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

the burner caps, heads and oval head/

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.
