BURNERS
For proper lighting and performance keep the burners
clean. It is necessary to clean the burners if they do not
light even though the igniter clicks, if there has been a
severe boil over, or when the flame does not 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 in 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 the previous page that were given for 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 insert) 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 Fig. 19.
IGNITERS
Wipe with a water dampened cotton swab. Be careful not
to damage the igniter. (See Fig. 20)
CONTROL KNOBS - COOKTOP AND OVEN
These are plastic and can be cleaned in hot, soapy water.
To remove the knobs from the control panel, grasp the
knob and pull straight towards you. Wash, do not soak.
Rinse and dry thoroughly. It is important to replace these
knobs on the correct gas valve on the control panel.
