Removable Cooktop Burners

Removable Cooktop Burners

The cooktop burners on your range may be removed for cleaning. Be sure all cooktop knobs are turned to OFF and the burners are cool, then remove or raise the cooktop.

If the shipping screws were not removed from the burner when the range was installed, do so now. See the Installation Instructions.

To remove the burners:

1.Grasp the burner head and tilt it to the right to release the 2 tabs from the burner support (A in Fig. A).

2.Lift the end of the burner assembly, then pull away from the front of the range to free the air shutter from the gas valve orifice (Fig. B). Check the lighter and burner ports. If they are clogged, use a small safety pin or a small sewing needle to clear them.

Be careful not to disturb the air shutter setting while cleaning. If you need to readjust the air shutter, see the Installation Instructions.

To replace the burners:

1.Slip the air shutter over the gas valve orifice (Fig. A).

2.Lower the burner assembly and hook the tab in the slots in the burner support (Fig. A).

3.Be sure both tabs are in their slots, that the burner sits level and straight and that the flash tube forms a straight line from the igniter to the burner (Fig. B).

Care and Cleaning

Control Panel and Knobs

It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use of the oven. Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control panel—they will damage the finish. A 50/50 solution of vinegar and hot water works well.

The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning.

Before removing the knobs for cleaning, please note that the knobs on the left side and the knobs on the right side are in the proper OFF position. When replacing the knobs, check the OFF position to insure proper placement.

To remove the knob, pull it straight off the spring clip. If it is difficult to remove, place a thin cloth (like a handkerchief) or a piece of string under and around the knob edge and pull up.

Wash the knobs in soap and water or a vinegar and hot water solution but do not soak.

To replace the knobs, match the “D” shaft on the stem. Inspect the core of the knob to insure that the metal insert is in place. Do not force the knob.
