Spark Module Battery Replacement
The Push Button Spark Igniter contains a "AAA"
battery which requires periodic replacement. This is
evidenced by a decline in the spark frequency and
intensity. Follow these procedures to replace battery.
1. Turn the silver-colored ribbed collar surrounding the
push button, counter-clockwise one-half turn and
pull out to remove. (See Figure 17, Page 17)
2. Remove old battery and replace. Insert the positive
(+) end of the battery in the Spark Module first.
3. Replace push button assembly, pushing in and
turning clockwise to tighten.

Cleaning
CAUTION:
ALWAYS ALLOW THE GRILL TO COOL
BEFORE CLEANING.
Radiant Glass Panels (See Appendix G for more
information)
Cleaning required to maintain proper function of the
Radiant Glass Panels is discussed under Care of Radiant
Glass Panels on page 16. The cosmetic appearance of the
glass may be improved through additional cleaning with
ceramic glass cleaning creams. The following are the
cleaning creams approved by the glass manufacturer:
g
ELCO/Weimann CookTop Cleaning Creme
g
Golden Ventures Cerama Bryte
g
Hope's Cooktop Cleaning Cream
g
Whirlpool Cooktop Cleaner
WARNING:
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE SPONGES OR
SCOURING PADS OF ANY TYPE. DO NOT USE
CORROSIVE CLEANERS SUCH AS OVEN SPRAYS,
STAIN REMOVERS, OR CLEANERS CONTAINING
CHLORINE OR AMMONIA.
Prior to using an approved cream, scrape off any charred
residue and the wipe glass with a damp paper towel or
cloth as described under Care of Radiant Glass Panels.
When the surface is cool, apply a few dabs (the size of a
dime) of an approved cleaner and work the cleaner over
the glass with a damp paper towel or cloth as if you were
cleaning a window. Wipe the glass with a clean, damp
cloth then wipe dry.
Drip Tray
Remove debris and rinse with warm soapy water.
Warming Rack, Hood Body Trim Panels, and
Heat Shield
If necessary, these parts may be removed for cleaning.
(See Figure 18, page 17)
Cooking Grids
Wash the Cooking Grids thoroughly with dish detergent
and warm water before using. After cooking, refer to the
general overview on page 16. The grill should be
operated for 5-10 minutes on HIGH after each use. This
will turn most of the residue on the Cooking Grids to
ash. Additional deposits can be removed using a spatula.
Damp paper towels can be used to remove dust from the
top of the grid channels. The Cooking Grids may also be
removed and cleaned with a brass or stainless steel
bristle brush and soapy solution. Standard oven cleaners
may be used for further cleaning. Discoloration,
oxidation and surface rust on Cooking Grids which in the
normal course of grill operation are exposed to high
levels of heat are not warranted.
