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

Burner Heads (on some models) and Oval (Center) Burner Head/Cap Assembly

The burner heads and the oval burner head/cap assembly are removable. Simply lift them off the range for cleaning.

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.

Clean the burner heads routinely, especially after bad spillovers, which could clog the openings. 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.

Make sure the slot or hole (depending on model) in the burner head is positioned over the electrode.
