Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a surface burner. A clean burner cap will help avoid 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.
Gas opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter the gas opening. Keep spillovers out of the gas opening by always using a burner cap.

When using the grill, follow the guidelines below.
■Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on the edges to avoid curling.
■Allow space between food on the grill. Crowding food will result in uneven cooking.
■Use a metal spatula or tongs to turn food.
■Steaks, chops and hamburgers should be turned only once to avoid loss of juices.
■For even cooking, foods such as chicken quarters should be turned several times.
■To check for doneness of meats and poultry, use an instant read thermometer or make a small cut in the center of the food. This will avoid loss of juices.
