When removing the burner head/s, the ignitor wire must be disconnected and secured in
some fashion, paper clip, tape, etc., to keep it from falling through the access hole in the
main top. Never immerse the ignitor in water. This can cause ignition problems. Clean
the burner head with a non-abrasive soap filled scouring pad, rinse thoroughly and dry
completely before reassembling. Burner heads can be dried in the oven at about 350
degrees Fahrenheit or in the dishwasher on the dry cycle. If there is a need to remove the
main top, remove the four (4) attachment screws shown on page 13. After adjustment or
cleaning, replace all parts to their original position. Care should be taken when connecting
the ignitor wire as the ceramic ignitor base could be damaged. See page 13 for
instructions.
The porcelain finish top can be cleaned with detergent and warm water. A mild glass wax
can be used to shine the top.
Range tops finished in brushed chrome should be wiped clean of spatters or soiling
after each use. Clean with a paper towel or a damp cloth. For heavy spatters, use a
mild detergent and water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
A light coat of oil or thin cooking oil should be applied periodically to the chrome
top surface and underside. This will help prevent moisture from penetrating the
chrome surface.
Products of combustion from the top pilots as well as certain atmospheric
conditions can create an oxidation reaction on the underside of the top. This will
appear as rust or in the form of a reddish brown deposit. This will NOT AFFECT
THE LIFE OF THE TOP in comparison to the general life expectancy of the range
itself.
The grate and main top should be removed to gain access to the surface burners.
Remove the burner and let it soak in hot sudsy water. Most stains will then wipe off;
if not, scrub with a strong but non-abrasive cleaning pad. Rinse the burner
thoroughly.
It is very important that the burner be dry before replacing it in the range. A wet
burner will not allow the gas to ignite properly. This could result in a build-up of gas
which could result in an explosion or fire.
