CArE AND CLEANING
Cleaning the sealed burners
To avoid possible burns, do not attempt cleaning
before turning off all surface burners and allowing
them to cool.
Any additions, changes, or conversions required in
order for this appliance to satisfactorily meet the
application needs must be made by an authorized
qualified Agency. Routinely clean the cooktop. Wipe
with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry to avoid
scratches. Keeping the surface burner head ports
and slots clean will prevent improper ignition and
an uneven flame.
To clean recessed and contoured areas of cooktop:
• If a spill occurs on or in the recessed or con-
toured areas, blot up spill with an absorbent
cloth.
• Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.
CAUTION
• To avoid possible burns do not attempt to op-
erate the surface burners without the burner
caps.
• Do not use spray oven cleaner on the cooktop.
To clean burner heads:
1. Remove the burner cap from the burner head
(see Figure 15). Clean the cap with hot soapy
water and dry thoroughly.

• When replacing the burner caps, be sure the
burner caps are seated firmly on top of the
burner heads.

do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or
any other material to enter the gas orifice port
