CARE AND CLEANING Aluminum Foil and Utensils WARNING • Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard. • Protective Liners - Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire. To clean burner heads: 1. Remove the burner cap and burner head (see Figure 33). Clean the cap and head with hot soapy water and dry thoroughly. 2. For burned-on and dried spills, apply hot soapy water to the burner cap and head to allow time for the soils to soften. Burner Cap IMPORTANT • Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop can damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the surface elements under any circumstances. • Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is much lower than that of other metals. Care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the cooktop. If aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry when using the cooktop, not only will the utensil be damaged or destroyed, but it may fuse to, break, or mark the ceramic glass surface, permanently damaging the cooktop surface. Cleaning the burners To avoid possible burns, do not attempt cleaning before turning off all surface burners and allowing them to cool. 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. Routinely clean the cooktop. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry to avoid scratches. Keeping the surface burner heads clean will prevent improper ignition and an uneven flame. To clean recessed and contoured areas of cooktop: • 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. CAUTION • To avoid possible burns do not attempt to operate the surface burners without the burner caps. • Do not use spray oven cleaner on the cooktop.

Wipe the burner cap and head clean with a soft, clean cloth, sponge, or scratch-free cleaning pad. Wipe out burner orifice with a cloth before placing burner head and cap back on. The burner assembly must be completely dry before use. 5. Make sure the burner caps and heads are placed and seated properly over the ignitor. The three mounting legs on burner will align with slots on the orifice holder. When placed correctly, the burner cap should not move off the burner head (see "Assembly of the burner caps" on page 13). 6. If burner fails to light, recheck placement of burner head to the orifice holder and cap. Important notes: • Always keep the surface burner caps in place whenever a surface burner is in use. • When replacing the burner caps, be sure the burner caps are seated firmly on top of the burner heads. For proper flow of gas and ignition of burners do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or any other material to enter the gas orifice port opening. 40
