Burner Caps and Heads
Before removing the burner caps and heads (on some
models), remember their size and location. Replace them
in the same location after cleaning.
NOTE:
Do not use steel wool or scouring powders to
clean the burner parts.
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 Bases
(on some models)
The round burner bases are not removable. Only the caps
may be removed for cleaning.
To clean the burner bases, use soapy water and
a plastic scouring pad. Wipe clean with a damp
cloth.
Make sure that no water gets into the burner
bases. Allow them to dry fully before using.
Burner Heads
(on some models)
and Oval (Center)
Burner Head/Cap Assembly
The burner heads and the oval burner head/cap assembly
are removable. Simply lift them off the range for cleaning.
For proper ignition, make sure the small hole
in the section that fits over the electrode is kept
open. A sewing needle or wire twist-tie works
well to unclog it.
The slits 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.
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.
Clean the burner heads routinely, especially after
bad spillovers, which could clog the openings.
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, heads
(on some models) and oval head/cap assembly
back, shake out excess water and then dry them
thoroughly by setting in a warm oven for 30
minutes.
Replacement
Burner Heads
(on some models)
Replace burner heads over the electrodes on
the cooktop, in the correct locations according
to their size. There is one small, one medium,
one large and one extra large burner head.
Make sure the slot in the burner head is
positioned over the electrode.
Oval (Center) Burner Head/Cap Assembly

twist-tie to unclog the small hole in
the burner heads.
