To Remove and Replace the Surface Burner Caps & Surface Burner Heads - Remove in the following order: (1st) surface burner grate, (2nd) surface burner cap, (3rd) surface burner head and (4th) surface burner drip pan (if equipped).

Reverse the procedure above to replace the surface burner cap, surface burner head and surface burner drip pans (if equipped). Do not remove any parts from the cooktop until they have completely cooled and are safe to handle. Do not operate the surface burners without the surface burner cap and surface burner head properly in place.

To Clean the Surface Burner Cap, Surface Burner Head & Surface Burner Drip Pan (some models) - Use a soap-filled scouring pad or a mild abrasive cleanser to clean the surface burner caps, surface burner heads and surface burner drip pans (if equipped). The ports (or slots) around the burner head must be routinely cleaned. If residue still remains in these ports, use a small-gauge wire or needle to clean the slots or holes. For proper flow of gas and ignition of the burner--DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD, CLEANING AGENTS OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS ORIFICE HOLDER OPENING. ALWAYS keep the surface burner cap and surface burner head in place whenever a surface burner is in use.
