Top Burners
The holes in the burners must be kept clean at
times
for proper ignition and an even, unhampered flame.
You should clean the burners routinely, especially
after bad spillovers which could clog these holes.
Burners lift out for cleaning if the shipping screws
were removed at installation.

them from wobbling around during shipment. Remove
and discard the shipping screws. Be careful not to
remove the screws from the igniter bracket.
To remove the burners:
1. Grasp the burner head and tilt it to the right to
release the two tabs from slots in the burner support.
2. Lift the end of the burner assembly, then pull away
from the front of the range to free the air shutter
from the gas valve orifice.
To remove burned-on food, soak the burners in a
solution of mild liquid detergent and water. Soak the
burners for 20 to 30 minutes. If the food doesn’t rinse
off completely, scrub them with soap and water and a
or plastic pad. Do not use steel wool or abrasive
because they will clog the burner openings
and scratch the burners. If the holes become clogged,
clean them with a small sewing needle or a small
safety pin.
Do not attempt to clean burners in an automatic
dishwasher. Loosened food soil can clog burner
holes, and the strong action of the dishwasher
detergent can damage the burner heads.
Do not clean in self-cleaning oven.
Before putting the burners back, shake out excess
water and dry them thoroughly by setting them in a
warm oven for 30 minutes.

To replace the burners:
1. Slip the air shutter over the gas valve orifice.
2. Lower the burner assembly and hook the tabs in the
slots in the burner support.
3. Be sure both tabs are in their slots, that the burner
sits level and straight, and that the flash tube forms
a straight line from the igniter to the burner.
Burner Grates

Wash them in hot, soapy water or with cleansing
powders and rinse with clean water. Dry the grates
with a cloth—do not put them back on the range wet.
the grates, be sure they’re positioned
over the burners.
To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates in a
covered container or plastic bag. Add 1/4 cup
ammonia and let them soak for 30 minutes. Wash,
rinse well, and dry.
Although they’re durable, the grates will gradually
lose their shine, regardless of the best care you can
give them. This is due to their continual exposure to
high temperatures.
Do not operate a burner for an extended period of
time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the
grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
Do not clean in the self-cleaning oven.
