Remove surface burner cover. To remove cover, push in buttons on the sides while lifting the cover at the same time.

Wipe off surface burners, cover and burner pan with warm, soapy water and a sponge after each use. Use a plastic scrubbing pad for cooked-on foods.

If burner ports are clogged, clean with a straight pin. Do not enlarge or distort the ports. Do not use a toothpick to clean the ports.

Occasionally check the burner flames for proper size and shape as shown. A good flame is blue in color. If flames lift off ports, are yellow, or are noisy when turned off, you may need to clean the burners (see above or “Cleaning tips” on page 17) or call a qualified technician for adjustment,

Replace surface burner cover.
