

If a spill occurs on or in the recessed or contoured 
areas, blot up spill with an absorbent cloth. 

•

Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.

To clean burner heads:

1.

Remove the burner cap from the burner head (see 

Figure 18

). Clean the cap with hot soapy water and dry 

thoroughly.

2.

For burned-on and dried spills, apply hot soapy water to 
the burner head. Allow time for the soils to soften.

3.

Use a toothbrush to clean all over the burner head (see 

Figure 19

).

4.

Use the toothbrush to clean the slots and holes in the 
burner (see 

Figure 19

).

5.

Use a needle or fine wire to clean out the ignition port 
(see 

Figure 19

).

•

Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven 
bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials 
such as aluminum foil. Aluminum foil linings may trap 
heat, causing a fire hazard.

•

Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil to line 
the oven bottom. Improper installation of these liners 
may result in risk of electric shock or fire.

•

Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop 
can damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum 
cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the 
surface elements under any circumstances.

•

Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is 
much lower than that of other metals. Care must be 
taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the 
cooktop. If aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry 
when using the cooktop, not only will the utensil be 
damaged or destroyed, but it may fuse to, break, or 
mark the ceramic glass surface, permanently 
damaging the cooktop surface.

•

To avoid possible burns do not attempt to operate the 
surface burners without the burner caps.

•

Do not use spray oven cleaner on the cooktop.
