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
qualifi ed 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 fl ame.
To clean recessed and contoured areas of cooktop:
• If a spill occurs on or in the recessed or
contoured areas, blot up spill with an absorbent
cloth.
• Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.
CAUTION
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven
racks, and cooktop will become very hot which
can cause burns.
To clean burner heads:
1. Remove the burner cap and burner head (see
Figure 19). Clean the cap and head with hot
soapy water and dry thoroughly.
2. For burned-on and dried spills, apply hot soapy
water to the burner cap and head to allow time
for the soils to soften.

3. Use a toothbrush to clean all over the burner
head.
4. Wipe the burner cap and head clean with a soft,
clean cloth, sponge, or scratch-free cleaning
pad. Wipe out burner orifi ce with a cloth before
placing burner head and cap back on. The
burner assembly must be completely dry before
use.
5. Make sure the burner caps and heads are placed
and seated properly over the ignitor. The three
mounting legs on burner will align with slots on
the orifi ce holder. When placed correctly, the
burner cap should not move off the burner head
(see "Assembly of the burner caps" on page 13).
6. If burner fails to light, recheck placement of
burner head to the orifi ce holder and cap.
IMPORTANT
Always keep the surface burner caps in place
whenever a surface burner is in use.
When replacing the burner caps, be sure the
burner caps are seated fi rmly on top of the burner
heads.
Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot
cooktop can damage the cooktop. Do not use thin
aluminum cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil
to touch the surface elements under any circum-
stances.
Aluminum utensils - The melting point of alumi-
num is much lower than that of other metals. Care
must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are
used on the cooktop. If aluminum pans are al-
lowed to boil dry when using the cooktop, not only
will the utensil be damaged or destroyed, but it
may fuse to, break, permanently damaging the
cooktop surface.
For proper fl ow of gas and ignition of burners do
not allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or any oth-
er material to enter the gas orifi ce port opening
