Саге and Cleaning
Professional Rangetops
Spark igniter
and electrodes The electrode of the electronic ignition system is
positioned at the rear of the burner base. When
cleaning the rangetop, be careful not to snag the
igniter with your cleaning cloth. Damage to the
igniter could occur.
Be careful not to push in a control knob while
cleaning. It could cause the igniter to spark.
Make sure that the white ceramic igniters on
the rangetop are dry and clean. Clean the metal
portion of the electrode with a soft cloth or
emery board.
Do not attempt to remove the electrode from
the rangetop.
Clean this metal part
with an emery board.
Do not clean this
white ceramic part
with an emery board.
Burner
grates
The enameled cast-iron burner grates should be
cleaned regularly.
The grates can be cleaned in the dishwasher.
The frames may be cleaned by hand or in the
dishwasher.
Wash them in hot soapy water, rinse, and dry
thoroughly.
Although they are durable, the grates will
gradually lose their shine, regardless of the
best care you can give them. This is due to their
continual exposure to high temperatures.
Do not operate a burner for an extended
period of time without cookware on the grate.
The finish on the grate may chip without
cookware to absorb the heat.
For stability, the frames have rubber pads on
each corner. During cleaning and use, be careful
not to damage or snag rubber pads.
Grease
troughs
(on some models)
Grease from the griddle and the grill will drain
into the enameled cast-iron grease troughs at
the front of the rangetop. Once the troughs have
cooled, they may be lifted out for easier cleaning.
To remove the cool grease trough from the
griddle, slide it toward the front and lift up.
To remove the cool grease trough from the
grill, lift the grill frame and lift out the trough.
Do not allow grease to accumulate in the grease
troughs as it can be a fire hazard. Clean the
grease troughs as soon as they are cool. The
grease troughs can be cleaned by hand with
hot soapy water or in the dishwasher. Wipe any
spillage in the trough basin with a soft cloth.
For stability, the troughs have rubber pads at the
front. Be careful not to damage the pads when
removing for cleaning.
