Cleaning the burners

The burner caps should be routinely removed

and cleaned. Always clean the burner caps after a spillover. Keeping the burner caps clean will prevent improper ignition and an uneven flame.

To clean, pull the burner cap straight up from the burner base. Remove the trim ring (if equipped) and burner pan. (Burner pan and trim ring must be replaced over burner base before replacing burner cap. Do not operate burners without burner pan and trim ring in place.) Clean burner cap, trim ring and burner pan with warm, soapy water and a sponge. You can also clean with a nonabrasive scrubbing pad or cleanser. Do not clean burner cap, trim ring or burner pan in a dishwasher or self-cleaning oven.

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 TUBE OPEN- ING. If the opening or the orifice, located inside the opening, becomes soiled or clogged, use a cotton swab or a paper towel to clean the area.

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

After cleaning the gas tube opening,

replace the burner cap, trim ring and burner pan. Occasionally check the burner flames for

proper size and shape as shown. A good flame is blue in color. If flames lift off ports, are yellow, or are noisy when turned off, you may need to clean the burners. ff ports are clogged, clean with a straight pin. Do not enlarge or distort port. Do not use a wooden toothpick. lf adjustment is needed, call a qualified technician for service.

To replace burner cap, make sure cap is properly aligned and leveled. Find the recessed locating tabs on the burner cap (see illustration) and place cap over the white ignitor in the burner base.

Turn the burner on to determine if it will light. ff the burner does not light after cleaning, contact an authorized Whirlpool service techni- cian. Do not service the sealed burner yoursetf.
