Care and Cleaning

Gas Cooktop

Burner sub-assemblies

Slits

NOTE: Before removing the burner parts, remember their size and location. Replace them in the same location after cleaning for proper burner operation.

For proper ignition, make sure the small holes in the burner rings are kept open. A sewing needle or wire twist-tie works well to unclog them.

The slits in the burner heads of your cooktop must be kept clean at all times for an even, unhampered flame.

Holes

Use a sewing needle, twist-tie and/or toothbrush to unclog the small holes and slits in the burner heads and burner rings.

To aid reassembly, each brass Burner Head is marked with a clock face. Replace the Burner Head with the arrow pointing to the rear of the cooktop (12 o’clock position).

You should clean the surface burners routinely, especially after bad spillovers, which could clog these openings.

To remove burned-on food, soak the burner heads and rings in a solution of mild liquid detergent and hot water for 20–30 minutes. For more stubborn stains, use a toothbrush.

Clean the burner bases in place on the cooktop.

To remove the burner parts:

1.Lift off the burner cap and burner head.

2.Remove the burner ring locking nut using a 11⁄16″ socket wrench, crescent wrench or channel-lock pliers.

3.Lift off the burner ring. Do not remove the burner bases.

Before putting the burner parts back, shake out excess water and then dry them thoroughly by setting them in a warm oven for 30 minutes.

Replace the burner parts. Make sure that the rings, heads and caps are replaced in the correct location. There are four medium sets and one large set of rings, heads and caps.
