CLEANING THE BURNERS:
For proper lighting and performance keep, the burners clean. It is necessary to clean the burners if
they do not light although the igniter clicks, whenever there has been a severe boil over or when the
flame doesn’t burn blue.
Be certain all burner knobs are in the
OFF
position before attempting to clean the burners.
The burners have been designed for ease of
cleaning. When the grates and burners are cool,
remove the grate. The Burner Cap and the Brass
Port Ring can easily be lifted off. Wash these parts
in hot soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. The
Burner Caps are porcelain enamel, follow the
directions on page 9 that were given to clean the
burner grates. A bristle brush can be used to clean
out the toothed burner ports, if necessary.
Disassembly of the Simmer Ring is not
recommended,
however,
it may become
necessary to do so if the ports remain clogged
after normal cleaning. If it is necessary to
disassemble the Simmer Ring from the Base,
remove the Hex Nut at the top of the Simmer
Ring. Clean the Simmer Ring with hot soapy water
using a soft wire or plastic bristle brush then dry thoroughly. Re-assemble the parts using the Hex Nut.
After cleaning, it is important to make sure the Locating Pin on the bottom side of the Simmer Ring is
properly aligned with the corresponding hole in the Base and that the Locating Pin (see insert) in the
bottom side of the Brass Port Ring is properly aligned with the Locating Notch on the top side of the
Simmer Ring. Incorrect alignment will produce a potentially dangerous flame and poor burner
performance. See the illustration above.
CLEANING THE IGNITERS:
Be certain all burner knobs are in the
OFF
position before attempting to clean the igniters. Gently
wipe with a water dampened cotton swab and be careful not to damage the igniter.
