Use and Care Manual

54
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 cap and burner head and clean.
Burner Caps
The surface burner caps should be routinely removed and cleaned.
ALWAYS clean the burner caps after a spill-over. Keeping the burner caps clean will
prevent improper ignition and uneven ames. To clean, pull burner cap straight up
from the burner base. Wipe off surface burner caps with warm, soapy water and a
soft cloth after each use. Use a non-abrasive cleanser and a soft brush or soft Scotch
Brite™ pad for cooked-on foods. Dry thoroughly after cleaning. For best cleaning and
to avoid possible rusting, DO NOT clean in dishwasher.
Cleaning and Maintenance
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 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 nylon spatula. DO NOT use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool
to scrape the aluminum base.
• Wipe up any spills which remain on the sealed top surface.
• Replace burner cap, burner head, and grates after drying thoroughly.
Control Panel
DO NOT use any cleaners containing ammonia or abrasives. They could
remove the graphics from the control panel. Use hot, soapy water and a soft clean
cloth.

STEEL WOOL PADS OR ABRASIVE CLOTHS,CLEANSERS, OVEN CLEANERS, OR
