The contoured well areas, burner caps and burner heads should be routinely cleaned. Keeping the burner ports clean will prevent improper ignition and an uneven flame. Refer to the following section for instructions.

THE COOKTOP IS NOT REMOVABLE. Do not attempt to remove or lift the cooktop.

Use caution when replacing the burner cap so the electrode is not damaged. This may cause a delayed ignition or prevent the burner from igniting.
