Sealed Surface Burners

IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air around the burner grate edges.

Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the oven and cooktop are cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach or rust removers.

Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a surface burner. A clean burner cap will help prevent poor ignition and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the “General Cleaning” section.

To Clean:

1.Remove the burner cap from the burner base and clean according to “General Cleaning” section.

2.Clean the gas tube opening with a damp cloth.

3.Clean clogged burner ports with a straight pin as shown. Do not enlarge or distort the port. Do not use a wooden toothpick. If the burner needs to be adjusted, contact a trained repair specialist.

Simmer Plate

The Simmer Plate is made of aluminum to evenly spread the heat over the bottom of cookware. It can be used on the large surface burners.

For best results, use the Simmer plate with burner settings in the medium to low range on the cooktop when lower temperatures are needed for simmering, or for maintaining food at a low temperature over an extended period of time.

Channels on the bottom of the Simmer Plate have been designed so it fits properly and securely over the grate (as shown).

See “Assistance or Service” section to order extra Simmer Plates.
