Cleaning The Burners
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 caps may
also be cleaned in your dishwasher.
Burner Heads
Wash the burner heads routinely, especially after bad
spillovers, which could clog the openings. Lift burners off
when cool. Use 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 powders to
clean the burner parts as these may clog the parts.
Never wash burner heads in your dishwasher as
dishwasher detergents will discolor your burners.
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.
For proper ignition, make sure the small hole in the notch
that fits over the electrode is kept open. A sewing needle
or wire twist-tie works well to unclog it
After cleaning
Before putting the burner caps, heads (on some models)
and oval head/cap assembly back, shake out excess
water and allow them to dry thoroughly.
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. Take care to not hit an electrode with anything
hard or it could be damaged.
Electrode
Tri-ring base
(on some models)
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. An electric
shock may result, which could cause you to
knock over hot cookware.
