About Burner Caps and Heads
Wash the caps and heads in hot, soapy water, then rinse them under the tap. You may scour with a
plastic scouring pad to remove burned-on residue. Use a sewing needle or twist tie to unclog the
small holes in the burner head, if needed. After cleaning, return all burner caps and heads to their
original positions.
CAUTION
Burner parts are not dishwasher safe. Do not use steel wool or scouring powders to clean them.
•
The brass parts will discolor. However, this will
not affect performance.
•
After cleaning, check that all burner ports are
unclogged.

You may swap the original burner caps
for porcelain caps.

To remove burnt-on grease, soak the cap in a
solution of 1 cup water and either 1 tbsp white
vinegar or lemon juice. Do not clean with a
metallic brush, which can damage the brass.
