Maintenance Tips
-
Wipe spills as soon as 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 keep flame even.
-
Ensure burner caps are seated correctly after cleaning for proper ignition and heat distribution.
-
Let ignition parts dry fully before use to prevent mis‑firing or repeated clicking.
-
Use a soft cloth and mild detergent on enamel surfaces; avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners.
-
For stainless or metal trim, wipe along the grain and use a stainless‑safe polish occasionally.

Check that flames burn steady and blue; yellow tips can signal clogged ports or airflow issues.
