When lowering the top,
grasp the sides with fingertips only. Be
careful not to pinch fingers. Also, DO
NOT drop or bend the rangetop when
raising or lowering. This could damage
the surface.
DO NOT turn the burners
on when the cooktop is raised for
cleaning. Be sure that the top is
completely lowered and securely in
place before turning on the burners.

Venturi Burner Models
To Raise and Lower the Top for Cleaning
1. Remove burner grates and spillover bowls. Set aside.
2. Grasp the sides of the cooktop and then lift from the front.
3. Lift the top high enough to allow the support rods to snap into place. The
Lift-up rods will support the top in its raised position.
4. Clean underneath using hot, soapy water and a clean cloth; then, dry.
5. Lower the top gently by pushing back on each rod. This will release the
notched support. Hold the range top and slide the range top down into the
range frame.
To Remove and Replace Burners for Cleaning
To Remove Burners
1. Remove shipping screws with a Phillips® Head screwdriver. See illustration
for screw locations.
2. Tilt the burner at the end closest to the support bar until the locator tab
is released (front burners tilt right, rear burners tilt left). Move it toward the
back of the range. This will separate it from the gas valve at the front of the
range.
To clean, soak the burners in a 1:1 solution of ammonia and water for 30 to
40 minutes. For stubborn stains, scrub with soap and water or a mild abrasive
cleanser and a damp cloth. Dry the burners thoroughly in a warm oven for 30
minutes. Then replace them, making sure they are properly seated and level.
DO NOT wash burner units in the dishwasher.
To Replace Burners
1. Slide the burner tube over the gas valve at the front of the range (front
burners fit over the right valve, rear burners fit over the left valve on each
side of the range).
2. Tilt burner so that the locating tab will slide into the slot on the support bar.
Make sure burners are properly seated on support bar and are level.
3. Replace shipping screws if desired.
