Sealed Burner Assemblies Ion some models)
Turn all controls OFF before removing the
burner parts and drip pans (if so equipped).
The burner grates, caps, burner heads and drip
pans (if so equipped) can be lifted off, making
them easy to clean. The electrodes are not
removable.
NOTE:Do not use steel wool or scouring
powders to clean the burners.
CAUTION:
not operate the
cooktop without all burner parts, drip pans (ifso
equipped) and grates in place.
NOTE:Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop
on sealed burner models can lead to damage
and improper operation of the range.
The electrode of the spark igniter is
exposed when the burner head is
removed. When one burner is turned
to LITE,all the burners spark. Do
not attempt to disassemble or clean
around any burner while another
burner is on. An electric shock may
result, which could cause you to knock
over hot cookware.
Burner Grates
Lift out when cool. Grates should be washed
regularly and, of course, after spillovers. Wash
them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean
water. After cleaning, dry them thoroughly by
putting them in a warm oven for a few minutes.
Don't put the grates back on the range while
they are wet. When replacing the grates, be
sure they are positioned securely over the
burners.
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.
To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates in
a covered container. Add 1/4 cup ammonia and
let them soak several hours or overnight. Wash,
rinse well and dry.
Although they are 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. You
will notice this sooner with lighter color grates.
NOTE:Do not clean the grates in a self-cleaning
oven.
