area underneath. Be sure all cooktop controls are turned
to OFF and burner grates are cool.
1. Remove controls knobs, burner grates and spillover
bowls. Set aside.
2. Grasp the front of the cooktop and lift. Some models
have a swing-up rod to support the cooktop in its
raised position.
3. Clean under the cooktop.
4. Lower the top gently after lowering the support rod
(some models).
5. Replace bowls, grates and control knobs.

raised for cleaning. Be sure that the top is completely
lowered and securely in place before turning on the

care & cleaning
to remove and replace Burners
The burners on your cooktop maybe removed for cleaning.
Be sure all controls are turned to OFF and burner grates
are cool before removing cooktop burner units.
to remove Burners
1. Remove the shipping screws from the support
bracket. See illustrations for location of screws.
2. Grasp the burner head and tilt it to the right to release
the tab from the burner support (A in Figure 1).
3. Lift the end of the burner assembly. Then pull away
from the front of the cooktop to free the air shutter
from the gas valve orifice (B in Figure 1).
If your cooktop is equipped with a standing gas pilot, use
caution when removing burner. The flash tube may be
hot because it is located near the pilot.
Check the lighter and burner ports (Figure 2). If they are
clogged, use a wire or needle to clear them.
To remove burned-on food, soak the burners in a vinegar
and water solution for 20-30 minutes. For stubborn
stains, scrub with soap and water or a mild abrasive
cleanser and a damp cloth. Do not wash burners in a
dishwasher.

to replace Burners
1. Slide the air shutter over the gas valve orifice (Figure
1).
2. Lower the burner assembly and hook the tab in the
slots in the burner support. Make sure it is properly
seated and level.
3. Be sure both tabs are in the correct slots, the burner
sits level and straight, and the flash tube forms a
straight line from the igniter to the burner (Figure 2).
4. Replace shipping screws if desired. These screws are
not necessary for the operation of the burner. They
stabilize the burner during shipping of the appliance.
Retain the screws for later use in the event the range
is moved.
