Cleaning and Maintenance

Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained
properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no exception. Your
rangetop must be kept clean and maintained properly.
Make sure all burners are "off" before cleaning. Disconnect power if you
are going to clean thoroughly with water.
Open Surface Burners (If applicable)
Wipe up spill-overs as soon as possible after they occur and before
they get a chance to burn in and cook solid. In the event of a spill-
over, follow these steps:
1. Allow the burner and grate to cool to a safe temperature level.
2. Lift off the burner grates.
3. If the spill is contained in the bowl of the grate support, just remove
the bowl and clean in warm soapy water.
4. Lift the grate support off.
5. Wash these parts in hot, soapy water and rinse clean.
6. If the spill has gone lower than the grate supports, draw out the
drip pan and wash with hot, soapy water.
If ports on the burners are clogged, clean with a straight pin. Do not
enlarge or disort the ports. Do not use a toothpick to clean the ports.
Make sure burner cap is level. Occasionally check the burner for proper
size and shape. If flames lift off ports, are yellow, or are noisy when
turned on, you may need to clean the burners or call a qualified
technician for adjustments.
