Burner Grate
Removing the Burner Grate and Cooktop
Cover for cleaning:
Place a towel on the counter next to the
cooktop.
Remove the burner grate by lifting out
of rubber inserts of cooktop cover and
place on towel.
Remove the cooktop cover up by
pushing cover toward rear of cooktop
and lift cover at the front edge. Place
cooktop on the towel.
Cleaning
Clean all surfaces as soon as possible
after boil-overs or spills.
Use warm soapy water to clean the
burner grates, painted surfaces, porcelain
surfaces, stainless steel surfaces and
plastic items on the range or cooktop.
Grit or acid-type cleaners may ruin the
surface.
Use only non-abrasive plastic scrubbing
pads.
DO NOT allow foods containing
acids (such as lemon or tomato juice,
or vinegar) to remain on porcelain or
painted surfaces. Acids may remove the
glossy nish. Wipe up egg spills when
cooktop is cool.
Allow porcelain surfaces to cool before
cleaning. Burns from the heated surface
may occur or the cooktop porcelain can
crack.
Regular cleaning with a soft cloth and a warm
detergent solution is generally enough to keep
the cooktop clean. Wash, rinse and dry with a
soft cloth. Thoroughly clean the cooktop when it
is cool. Use a dry cloth or paper towel while the
surface is warm to the touch to clean splatters
or spills. Cleaning will be more dif cult if spills
bake on to the surface. Glass cleaner sprayed
on a paper towel should be used for the cooktop
surface. DO NOT spray glass cleaner directly
on the surface. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners
or steel wool. Harsh cleansers like bleach,
ammonia and oven cleaner should NEVER be
used. The surface burner grate and caps should
be cleaned using the same guidelines as the
cooktop surface.
Porcelain Enamel
Porcelain enamel, a type of glass fused on
steel at a very high temperature, is not extremely
delicate but must be treated as glass. Sharp
blows, radical surface temperature changes,
etc., will cause enamel to chip or crack. Some
foods such as vinegar, lemon juice, tomatoes
and milk contain acids that can dull the nish
of the enamel. To avoid dulling the nish, wipe
up the spill before it is baked-on. The surface
is glass and must be given consideration when
cleaning. Steel wool and coarse, gritty cleanser
will scratch or mar the surface. Any gentle
kitchen cleanser powder or grease cleaner will
be suitable. For further information on care of
the porcelain, call: “Hopes Cultured Marble
Polish at 800-325-4026.
COOKTOP WITH OVEN (OPTIONAL)
The cooktop range/oven is operated and
maintained the same as the cooktop.
The oven may be used with the cover on.
DO NOT block vent openings on cover.
Push in the oven control knob and rotate
counterclockwise to “Pilot On.”
Manually light the oven pilot located
near the back of the oven, under the
broiler shelf and to the left of the oven
burner.
