Clean Spills Immediately – Wipe food and liquid spills from the porcelainized cooking surface right after use with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent to prevent stubborn residue. The raised edges help contain spills for easier cleanup.

Remove & Wash Burner Caps – Lift sealed burner caps and clean separately with warm, soapy water; check and clear clogged ports with a soft tool to ensure even flame and performance.
-
Avoid Abrasives on Stainless – Use gentle cleaners and microfiber cloths on the stainless steel surface and knobs; avoid steel wool or harsh chemicals that can scratch or dull the finish.

Dry Thoroughly After Cleaning – Dry grates, burner parts, and stainless surfaces fully to help prevent water spots or rust formation.

Clean Cast‑Iron Grates Regularly – Remove the heavy‑duty cast‑iron surface grates and wash with non‑abrasive pads; dry them completely before reinstallation.
-
Check Ignition Tips – Ensure SureSpark ignition tips are clean and free of grease to maintain reliable burner ignition.

Inspect Gas Connections – Periodically check for secure gas line fittings and seek professional service if you notice irregular flame behavior or gas smell.
