Maintenance Tips
-
Wipe up spills once cool to prevent baked‑on stains and corrosion.
-
Clean burner grates, caps, and drip trays weekly with warm, soapy water; dry thoroughly.
-
Clear burner ports gently with a straight pin without enlarging holes for optimal flame.
-
Ensure burner caps are seated correctly for even heat and reliable ignition.
-
Allow igniters and components to dry fully after cleaning to avoid mis‑firing.
-
Use a soft cloth and mild detergent on gray enamel surfaces; avoid abrasives.
-
For stainless trim, wipe along the grain and use stainless‑safe polish occasionally.
-
Monitor flame color (steady blue = efficient combustion); yellow tips may signal clogging.
-
Check gas connections periodically and schedule annual pro servicing.
-
Always clean with burners off and the cooktop completely cooled.
