I had a spill on my cooktop. What do I do?

Burner Grates:

  1. Remove and place on a flat surface near the sink. Do not immerse cast‑iron grates in water for cleaning or rinsing.
  2. Clean with hot water and mild detergent or a baking‑soda paste.
  3. Use a small nylon brush.
  4. Towel dry.

Burner Pan:

  1. Remove loose debris first to avoid scratching.
  2. Clean with mild abrasive cleaners or spray degreasers.
  3. Rinse and dry immediately to avoid streaking.
  4. For hard‑water stains, use white vinegar and water.

Surface Burners:

  1. Allow to cool.
  2. Clean with mild detergent or spray degreaser and a nylon brush.
  3. Rinse and towel dry.
  4. Inspect burner ports to ensure they’re free of debris, soap, fibers, or water. Do not insert anything into the ports. Compressed air, like a keyboard cleaner, can be used.
  5. Make sure the burner is seated correctly — improper seating causes delayed or failed ignition.
  6. If your gas burner keeps clicking after cleaning or from a spill over. Turn off the power for 24 hours to allow moisture to fully dry.

Burner Caps:

  1. Clean with hot water, mild detergent, or a baking‑soda paste.
  2. Use a nylon brush.
