Burner caps
and heads
Burner caps
Lift off when cool. 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.
Burner heads
The slits in the burner heads of your cooktop must be
kept clean at all times for an even, unhampered
flame.
You should clean the burner caps, burner
heads and burner bases routinely, especially
after bad spillovers, which could clog the
openings in the burner heads. Lift off when
cool.
To remove burned-on food, soak the burner
heads in a solution of mild liquid detergent
and hot water for 20–30 minutes. For more
stubborn stains, use a toothbrush.
After cleaning
Before putting the burner caps and heads
back, shake out excess water and then dry
them thoroughly by setting in a warm oven for
30 minutes.
Replacement
The burner heads and burner bases are labeled
B, C, D and H to aid reassembly.
Replace the burner heads on the bases
matching the letters. Replace the caps on the
heads. Make sure that the caps and heads are
replaced in the correct location. There are two
small (H), one medium (B), one large (C) and
one extra large (D) head and cap.
NOTE:
Before removing the burner caps and
heads, remember their size and location. Replace
them in the same location after cleaning. The
burner heads and burner bases are labeled B, C,
D and H to aid reassembly.
When replacing, make sure the locator pins in the burner head
are seated in the pin slots of the burner base. Rotate the burner
head around the burner base until it is level and securely seated.
