Maintenance Tips

• Wipe spills promptly once the cooktop is cool to prevent stains and baked‑on residue.

• Clean burner grates, caps, and drip trays weekly with warm, soapy water; dry completely to avoid rust.

• Gently clear burner ports with a straight pin (don’t enlarge holes) to maintain even flame distribution.

• Ensure burner caps are seated correctly after cleaning for consistent ignition and heat.

• Let ignition parts dry fully before use to prevent mis‑firing or prolonged clicking.

• Use a soft cloth and mild detergent on yellow enamel surfaces; avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.

• Wipe stainless or metal trim along the grain and use a stainless‑safe cleaner occasionally.

• Check that flames burn steady and blue; yellowing tips may indicate clogged ports or airflow issues.

• Inspect gas connections periodically and schedule professional service annually for safety and performance.

• Always clean with burners OFF and the cooktop completely cooled.
