Cleaning surface burner heads

For proper gas flow it may be necessary to clean the burner head and slots. To clean, first use a clean DAMP cloth to soak up any spills. Remove any food from between the burner slots using a small nonabrasive brush like a toothbrush and afterwards wipe up using a damp cloth. For stubborn soils located in the slots, use a small-gaugewire or needle to clean.

Any spill on or around the electrode must be carefully cleaned. Take care not to hit the electrode with any thing hard or it could be damaged.

To clean the burner head ignition ports

Each burner head has a small ignition port located as shown. Should you experience ignition problems it may be that this port hole is partially blocked with soil. With the burner head in place, use a small wire gauge needle or the end of a paper clip to clear the ignition port (See to Fig. 1; round style shown - oval or Dual Ring burner on some models not shown).

Important notes:

•The surface burner heads are secured to the cooktop and must be cleaned in place on the cooktop.

•Always keep the surface burner caps in place whenever a surface burner is in use.

When replacing the burner caps, be sure the burner caps are seated firmly on top of the burner heads.

For proper flow of gas and ignition of burners DO NOT allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter the gas orifice port opening.
