Care and Maintenance
BURNERS
For proper lighting and performance keep the burners clean. It is necessary to clean the burners if they do not light even though the igniter clicks, if there has been a severe boil over, or when the flame does not burn blue.
Be certain all burner knobs are in the OFF position before attempting to clean the burners.The burners have been designed for ease in cleaning.When the grates and burners are cool, remove the grate.The Burner Cap and the Brass Port Ring can easily be lifted off.Wash these parts in hot soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.The
Burner Caps are porcelain enamel, follow the directions on the previous page that were given for the burner grates. A bristle
brush can be used to clean out the toothed burner ports, if necessary.
Disassembly of the Simmer Ring is not recommended, however, it may become necessary to do so if the ports remain
clogged after normal cleaning. If it is necessary to disassemble the Simmer Ring from the Base, remove the Hex Nut at the
top of the Simmer Ring. Clean the Simmer Ring with hot soapy water using a soft
wire or plastic bristle brush then dry thoroughly.
the Hex Nut.
After cleaning, it is important to make sure
the Locating Pin on the bottom side of the Simmer Ring is properly aligned with the
corresponding hole in the Base and that
the Locating Pin (see insert) in the bottom side of the Brass Port Ring is properly
aligned with the Locating Notch on the top side of the Simmer Ring. Incorrect alignment will produce a potentially
dangerous flame and poor burner performance. See the illustration.
