CARE AND CLEANING Cleaning the cooktop and surface burners To avoid possible burns turn off all of the surface burners and allow 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 head ports and slots 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. 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. Do not clean burner caps in the dishwasher. Do not operate surface burners without burner caps properly in place. To clean the surface burner heads For proper gas flow it may be necessary to clean the burner head and slots. 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 and wipe up using a damp cloth. For stubborn soils located in the slots, use a small-gauge wire or needle to clean. The electrode must be carefully cleaned. Take care not to hit the electrode with any thing hard or it could be damaged. To clean the burner head ignition ports Each burner head has a small ignition port (Figure 38). Should you experience ignition problems it may be that this port hole is partially blocked with soil. With the burner head in place, use a small wire gauge needle or the end of a paper clip to clear the ignition port. slots ignition port orifice port Figure 38: Gas burner head parts Replacing the oven light CAUTION Be sure the oven is unplugged and all parts are cool before replacing oven light.
