Cleaning the surface burners

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.

l 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 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.

l 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.

To clean burners:

1.Remove the burner grate.

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

3.Clean burner cap and burner grate with warm, soapy water and a sponge. You can also clean with a nonabrasive scrubbing pad or cleanser. Do not clean burner cap or burner grate in dishwasher or a self-cleaning oven.

4.If the gas tube opening has become soiled or clogged, use a cotton swab or a soft cloth to clean the area.

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.
