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 fii off ports, are yellow, or are noisy when turned off, you may need to clean the burners. tf 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 qualiiied 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. If the burner does not light after cleaning, contact an authorized WhirlpooP service technician. Do not service the sealed burner yourself.
