Always clean the burner caps after a spill over. Keeping the burner caps
clean will prevent improper ignition and uneven flames. To clean, pull
burner cap straight up from the burner base. Wipe off surface burner
caps with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth after each use. Use a a
non-abrasive cleanser such as Bon Ami™ and a soft brush or soft Scotch
Brite™ pad for cooked-on foods. Dry thoroughly after cleaning. For best
cleaning and to avoid possible rusting, do not clean in dishwasher or
self-cleaning oven.

igniter and burner ports clean. It is necessary to clean these only when
the flame does not burn blue completely around all rings of the burner,
when there is a severe spillover or when the burner does not light, even
though the electric spark igniter sparks. Clean the burner by scraping off
burned on food soil. Use a wire, a straightened paper clip, or needle to
clean the ports.
