On models with standard twin burners, the
cooktop lifts up for easy access.
Turn all the controls off before removing burner
parts and drip pans (if so equipped).
The burner grates and drip pans (if so equipped) can
be lifted off, making them easy to clean.
The holes in the surface
burners of your range
must be kept clean at all
times for proper
ignition and an even,
unhampered flame.
You should dean the
surface burners
routinely,
especially
after bad spillovers,
which could clog these
holes. Wipe off the surface burners. If heavy spillover
occurs, remove the surface burners from the range.
Burners lift out for cleaning. Lift up the cooktop and
then lift out the surface burners.

burner.
To remove burned-on food, soak the surface burner
in a solution of mild liquid detergent and water. Soak
the surface burner for 20 to 30 minutes. For more
stubborn stains use a cleanser lilce Soft Scrub® brand
or Bon Ami® brand. Rinse well to remove any traces
of the cleanser that might clog the burner openings.
Do nor use steel wool because it will dog the surface
burner openings and scratch the surface burners. If
the holes become clogged, clean them with a sewing
needle or twist-tie.
Before putting the surface burner hack, shake out
excess water and then dry it thoroughly by setting it in
a warm oven for 30 minutes. Then place it back in the
range, malcing sure it is properly seated and level.
Check the flame pattern of each burner. If the flames
are “jumpy” (not steady), clean the holes again with a
sewing needle or twist-tie.
Lift-Up Cooktop
(on models with standard twin burners)
Clean the area under the cooktop often. Built-up soil,
especially grease, may catch on fire.
To make cleaning easier, the cooktop may be lifted up.
To raise the cooktop:
1. Be sure the burners
are turned off.
2. Remove the grates.
3. Grasp the two front
burner wells and
lift up.
Some models have dual support rods that will hold the
cooktop up while you clean underneath it.
After cieanmg under the coolctop with hot, soapy
water and a dean doth, lower the cooktop. Be careful
not to pinch your fingers. Lower cooktop gently to
avoid blowing out pilot flames (on models with
standing pilots).
