To Clean the Cooktop
The cooktop is designed to make cleaning easier. Because the four burners are
sealed, cleanups are easy when spillovers are cleaned up immediately.
To clean, wipe with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.
To Clean the Contoured Well Areas, Burner Cap Assembly, Trim
Ring (some models), Burner Pan (some models) and Burner
Base
The contoured well areas, burner cap assembly, trim ring (some models), burner pan
(some models) and burner base should be routinely cleaned. Keeping the burner
ports clean will prevent improper ignition and an uneven flame. See instructions
below.
To Clean the Contoured Well Areas
The contoured well is a recessed area located around each burner unit. If a spill
occurs in one of the four well areas, blot up spill with an absorbent cloth. Rinsewith
a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.
To Remove the Burner Cap Assembly
The burner cap assembly parts differ per model. Your assembly will consist of one
of the following combinations: burner cap and trim ring; burner cap and burner pan;
or burner cap, trim ring and burner pan. Remove in the following order: (1st) burner
cap, (2nd) trim ring and (3rd) burner pan. Do not operate the burners without
the burner cap assembly in place.
To Clean the Burner Cap, Burner Pan (some models) and Trim Ring (some
models)
Use a soap-filled scouring pad or a mild abrasive cleanser to clean burner caps, trim
rings and burner pans.
To Clean the Burner Base and Gas Opening
The ports (or slots) around the burner base must be routinely cleaned. Use a
small-gauge wire or needle to clean small slots or holes. Use care to prevent damage
to the electrode. If a cleaning cloth should catch the electrode, it could break or
damage the electrode. If the electrode isdamaged or broken, the surface burner will
not light.
For proper flow of gas and ignition of the burner--DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS, F OOD,
CLEANINGAGENTSOR ANY OTHERMATERIAL TO ENTERTHE GAS OPENING.Gas
must flow freely through the small hole in the brass orifice for the burners to light
properly. If the orifice gas opening becomes soiled or clogged, use a small-gauge
wire or needle to clean. ALWAYS keep the burner cap assembly in place whenever
a surface burner is in use.
To Replace the Burner Cap Assembly

burner.
I. Lower burner pan (some models) into place around the burner base.

burner base. Make sure each burner cap is properly aligned and level.
