Maintenance Tips
-
Wipe up spills and splatters after the range cools to prevent baked‑on residue and surface damage.
-
Clean burner grates, caps, and drip trays weekly using warm, soapy water; dry completely to avoid rust.
-
Gently clear burner ports with a straight pin (never enlarge holes) to maintain even flame distribution.
-
Reposition burner caps correctly after cleaning to ensure consistent ignition and heat.
-
Allow ignition parts to fully dry before use to prevent delayed or continuous clicking.
-
Use a soft cloth and mild detergent on bronze enamel surfaces; avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals.
-
For any stainless accents, wipe along the grain and use stainless‑safe cleaner occasionally.
-
Check that flames burn steady and blue; yellowing can indicate clogged ports or airflow issues.
-
Inspect gas fittings periodically and arrange professional servicing annually for safety and peak performance.
-
Always clean with burners OFF and the cooktop completely cool.
