Griddle Accessory
DO NOT immerse a hot griddle in cold water.
Once the griddle has cooled, wash with soap
or detergent in hot water in the sink. Be sure
to remove all food residue before cooking on
the griddle again. Remove stubborn spots with a plastic scouring
pad. For best results, use only those cleaning
products which are recommended for use
when cleaning non-stick surfaces. Do not use
steel wool or coarse scouring pads.
DO NOT wash in a dishwasher.

Igniters Electrodes
It is important to keep igniter port openings on
burners clear and free of obstructions to avoid
ignition failure and possible gas buildup. If the
port openings are blocked, use a twist tie or
paper clip to remove any clogs in the burner
slits.
This small metal rod in the burner produces
the spark and must be kept clean and dry to
properly ignite the gas. Use a dry paper towel
or scrub pad to keep the electrode clean.
Sealed Burner Module
Cooktop Surface:
To prevent the cooktop from discoloring or
staining:
• Clean the cooktop after each use.
• Wipe up acidic or sugary spills as soon as
the cooktop has cooled, because these
spills may discolor the porcelain.
Sealed Burners:
The sealed burners of your cooktop are
secured to the cooktop module and are not
designed to be removed. Since the burners
are sealed into the module, boilovers or
spills will not seep underneath the cooktop.
However, the burner heads should be cleaned
after each use.
Burner Grate:
The grate must be properly positioned before
cooking. Improper installation of the grate
may result in chipping of the cooktop.
Do not operate burners without a pan on the
grate. The grate’s porcelain finish may chip
without a pan to absorb the heat from the
burner flame.
Although the burner grate is durable, it will
gradually lose its shine and/or discolor, due to
the high temperatures of the gas flame.
Burner Caps:
Lift off when cool. Wash burner caps in hot,
soapy water and rinse with clean water. You
may scour with a plastic scouring pad to
remove burned-on food particles.
Porcelain Burner Basin
This area is located under the grill and surface
burners and should be cleaned after each use
of the grill.
To remove light soil, clean with soapy water
or with a cleaner such as 409 ® . For easier
cleanup, soak paper towels in a household
cleanser, lay in the burner basin and soak for
at least a half hour or longer.
To remove moderate soil, scrub with Comet ® ,
Bon Ami ® , a soft scrub cleanser or plastic
scrubber.
To remove stubborn soil, spray with an oven
cleaner. Let soak overnight. Wipe clean. Rinse
and dry.
