36 Care and Cleaning Cleaning the sealed 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 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 con- toured 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. To clean burner heads: 1. Remove the burner cap from the burner head (see Figure 21). Clean the cap with hot soapy water and dry thoroughly Burner Cap Burner Head Burner Cap Lip Figure 21: Burner Cap 2.

When placed correctly, the burner cap is centered on the burner head and will click into place on the burner head. You can wiggle the cap to test placement, it should not move off the burner head (see "Assembly of the Burner Caps" on page 14 Important notes: • The surface burner heads are secured to the cooktop and must be cleaned in place on the cooktop. • 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.
