Care & Cleaning
To Clean the Recessed and Contoured Areas of the 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 Remove and Replace the Surface Burner Caps and Surface Burner
Heads - Remove in the following order: (1st) surface burner grate, (2nd) surface
burner cap, (3rd) surface burner head and (4th) surface burner drip pan (if
equipped).
Reverse the procedure above to replace the surface burner cap, surface burner
head and surface burner drip pans (if equipped). Do not remove any parts from
the cooktop until they have completely cooled and are safe to handle. Do
not operate the surface burners without the surface burner cap and surface
burner head properly in place.
To Clean the Surface Burner Cap, Surface Burner Head and Surface Burner
Drip Pan (if equipped) - Use a soap-filled scouring pad or a mild abrasive
cleanser to clean the surface burner caps, surface burner heads and surface
burner drip pans (if equipped). The ports (or slots) around the burner head must
be routinely cleaned. If residue still remains in these ports, use a small-gauge wire
or needle to clean the slots or holes. For proper flow of gas and ignition of the
burner—DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD, CLEANING AGENTS OR ANY
OTHER MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS ORIFICE HOLDER OPENING.
ALWAYS keep the surface burner cap and surface burner head in place whenever
a surface burner is in use.
Use caution when replacing the burner cap so the electrode is not damaged. This may cause a delayed ignition
or prevent the burner from igniting.
Any additions, changes or conversions required in order for this appliance to satisfactorily meet the application
needs must be made by an authorized Frigidaire Distributor or Qualified Agency.
THE COOKTOP IS NOT REMOVABLE. Do not attempt to remove or lift the cooktop.
Cleaning the Cooktop
The cooktop is designed to make cleaning easier. Because the four burners are sealed, cleanups are easy when spillovers
are cleaned up immediately.
To clean, wipe with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.
Cleaning the Contoured Well Areas, Burner Caps, Burner Heads and Burner Drip Pans
The contoured well areas, burner caps, burner heads and burner drip pans (some models) should be routinely cleaned. Keeping
the burner ports clean will prevent improper ignition and an uneven flame. Refer to the following section for instructions.
Some models are equipped with stainless steel exterior parts. Special care and cleaning are required for maintaining the
appearance of stainless parts. Please refer to the Cleaning Chart provided at the beginning of the Care & Cleaning section
in this Use & Care Manual.
