Burner Caps and Heads
Wash burner caps and burner heads in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean running water. You may scour with a plastic scouring pad to remove burned- on food particles.
Use a sewing needle or twist tie to unclog the small holes in the burner head, if required.
To remove
If the spill went inside the burner head assembly (right front burner on models JGP945 and JGP975), wash it under running water. Shake to remove any excess water. Air dry and make sure the small ignitor holes are open.
NOTE: Do not wash any burner parts in a dishwasher.

Electrodes
The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed beyond the surface of the burner base. When cleaning the cooktop, be careful not to snag the electrode of the spark igniter with your cleaning cloth. Damage to the igniter could occur.
Be careful not to push in any cooktop controls while cleaning the cooktop. A slight electrical shock might result which could cause you to knock over hot cookware.
Make sure that the white ceramic electrodes in the cooktop are clear of soil and dry. Clean the metal part of the electrode with a soft cloth. For stubborn, hardened soil, clean the metal portion of the electrode with an emery board. Do not clean the white ceramic portion of the electrode with the emery board. It is acceptable to clean the white portion of the electrode with a soft cloth, but not with an emery board.
Before reassembling the surface burners, push down on each of the white ceramic electrodes to make sure they are pressed against the burner bases.
