Cleaning Inside
Remove the burner bowls and grates and lift off the burner knobs. Then unlock the main top by releasing the catches located in the burner bowl opening.

Top Burner Cleaning
Be sure the main top and burners are cool before removing them. Remove the main top as explained. Then remove the burners for cleaning. Be certain the 4 burner mounting screws are removed from the bracket at the burner head before attempting burner removal. If the shipping screws are still in place, they can be removed with a Phillips screwdriver. Grasp the burner at the burner head and lift upward with a slight movement away from the burner control dials.

Grasp the main top between the burner opening and lift upward. The outside of the unit can now be wiped clean (the burners can be lifted out for easier cleaning). As burner box interior is porcelain enamel, it should be treated accordingly. Allow to cool first, then wash with soapy water and a sponge. Wipe dry with a towel.

Maintop Cleaning
If the maintop of your appliance has a porcelain enamel finish, allow it to cool and then wash it with soapy water and a sponge. Do not use harsh abrasives since they may scratch or mar the finish. Stainless steel tops may be cleaned with available stainless steel cleaners, such as �Cameo Aluminum & Stainless Steel Cleaner®�. Be sure to rub in the same direction as the brushed grain finish of the top. Stubborn stains can be removed by using a nylon scouring pad, such as �Scotch Brite®� pad, and rubbing carefully in the same direction as the brushed grain finish of the maintop. Wiping the burners following each use will remove spillover deposits and grease splatters before these soils get a chance to harden on the surface. Burned on soil can be cleaned by soaking the burners in a warm water and dishwashing liquid detergent such as �Dove®� or �Lux®�. A dishcloth or non-abrasive pad (such as Dobie® pad) should be used to rub the burner caps before the soaking period. Be sure the burners are dry, as water lodged in the burner parts might cause an uneven flame or interfere with automatic lighting. If stains still remain after soaking you can soak any heavily-soiled burners in a solution of two tablespoons of �Dip-It®� per quart of water. Use a large pan and enough water so the cap and base part of the burner assembly can be completely immersed; bring water to a boil, remove vessel from burner, and add measured amount of �Dip-It®�. Immerse the burner in the hot solution and soak for 20 minutes, no longer. Be sure the liquid completely covers the cap and base portion of the assembly. After 20 minutes, remove burner, cool slightly and rinse thoroughly with cold water. Be sure hands are protected to prevent burns from hot water. Be sure all the solution is completely rinsed off both the inside and outside of the burner. If some stains still remain, rub with a �Dobie®� pad.
