Burner assembly

The burner assemblies should be washed regularly and, of course, after spillovers.

Turn all the controls to OFF before removing the burner parts.

The electrode of the spark ignitor is exposed beyond the top of the burner. When cleaning the burner tray, be careful not to snag the electrode of the spark ignitor with your cleaning cloth. Do not hit the spark ignitor. Be careful not to turn on any surface controls while cleaning the burner tray. A slight electrical shock might result which could cause you to knock over hot cookware.

The burner grates and burner caps can be lifted off, making them easy to clean. Removing them gives you access to the burner bases.

To avoid snagging cloth on spark ignitors, leave burner caps in place when cleaning the burner tray.

The burners have been designed in two pieces for ease of cleaning. When the burner grate and the burner are cool, remove the grate. The burner caps can easily be lifted off. Wash these parts in hot soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.

A bristle brush can be used to clean out the burner ports, if necessary.

The burner grates are porcelain enamel. When cool they may be wiped clean using hot, soapy water, then rinsed and wiped dry. When lifting the burner grates, be careful as they are heavy.

Place them on a protected surface, so they won’t scratch the surface of the cooktop.

CAUTION:

Do not operate the burner without all burner parts in place.

After cleaning, it is important to make sure the indentation on the bottom side of the outer cap/burner port is properly aligned with the corresponding locating pin in the burner base. Incorrect alignment will produce poor burner performance.
