Cleaning the surface burners

B/urner cap

Igfitor slot

l The burner caps should be routinely removed and cleaned. Always clean burner caps after a spillover. Keeping the burner caps clean prevents improper ignition and an uneven flame.

lFor proper flow of gas and ignition of the burner, DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD,

CLEANING AGENTS, OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS TUBE OPENING.

l Gas must flow freely through the ignitor slot for the burner to light properly. This area must be free of any soil and be kept protected from boilovers and spillovers. ALWAYS keep the burner caps in place whenever a surface burner is in use.

lgnitor slot should remain clean as long as burner cap is seated properly on burner. Occasionally check burner cap to make sure it is level and covers burner completely.

1.Remove the burner grate.

2.Pull the burner cap straight up from the burner base.

5.If ports are clogged, clean with a straight pin. Do not enlarge or distort port. Do not use a wooden toothpick. If adjustment is needed, call a qualified technician for service.

5.After cleaning the gas tube opening and ports, replace the burner cap and burner grate. To replace burner cap, make sure cap is property aligned and leveled.
