CARE AND CLEANING (cont’d)
CLEANING THE CONTOURED WELL AREAS,
BURNER CAPS, AND BURNER HEADS
The contoured well areas, burner caps and burner
heads should be routinely cleaned. Keeping the burner
ports clean will prevent improper ignition and an
uneven flame.
To clean the recessed and contoured areas of the cook-top:
• If a spill occurs on or in the recessed or contoured
areas, blot up spill with an absorbent cloth. Rinse with
a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.
To remove and replace the surface burner caps and
surface burner heads, remove in the following order:
1) Surface burner grates
2) Surface burner caps, and
3) Surface burner heads
• Reverse the procedure above to replace the surface
burner caps and surface burner heads.
•Use a soap-filled scouring pad or a mild abrasive
cleanser to clean the surface burner caps and surface
burner heads. The ports or slots around the burner head
must be routinely cleaned. If residue still remains in
these ports, use a small-gauge wire or needle to clean
the slots or holes.
• For proper flow of gas and ignition of the burner do
not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other
material to enter the gas orifice holder opening.
Always keep the surface burner cap and surface burner
head in place whenever a surface burner is in use.
