Standard Twin Burners
CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE BURNER
WITHOUT ALL BURNER PARTS AND DRIP
PANS (IF SO EQUIPPED) IN PLACE.
On models with standard twin burners, the cooktop
lifts up for easy access.
Turn all controls OFF before removing burner
parts and drip pans (if so equipped).
The burner grates and drip pans (if so equipped)
can be lifted off, making them easy to clean.
The holes in the surface burners of your range must
be kept clean at all times for proper ignition and an
even, unhampered flame.
Drip Pans
(on some models)
Remove the grates and lift out the drip pans.
Drip pans can be cleaned in dishwasher or by hand.
To get rid of burned-on food, place them in a
covered container (or plastic bag) with 62 ml (1/4 cup)
ammonia to loosen the soil. Then scrub with a
soap-filled scouring pad if necessary.
When replacing the drip pans, make sure they are in
the correct position.
CAUTION: Do not clean the drip pans in a
self-cleaning oven.

CARE AND CLEANING

Surface Burner
You should clean the surface burners routinely,
especially after bad spillovers, which could clog
these holes. Wipe off surface burners. If heavy
spillover occurs, remove the surface burners from
the range. Burners lift out for cleaning. Lift up the
cooktop and then lift out the surface burners.
To remove burned-on food, soak the surface burner
in a solution of mild liquid detergent and hot water.
Soak the surface burner for 20 to 30 minutes. For
more stubborn stains, use a cleanser like Soft Scrub
®
brand or Bon Ami brand. Rinse well to remove any
traces of the cleanser that might clog the surface
burner openings. Do not use steel wool because it
will clog the surface burner openings and scratch the
surface burners. If the holes become clogged, clean
them with a sewing needle or twist tie.
Before putting the surface burner back, shake out
excess water and then dry it thoroughly by setting it in
a warm oven for 30 minutes. Then place it back in the
range, making sure it is properly seated and level.
Check the flame pattern of each burner. If the flames
are "jumpy" (not steady), clean the holes again with a
sewing needle or twist tie.
Clean these
holes
thoroughly
on each
burner.
