Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no exception. Your range 

must be kept clean and maintained properly. Before cleaning, make sure all controls are in the “OFF” position. Disconnect power if you are going 

to clean thoroughly with water.

Wipe up spill-overs as soon as possible after they occur and before they get a chance to burn in and cook solid. 

In the event of a spill-over, follow these steps:

•  Allow the burner and grate to cool to a safe temperature level.

•   Lift off  the burner grate. Wash in warm soapy water.

•   Remove the burner head and clean.

After cooking, always wipe down grates and burner caps with a damp sponge and dry thoroughly.  Normal cleaning can be done with hot, soapy 

water and/or Soft Scrub cleanser (without bleach) with a blue Scotch-Brite pad.  

When cleaning grates, make sure to thoroughly dry them, especially underneath.  If the 

bottom portion does not totally dry before setting them back on the cooking surface, 

they may rust.  You can also set the grates on top of the burner and turn the burner on 

high for ten to fi fteen seconds for extra drying.  To prevent rusting and discoloration, 

do not submerge grates in water soak for any length of time or run them through the 

dishwasher.  If rust does occur, Bar Keeper’s Friend and a blue Scotch-Brite pad will 

remove it.  To condition grates, apply a light coating of mineral oil or vegetable oil.  Allow 

oil to soak in 15 minutes before returnng to cooking surface.

Base

If ports on burner head are clogged, clean with a straight pin.  DO NOT enlarge or distort 
the ports.  DO NOT use a toothpick to clean the ports. 

The base should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water at the end of each cooling period. DO NOT use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleanser, 
or powders. To remove encrusted materials, soak the area with a hot towel to loosen the material, then use a wooden or nylon spatula.  DO NOT 
use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape the base.

•Wipe up any spills which remain on the sealed top surface.

•Replace burner head, and grates after drying thoroughly.

 Make sure all controls are 
OFF and oven is COOL 
before cleaning. Failure to 
do so can result in burns or 
electrical shock
