Burner Heads
The burner heads are removable.
Simply lift them off the cooktop for cleaning.
The slits in the burner heads must be kept clean at
all times for an even flame. Clogged or dirty
burner ports or electrodes may cause improper
operation of the cooktop.
Any spills on or around an electrode must be
carefully cleaned. Take care not to hit an electrode
with anything hard or it could be damaged.
Clean the burner caps and heads routinely,
especially after bad spillovers which could clog the
openings. Lift burner heads off when they are cool.
To get rid of 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.
CAUTION
• Do not hit the electrodes with anything hard.
Doing so could damage them.
• Do not use steel wool or scouring powders to
clean the burners.
• Do not scratch or gouge the port features of the
brass burner base.
• It is normal for brass burners to become
tarnished with use.
NOTE
• To clean the brass burner, use mild abrasive
cleaners or liquid cleaners.
• To clean port openings, use a stiff nylon bristle
toothbrush.
• Do not use steel wool or steel bristle brushes as
they can scratch the brass burner surface.
• A burner will not light if the cap is removed.
After Cleaning
Before reassembling the burner caps and burner
heads, shake out excess water and then dry them
thoroughly.
Replacement
Replace burner heads and caps over the
electrodes on the cooktop, in the correct locations
according to their size. There are one small, two
medium, one large and one extra large burner
head and cap.

Burner Grates
The cooktop has three professional-style grates.
These grates are position-specific. For maximum
stability, these grates should only be used in their
proper position. Because of the varied burner
sizes, the side grates cannot be exchanged nor can
any of the grates be rotated front to back.
Cleaning
Lift grates off when they are cool.
Grates should be cleaned regularly and, of course,
after spills. Wash them in hot, soapy water and
rinse with clean water. When replacing the grates,
be sure they are positioned properly over the
burners.
The grates may be cleaned in a dishwasher.
Do not operate a burner for a long time without
cookware on the grate.
The finish on the grate may chip without cookware
to absorb the heat.
To remove burned-on food, place the grates in a
covered container.
