General Cleaning

 (continued)

To Raise and Lower the Top for Cleaning

1.

Remove burner grates and spillover bowls. Set aside.

2.

Grasp the front of the cooktop and then lift.

3.

Lift the top high enough to fully raise the support rods. The 

Lift-up rods

 will support the top in its raised position.

4.

Clean underneath using hot, soapy water and a clean cloth; then dry.

5.

Lower the top gently after lowering the support rod.

  When lowering the top, grasp the sides with fingertips only. Be careful not to pinch fingers. Also, 

DO NOT

 drop

or bend the cooktop when raising or lowering. This could damage the surface.

  

DO NOT

 turn the burners on when the cooktop is raised  for cleaning. Be sure that the top is completely lowered

and securely in place before turning on the burners.

To Remove and Replace Burners for Cleaning

Your model will have one of the two burners types shown below. Follow the instructions that correspond with the burners on your
cooktop.

To Remove Burners (Figure 1)

1. Remove shipping screws with a Phillips® Head screwdriver. See illustration for

screw locations.

2. Tilt the burner at the end closest to the support bar until the locator tab is released (front burners tilt right, rear burners tilt left).

Move it toward the back of the cooktop. This will separate it from the gas valve at the front of the cooktop.
