Cleaning the Surface Burners

Cleaning the Burner Caps

Wash burner caps in hot, soapy water and rinse with 
clean water. You may scour with a plastic scouring pad 
to remove burned-on food particles. The round burner 
caps may also be cleaned in your dishwasher.

Cleaning the Burner Heads

Wash the burner heads routinely, especially after bad 
spillovers which could clog the burner openings. Lift 
burners off when cool. Wash with hot, soapy water. Rinse 
with clean water. For more stubborn stains, use a brush 
with plastic bristles.

NOTE:

 Do not use steel wool or scouring pads to clean 

the burner parts as these may clog the openings. Never 
wash burner heads in your dishwasher as dishwasher. 
Doing so may cause them to discolor.

The ports in the burner heads must be kept clean at all 
times for an even, unhampered flame.

Clogged or dirty burner ports or electrodes will not allow 
the burner to operate properly.

Replacing Surface Burners

Before replacing

cap assembly, shake out excess water and allow them to 
dry thoroughly.

Replace burner heads in the correct locations according 
to size. Ensure each cap is properly seated on the 
burner head, as pictured below.

CAUTION

 Do not operate the cooktop without 

all burner parts and grates in place.

Any spill on or around an electrode must be carefully 
cleaned. Avoid hitting the electrode with anything hard or 
it could be damaged.

The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed 
when the burner head is removed. When one 
burner is turned to LITE, all the burners spark. 
Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around 
any burner while another burner is on.
