Aluminum Foil and Utensils
WARNING
• Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven
bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials
such as aluminum foil. Aluminum foil linings may trap
heat, causing a fire hazard.
• Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil to line
the oven bottom. Improper installation of these liners
may result in risk of electric shock or fire.
Cleaning the sealed burners
IMPORTANT
• 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 circumstances.
• Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum 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 allowed to boil dry
when using the cooktop, not only will the utensil be
damaged or destroyed, but it may fuse to, break, or
mark the ceramic glass surface, permanently
damaging the cooktop surface.
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 contoured
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 operate the
surface burners without the burner caps.
• Do not use spray oven cleaner on the cooktop.

1. Remove the burner cap from the burner head (see

3. Use a toothbrush to clean all over the burner head (see
Figure 39).
4. Use the toothbrush to clean the slots and holes in the
burner (see Figure 39).
5. Use a needle or fine wire to clean out the ignition port
(see Figure 39).
6. Wipe the burner head clean with a soft, clean cloth,
sponge, or scratch-free cleaning pad.
7. Before using the cooktop again, make sure the burner
caps are properly placed and seated on the burner
heads. When placed correctly, the burner cap is
centered on the burner head and will click into place on
the burner head. You can wiggle the cap to test place-
ment, it should not move off the burner head (see
