CARE AND MAINTENANCE
9
CLEANING THE BURNERS:
For proper lighting and performance, keep the burners
clean and dry. It is necessary to clean the burners if they do
not light although the igniter clicks, whenever there has
been a severe boil over or when the flame doesn’t burn
blue.
Be certain all burner knobs are in the
OFF
position before
attempting to clean the burners. The burners have been
designed for ease of cleaning. When the grates and burners
are cool, remove the grate. The Burner Cap and the Brass
Port Ring can easily be lifted off. Wash these parts in hot
soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. The Burner Caps are
porcelain enamel, follow the directions on page 8 that were
given to clean the burner grates. A bristle brush can be
used to clean out the toothed burner ports, if necessary.
Disassembly of the Simmer Ring is not recommended,
however, it may become necessary to do so if the ports
remain clogged after normal cleaning. If it is necessary to
disassemble the Simmer Ring from the Base, remove the
Hex Nut at the top of the Simmer Ring. Clean the Simmer
Ring with hot soapy water using a soft wire or plastic
bristle brush then dry thoroughly. Re-assemble the parts
using the Hex Nut.
After cleaning, it is important to make sure the Locating Pin on the bottom side of the Simmer Ring is properly
aligned with the corresponding hole in the Base and that the Locating Pin (see above) in the bottom side of the
Brass Port Ring is properly aligned with the Locating Notch on the top side of the Simmer Ring. Incorrect
alignment will produce a potentially dangerous flame and poor burner performance. See the illustration above.
CLEANING THE IGNITERS:
Be certain all burner knobs are in the
OFF
position before attempting to clean the igniters. Gently wipe with an
alcohol dampened cotton swab and be careful not to damage the igniter.
