Surface burners and cooktop
The range and burner box areas are specially
designed to make cleaning easier. Since the four
burners are sealed, cleanups are easy and
convenient.
To
clean
the cook-top, wipe
with a damp
spongeanddry.
Product Damage Hazard
Do not remove the cooktop.
Doing so could result in product damage.
Cleaning the contoured well
areas
The contoured well is a recessed area located
around each burner. If spills occur in the con-
toured well section,
blot up
spill with a paper
towel.
Wipe
with a clean, damp sponge and dry.
When cleaning the cooktop area or around
the burner base,
use
care
to prevent damage to
the ignitor. If a cleaning utensil should catch the
ignitor, it could damage or break the ignitor. If the
ignitor is damaged or broken, the surface burner
will not light.
When cleaning the cooktop, leave
the burner cap in place to protect the ignitor from
possible damage.
Cleaning the burners
The burner caps should be routinely removed and
cleaned. Always
clean
the burner caps after a
spillover. Keeping the burner caps clean will
prevent improper ignition and an uneven flame.
To clean, pull
the burner cap straight up from
the burner base. Remove the trim ring. (Trim ring
must be replaced over burner base before
replacing burner cap. Do not operate burners
without trim rings in place.)
Clean
burner cap and
trim ring with warm, soapy water and a sponge.
You can also clean with a nonabrasive scrubbing
pad or cleanser. Do not clean burner cap or trim
ring in a dishwasher or self-cleaning oven.
For proper flow of gas and ignition of the
burner, DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD,
CLEANING AGENTS OR ANY OTHER MATE-
RIAL TO ENTER THE GAS TUBE OPENING. If
the opening or the orifice, located inside the
opening, becomes soiled or clogged,
use
a
cotton swab or a paper towel to clean the area.
