Cleaning the Cooktop
The cooktop is designed to make cleaning easier. Since 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.
DO NOT
attempt to clean the cooktop
when the cooktop or burner heads are still hot. The contoured well areas and burner drip pans (some models) should be
routinely cleaned. Keeping the burner head ports and slots clean will prevent improper ignition and an uneven flame. Refer
to the following sections for further instructions.

keep the surface burner cap and surface burner head in place whenever a surface burner is in use.
To clean the burner head ignition ports -
Each burner head has a small
ignition port located as illustrated. Should you experience ignition problems it
may be that this port hole is partially blocked with soil. With the burner head in
place, use a small wire gauge needle or the end of a paper clip to clear the
ignition port.
To Clean the Surface Burner Heads
- For proper gas flow it may be necessary
to clean the burner head and slots. To clean, first use a clean DAMP cloth to
soak up any spills. Remove any food from between the burner slots using a small
non-abrasive brush like a toothbrush and afterwards wipe up using a damp cloth.
For stubborn soils located in the slots, use a small-gauge wire or needle to clean
the slots.
Please Note:
The surface burner heads are secured to the cooktop and must be
cleaned in place on the cooktop.
