CARE AND CLEANING:
Cooktop Surfaces - Gas
Cooktop Surfaces - Gas
Normal, Daily Use Cleaning
Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleansers, strong
liquid cleansers, steel wool, plastic scouring pads, or
cleaning powders on the interior or exterior of the oven.
Clean with a mild soap and water or a 50/50 solution of
vinegar and water. Rinse with clean water and dry with a
soft cloth. When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they
are at room temperature.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and
basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration
and should be wiped up as soon as hot surfaces cool,
then clean and rinse.
Removal of Surface Burners for Cleaning
Turn all controls OFF. Allow cooktop to cool before
removing grates and burner parts. When removing
the burner caps and heads, remember their size and
location. Replace them in the same location after
cleaning.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to remove oval burner
caps from burner heads.
Cleaning the Burner Heads
Wash the burner heads routinely, especially after bad
spillovers, which could clog the burner openings. Lift
burners off when cool. Wash with hot, soapy water. Rinse
with clean water. For more stubborn stains, use a brush
with plastic bristles.
NOTE:
Do not use steel wool or scouring pads to clean
the burner parts as these may clog the openings. Never
wash burner heads in your dishwasher. Doing so may
cause them to discolor. The ports in the burner heads
must be kept clean at all times for an even, unhampered
flame.
For proper ignition, make sure the small hole in the notch
that fits over the electrode is kept open. A sewing needle
or wire twist-tie works well to unclog it.
