Care and Cleaning 41 Cleaning cooktop and parts CAUTION • Do not remove any parts from the cooktop until they have completely cooled and are safe to handle. DO NOT attempt to clean the cooktop whenever the cooktop or burner heads are still hot. • To avoid possible burns DO NOT attempt to operate the surface burners without the burner caps. • 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. IMPORTANT • Do not use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop. • Before placing burner grates onto cooktop, turn grates over to identify rear of grate and place all the grates to the rear of the cooktop. • For proper gas flow and ignition of the burners, DO NOT allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter the gas orifice opening. • The cooktop is not removable. Do not attempt to remove or lift the cooktop. • When placing the burner caps on the cooktop, be sure the burner caps are seated firmly on top of burner heads. Refer to "Before setting surface burners" in the "Surface Cooking" Section. The cooktop is designed to make cleaning easier. The gas burners are sealed so cleanup is easy when spillovers are cleaned immediately. Cooktop If a spill occurs on the recessed or contoured areas, blot with an absorbent cloth. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners on the cooktop. They can scratch the porcelain. Completely rinse any cleaners used on the porcelain cooktop may become damaged during future heating. Burner grates The burner grates are dishwasher safe and may be cleaned in the dishwasher. Remove any excessive soils before placing in the dishwasher. Burner caps To remove the burner caps for cleaning, lift the burner cap off the burner head. Clean heavy soils with an absorbent cloth. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and thoroughly dry the bottom and inside of the cap. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners; they can scratch the porcelain on the cap. Do not clean burner caps in dishwasher. Refer to "Before setting surface burners" in the "Surface Cooking" Section. Burner heads Lift the burner cap from the burner head. The surface burner heads are secured to the cooktop and must be cleaned in place. For proper gas flow it may be necessary to clean the burner heads and slots. To clean, first use a clean DAMP cloth to soak up any spills. Remove any food from between the burner slots using a small nonabrasive brush like a toothbrush. Afterwards wipe using a damp cloth. For stubborn soils located in the slots, use a small-gauge wire or needle to clean. Should you experience ignition problems it may be that an ignition port hole is partially blocked with soil. (See Figure 1) . With the burner head in place, use a small wire gauge needle or the end of a paper clip to clear the ignition port or ports. slots ignition port orifice port Fig. 1 - Cooktop burner head
