CARE AND CLEANING
Cleaning the 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 heads
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 and burner head (see
). Clean the cap and head with hot soapy
water and dry thoroughly.
2.
For burned-on and dried spills, apply hot soapy water to
the burner cap and head to allow time for the soils to
soften.
3.
Use a toothbrush to clean all over the burner head.
4.
Wipe the burner cap and head clean with a soft, clean
cloth, sponge, or scratch-free cleaning pad. Wipe out
burner orifice with a cloth before placing burner head
and cap back on. The burner assembly must be
completely dry before use.
5.
Make sure the burner caps and heads are placed and
seated properly over the ignitor. The three mounting
legs on burner will align with slots on the orifice holder.
When placed correctly, the burner cap should not move
off the burner head (see
on
6.
If burner fails to light, recheck placement of burner head
to the orifice holder and cap.
Important notes:
•
Always keep the surface burner caps in place whenever
a surface burner is in use.
•
When replacing the burner caps, be sure the burner
caps are seated firmly on top of the burner heads.
•
For proper flow of gas and ignition of burners do not
allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or any other material
to enter the gas orifice port opening.
•
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.
