CARE & CLEANING Cleaning the cooktop and surface burners To avoid possible burns DO NOT attempt the cleaning instructions provided below before turning OFF the surface burners and provide sufficient time for the cooktop and all cooktop parts to cool. To clean recessed and contoured areas of cooktop Routinely clean the cooktop. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry to avoid scratches. 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. To clean burner grates • Clean when the grates are cool. • Use nonabrasive plastic scrubbing pad and mild abrasive cleanser. • Food soils containing acids may affect the finish. Clean immediately after the grates are cool. • Thoroughly dry grates immediately following cleaning. To clean burner caps • Remove caps from burner heads after they have cooled. • Clean heavy soils with a plastic scrubbing pad and absorbent cloth. • Thoroughly dry burner caps immediately following cleaning including the bottom and inside of cap. • Do not use abrasive cleaners. They can scratch porcelain. • Do not clean burner caps in the dishwasher. • Check for correct burner cap placement after having removed and replaced the burner caps for cleaning. Checking for proper burner cap placement (cont'd) On round style burners, the burner cap lip should fit snug into the center of burner head and rest level (Fig. 1).

To prevent flare-ups and avoid creation of harmful by-products, do not use the cooktop without all burner caps properly installed to insure proper ignition and gas flame size. IMPORTANT When placing burner caps, be sure that all burner caps are seated firmly and rest level on top of burner heads. Fig.4 Refer to Figs. 2 & 3 for correct and incorrect burner cap placement. Once in place, you may check the fit by gently sliding the burner cap from side to side (Fig. 4) to be sure it is centered and firmly seated. When the burner cap lip makes contact inside the center of the burner head you will be able to hear the burner cap click. Please note that the burner cap should NOT move off the center of the burner head when sliding from side to side. Check and be sure that all oval style (some models) burner caps are correctly in place on oval burner heads.
