Suggested Cleaners
• Nonabrasive cleaners: Hot water
and detergent, Fantastic®, For-
mula 409®. Rinse and dry imme-
diately.
• Mild abrasive cleaners: Bon Ami®
and Soft Scrub®.
• Abrasive cleaners for stubborn
stains: soap-filled steel wool pad.
• Carefully wipe with a cotton swab
dampened with water, ammonia
or Formula 409®.
• Gently scrape soil off with a tooth-
pick.
The appliance requires only regular cleaning for proper operation. No other main-
tenance is required. See "Care and Cleaning" above for detailed instructions.
• Make sure that the gas shut off valve is in the ON position and the gas
supply to the house is not shut off.
• Make sure the burner caps are properly positioned and the burner
ports are not clogged. Clear ports with a wire or straightened paper clip
if clogged.
• Make sure the igniters are clean and dry.
• Check the power supply. It should be properly grounded with the cor-
rect polarity. Make sure the unit is plugged in and the circuit breaker is
not tripped.
Important Reminders
• The grates are heavy; use care
when lifting. Place on a protected
surface.
• Blisters/ crazing/ chips are com-
mon due to the extreme tempera-
tures on grate fingers and rapid
temperature changes.
• Acidic and sugar-laden spills
deteriorate the enamel. Remove
soil immediately.
• Abrasive cleaners, used too vigor-
ously or too often can eventually
mar the enamel.
• Avoid excess water on the igniter.
A damp igniter will prevent burner
from lighting.
• Remove any lint that may remain
after cleaning.
