Cleaning The Cooktop And Surface Burners; Replacing The Oven Light - Frigidaire DGGF3054KFN Use & Care Manual

Cleaning the cooktop and surface burners
(cont'd)
For proper flow of gas and ignition of burners -- DO
NOT allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any
other material to enter the gas orifice opening.
• The surface burner heads are secured to the
cooktop and must be cleaned in place.
Cleaning burner caps
• Remove caps from burner heads only after they are cool.
• DO NOT clean burner caps in the dishwasher.
• DO NOT use abrasive cleaners. They can scratch and
dull the porcelain finish.
• Clean heavy soils with a nonabrasive plastic scrubbing
pad and wipe with absorbent cloth.
• Thoroughly dry burner caps immediately following
cleaning including the bottom and inside of cap.
Cleaning 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 nonabrasive brush like a
toothbrush and afterwards wipe up using a damp cloth (See
Fig. 1). For stubborn soils located in the slots, use a small-
gauge wire or needle to clean.

Cleaning burner head ignition ports
Each round burner head has a small ignition port (Fig. 1).
Should you experience ignition problems it may be that this
port 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 (center burner not shown).
To clean burner grates
• Clean ONLY when the grates are completely cool.
• Use nonabrasive plastic scrubbing pad and a mild
abrasive cleanser.
• Food soils containing acids may affect the finish. Clean
immediately after the grates are cool.
• Thoroughly dry grates immediately following cleaning.
Aluminum foil and
oven liners
Do not use aluminum liners
or foil to cover the oven
bottom or cover the oven
racks with foil.
Liners or covers will restrict the heat and air flow needed
to obtain the best possible cooking results for any oven,
including the warmer drawer (some models).
The temperatures generated inside the oven during the
self-clean cycle are high enough to melt aluminum,
resulting in possible damage to the interior porcelain oven
surfaces. Read the following warning:
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven
bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as
aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven
and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil
linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
