Slot

Electrode

Make sure the slot in the burner head is positioned over the electrode. Use a sewing needle or twist-tie to unclog the small hole in the burner head.

Burner Caps and Heads

Burner caps

Lift off when cool. Wash burner caps in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. You may scour with a plastic scouring pad to remove burned-on food particles.

Center griddle burner

For proper ignition, make sure the small hole in the section that fits over the electrode is kept open. A sewing needle or wire twist-tie works well to unclog it.

The slits in the burner heads must be kept clean at all times for an even, unhampered flame.

Clogged or dirty burner ports or electrodes will not allow the burner to operate properly.

Any spill on or around an electrode must be carefully cleaned. Take care to not hit an electrode with anything hard or it could be damaged.

You should clean the burner caps and burner heads routinely, especially after bad spillovers, which could clog the openings in the burner heads. Lift off when cool.

To remove burned-on food, soak the burner heads in a solution of mild liquid detergent and hot water for 20–30 minutes. For more stubborn stains, use a toothbrush.

NOTE: Do not use steel wool or scouring powders to clean the burners.

After cleaning

Before putting the burner caps and heads back, shake out excess water and then dry them thoroughly by setting in a warm oven for 30 minutes.

Round burner bases

The round burner bases are not removable. Only the caps may be removed for cleaning.

To clean the burner bases, use soapy water and a plastic scouring pad. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Make sure no water gets into the burner bases. Allow them to fully dry before using.

Replacement

Replace the burner caps. Make sure that the caps are replaced in the correct location. There is one oval (center) cap assembly. There is one small, one medium, one large and one extra large burner cap.
