Product Care
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.
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 burner base and clean.
Burner Heads
The surface burner heads should be routinely removed and cleaned. ALWAYS
clean the burner heads after a spill-over. Keeping the burner heads clean will
prevent improper ignition and uneven flames. To clean, pull burner head straight
up from the burner base. Wipe off with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth after
each use. Use a non-abrasive cleanser such as Bon Ami™ and a soft brush or soft
Scotch Brite™ pad for cooked-on foods. 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.Dry thoroughly after cleaning. For best cleaning and to
avoid possible rusting, DO NOT clean in dishwasher or self-cleaning oven. When
replacing the burner head, carefully align the locator key in the outer edge below
the burner ports with the small notch in the top front edge of the burner base.
When properly installed, the locator graphic will align with the ignitor opposite the locator pin.
Cleaning Tip: For difficult to clean burner heads and bases, place parts in a zip seal bag with ammonia.
For Tough Stains on Burner Heads:
•Mix Bar Keepers Friend® and water to make a paste. Coat area to be cleaned and leave
for about 30 minutes.
•Scrub burner head with a green 3M® pad. It’s best to put the burner head
on a hard surface with a towel under it, so it doesn’t scratch the surface.
Apply pressure when scrubbing. Rinse well with warm water. Make sure
paste does not clog burner holes on sides.
•Right side was cleaned using this method. NOTE: Not guaranteed to remove all stains. Stain
strength varies depending on type of spill, temperature of burner head when spill occurred,
length of time spill remained on burner, etc.
Burner Base
To clean, pull burner base straight up from the burner flange. Wipe off with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth after each
use. Use a non-abrasive cleanser such as Bon Ami™ and a soft brush or soft Scotch Brite™ pad for cooked-on foods. When
replacing burner base, carefully align the three ribs underneath the burner base with the three grooves in the burner flange.
Make sure the burner base is level by aligning the rib that has a pin with the groove that has a hole.
Note: For stubborn stains, use a non abrasive cleanser such as Bon Ami™ and a soft brush or soft Scotch Brite™ pad.
Cleaning Tip: For difficult to clean burner heads and bases, place parts in a zip seal bag with ammonia.
Burner Flange
After the burner flange has cooled, it should be wiped with hot soapy water but do not allow
water to run or drip in the large center opening. 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 burner flange.
• Wipe up any spills which remain on the sealed top surface.
• Replace burner base, burner head, and grates after drying thoroughly.
