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
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 to
remove food particles.
Sealed Burner Modules
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 Grates:
The grates must be properly positioned
before cooking. Improper installation
of the grates 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 grates are
durable, they will gradually lose their
shine and/or discolor, due to the high
temperatures of the gas flame.
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.
