SURFACE BURNERS
Use proper pan size—avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat
bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough
to contain the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of
food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be

CARE AND CLEANING OF THE RANGE
BURNER HEADS
For proper ignition, make
sure the small hole in the
section that fits over the
electrode is kept open.
A sewing needle or wire
twist-tie works well to
unclog it.
The slits in the burner
heads must be kept clean
at all times for an even,
unhampered flame.
Clogged or dirty burner ports
or electrodes will not allow the burner to
operate properly.
Any spill on or around an electrode must be carefully
cleaned. Take care to not hit an electrode with
anything hard or it could be damaged.
You should clean the burner caps and heads
routinely, especially after bad spillovers which could
clog the openings. Lift off when cool.
To remove burned-on food, soak the burner heads in
a solution of mild liquid detergent and hot water for
20–30 minutes. For more stubborn stains, use a
toothbrush.
NOTES:
• Do not use steel wool or scouring powders to clean
the burners.
• Burners will not light if the cap is removed.

CARE AND CLEANING OF THE RANGE
BURNER GRATES
Your range has three professional-style
grates. These grates are position-specific.
For maximum stability, these grates should only
be used in their proper position; they cannot be
interchanged left to right or front to back.
Make sure the front portion of both grates
is in front. The middle grate has a bow in front.
Make sure the bowed portion is toward the
front of the range.
CLEANING
Lift out when cool. Grates should be washed
regularly and, of course, after spillovers. Wash Appearance may vary. The
grates may be cleaned in a
