Cleaning the surface burners

l The burner caps should be routinely removed and cleaned. Always clean burner caps after a spillover. Keeping the burner caps clean prevents improper ignition and an uneven flame.

lFor proper flow of gas and ignition of the burner, DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD,

CLEANING AGENTS OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS TUBE OPENING.

l Gas must flow freely through the small hole in the brass orifice for the burner to light properly. This area must be free of any soil and be kept protected from boilovers or spillovers. ALWAYS keep the burner caps in place whenever a surface burner is in use.

l 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.

To clean burners:

1.Pull the burner cap straight up from the burner base.

2.Remove the burner pan.

3.Clean burner cap and burner pan with warm, soapy water and a sponge. You can also clean with a nonabrasive scrubbing pad or cleanser. Do not clean burner cap or burner pan in dishwasher or self-cleaning oven.

4.If the gas tube opening or the orifice, located inside the opening, has become soiled or clogged, use a cotton swab or a soft cloth to clean the area.

5.If ports are clogged, clean with a straight pin. Do not enlarge or distort port. Do not use a wooden toothpick. If adjustment is needed, call a qualified technician for service.
