CARE AND CLEANING
(continued)
Gas Burner Assembly
The burner assemblies should be washed regularly
and after spillovers.
Turn all control knobs to the off (0) position before
removing burner parts and the drip pan.
CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE BURNER
WITHOUT ALL BURNER PARTS CORRECTLY
IN PLACE. The electrode of the spark igniter is
exposed when the burner cap is removed. Contact
with an exposed igniter while a burner is being
turned on will cause aslight electrical shock.
The burner grate, burner caps and burner support
rings can be Iifted off, making them easy to clean.
(The drip pan cannot be removed.) Wash burner parts
with an all-purpose, non-abrasive cleaner and warm
water. Soak stubborn soil. Dry the burner assemblies
with acloth-don’t reassemble them wet.
To reassemble: Place the burner support ring onto the
burner bowl first. Before replacing the burner cap,
first examine the four notches on its underside. One of
the notches, shaped differently from the other three,
includes an indexing key for the spark igniter—
this notch fits over the spark igniter. When replacing
the burner grate, make sure the bottom of the burner
orate fits securely into acorresponding ridge in the
arip pan.
Burner grates can be cleaned by hand or in aself-
cleaning oven. Althoughthe burnergrate is durable,it
will ~qaduallylose its shine, regardlessof the care you
takeof it. This is due to its exposure to the high
temperatureofthe gas flames.
To preserve the porcelain enamel finish as long as
possible, have apan on the grate before you turn on
the burner, and lower the flame when food reaches the
desired cooking temperature.
