To Clean the Recessed & Contoured Areas of the Cooktop - If a spill occurs on or in
the recessed or contoured areas, blot up spill with an absorbent cloth. Rinse with a
clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.

Remove in the following order: (1st) surface burner grate, (2nd) surface burner cap, (3rd)
surface burnerhead and (4th) surface burnerdrip pan (ifequipped).
Reverse the procedure above to replace the surface burner cap, surface burner head and
surface burner drip pans (if equipped). Do not remove any parts from the cooktop
until they have completely cooled and are safe to handle. Do not operate the
surface burners without the surface burner cap and surface burner head properly
in place.
To Clean the Surface Burner Cap, Surface Burner Head & Surface Burner Drip
Pan (some models) - Use a soap-filled scouring pad or a mild abrasive cleanser to
clean the surface burner caps, surface burner heads and surface burnerdrip pans (if
equipped). The ports (or slots) around the burnerhead must be routinely cleaned, if
residue still remains in these ports, use a small-gauge wire or needle to clean the slots
or holes. For proper flow of gas and ignition of the burner— DO NOT ALLOWSPILLS,
