Maintenance Tips
-
Clean burners and grates daily: remove grates and burner caps, wash with warm soapy water, and dry thoroughly before reassembly.
-
Clear and inspect burner ports regularly with a wire or brush to maintain proper gas flow and stable flames.
-
Wipe stainless steel surfaces daily with mild detergent and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners or steel wool to protect the finish.
-
Empty and clean drip trays and grease pans after each use to prevent grease buildup and fire hazards.
-
Clean griddle or hot-top surfaces properly; if cast iron, lightly oil and season after washing to prevent rust.
-
Allow the range to cool before deep cleaning and dry all components thoroughly to avoid warping or corrosion.
-
Check control knobs, gas connections, and adjustable legs periodically for loose fittings or wear to ensure safe, stable operation.
-
Shut off the main gas valve if the unit will be idle for an extended period to prevent leaks.
