Cleaning and Maintenance Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no exception. Your range must be kept clean and maintained properly. Before cleaning, make sure all controls are in the "OFF" position. Disconnect power if you are going to clean thoroughly with water. WARNING BURN OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD Make sure all controls are OFF and oven is COOL before cleaning. Failure to do so can result in burns or electrical shock Surface Burners Wipe up spill-overs as soon as possible after they occur and before they get a chance to burn in and cook solid. In the event of a spill-over, follow these steps: • Allow the burner and grate to cool to a safe temperature level. • Lift off the burner grate. Wash in warm soapy water. • Remove the burner head and clean. Grates After cooking, always wipe down grates and burner caps with a damp sponge and dry thoroughly. Normal cleaning can be done with hot, soapy water and/or Soft Scrub cleanser (without bleach) with a blue Scotch-Brite pad. When cleaning grates, make sure to thoroughly dry them, especially underneath. If the bottom portion does not totally dry before setting them back on the cooking surface, they may rust. You can also set the grates on top of the burner and turn the burner on high for ten to fifteen seconds for extra drying. To prevent rusting and discoloration, do not submerge grates in water soak for any length of time or run them through the dishwasher. If rust does occur, Bar Keeper's Friend and a blue Scotch-Brite pad will remove it. To condition grates, apply a light coating of mineral oil or vegetable oil. Allow oil to soak in 15 minutes before returnng to cooking surface. Burner Head If ports on burner head are clogged, clean with a straight pin. DO NOT enlarge or distort the ports. DO NOT use a toothpick to clean the ports. Burner Grate Burner Head Note: For stubborn stains, use a non abrasive cleanser such as Bon Ami™ and a soft brush or soft Scotch Brite™ pad or place burner heads in a zip seal bag with ammonia. Burner Base Burner Base The base should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water at the end of each cooling period. DO NOT use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleanser, or powders. To remove encrusted materials, soak the area with a hot towel to loosen the material, then use a wooden or nylon spatula. DO NOT use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape the base. •Wipe up any spills which remain on the sealed top surface. •Replace burner head, and grates after drying thoroughly. 20
