Burner Caps
The surface burner caps should be routinely removed and cleaned.
Always clean the burner caps after a spill over. Keeping the burner caps
clean will prevent improper ignition and uneven flames. To clean, pull
burner cap straight up from the burner base. Wipe off surface burner
caps with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth after each use. Use a a
non-abrasive cleanser such as Bon Ami™ and a soft brush or soft Scotch
Brite™ pad for cooked-on foods. Dry thoroughly after cleaning. For best
cleaning and to avoid possible rusting, do not clean in dishwasher or
self-cleaning oven.
Control Knobs
MAKE SURE THE CONTROL KNOBS POINT TO THE OFF POSITION
BEFORE REMOVING. Pull the knobs straight off. Wash in detergent and
warm water. Do not soak knobs. Dry completely and replace by pushing
firmly onto stem. DO NOT USE any cleaners containing ammonia or
abrasives. They could remove the graphics from the knob.
Control Panel
DO NOT USE any cleaners containing ammonia or abrasives. They could
remove the graphics from the control panel. Use hot, soapy water and a
soft clean cloth.
Wok Cast Iron Burner (If applicable)
For proper lighting and performance of the burner, keep the electric
igniter and burner ports clean. It is necessary to clean these only when
the flame does not burn blue completely around all rings of the burner,
when there is a severe spillover or when the burner does not light, even
though the electric spark igniter sparks. Clean the burner by scraping off
burned on food soil. Use a wire, a straightened paper clip, or needle to
clean the ports. Do not use a toothpick; it could break off in the port. Be
sure the venturi tube remains dry.

Sealed Burner Aluminum Base (If applicable)
The aluminum base should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water at
the end of each cooling period. DO NOT use steel wool, abrasive cloths,
cleanser or powders. To remove encrusted materials, soak the area with
a hot towel to loosen the material, then use a wooden nylon spatula. DO
NOT use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape the
aluminum base. NOTE: For stubborn stains, use a non abrasive cleanser
such as Bon Ami™ and a soft brush or soft Scotch Brite™ pad.
Note: When replacing burner head, arrow must be pointing towards
back of range.
If ports on the open or sealed burners are clogged, clean with a straight
pin. Do not enlarge or distort the ports. Do not use a toothpick to clean
the ports. When replacing burner caps, carefully align the tabs
underneath the cap with the outside edge of burner. Make sure the tabs
are not aligned with the igniter and the burner cap is level.
Sealed Surface Burners (If applicable)

2. Lift off the burner grate. Wash in warm, soapy water.
3. Remove the burner cap and burner head and clean, per instructions
