Cleaning the Grates, Burner Caps, Spill
Trays and WOK Ring
The grates, burner caps and spill tray are coated with a
porcelain finish. For everyday cleaning, use a soft cloth or
non-abrasive pad with warm soapy water to clean all of the
porcelain parts.
If necessary, tough stains may be removed by applying
full-strength sprays such as Simple Green™, Ajax™ All-
Purpose Cleaner or Formula 409™. To minimize wear, use
the mildest cleaner needed to get the surface clean.
CAUTION
Do not clean the cooktop grates, burner parts or WOK
ring in a dishwasher. They will be damaged.
For extremely stubborn stains, you may use a mildly
abrasive cleaner or applicator, such as Soft Scrub™,
Bon Ami™, S.O.S.™ pads or other soap-filled steel wool
pads. Use these cleaners with extreme care and only on
occasion. Extensive use of these types of abrasives will
eventually damage the porcelain enamel.
Burner Rings and Burner heads
Check for any dirt or
grime in the burner ring
or on the burner cap.
Remove anything
stuck in the holes with
a straightened paper
clip, wire, or needle. Be
careful not to scratch
or damage the ring and
cap. Do not distort the
shape of the burner
ring holes.
Soak the burner rings in a warm solution of hand
dishwashing liquid and water. Rinse well with clean water.
Dry the burner ring thoroughly before placing it back on the
burner base. Wipe the burner heads clean with a soft cloth
or non-abrasive pad with warm soapy water.
Stubborn stains may be removed by applying a metal
polishing compound.
CAUTION
Do not clean the burner rings or heads in a
dishwasher. They will be damaged.

WARNING
Clean only the parts of the cooktop listed in this
manual. Clean them only in the manner specified.
To avoid dangerous fumes or damage to your
cooktop’s surfaces and accessories, use only the
types of cleaning solutions specified in this manual.
To avoid electrical shock or burns, turn off the burners
and make sure that all parts are cool before cleaning.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the cooktop.
Steam could penetrate the electrical components
and cause a short circuit. After cleaning the burners,
reassemble all of the burner parts before attempting
to operate the cooktop.
Always dry the cooktop parts completely before use.

ooktop
To keep the cooktop looking and operating its best, clean it
after every use. Also, quickly wipe up spills that occur while
cooking. Be careful not to touch any hot areas. Spills that
remain on hot burner parts will be very difficult to clean,
especially if allowed to burn on. Certain types of food,
such as tomatoes, citrus juices, vinegar, alcohol and milk
can damage the finishes if you allow them to stand for any
length of time.
IMPORTANT: The cooktop is exposed to extremely high
temperatures. The grates are put under a lot of stress when
hot utensils are placed on them. In addition, the cooktop
parts are occasionally exposed to acidy food spill-overs.
These severe operating conditions, cause the porcelain
enamel parts on your cooktop to undergo a change in
appearance over time. If you care for and clean these parts
carefully, you will slow down, but not eliminate, the aging
process.
Cooktop
Disassembly
When the cooktop is
cool, remove the grates
from the top of the
cooktop.
Lift the burner caps and
burner rings off of the
burners. Remove the
burner heads from the
crown burners.
