Cleaning the burner caps
Should you ever need to remove the burner caps for cleaning, lift the burner cap off the burner head. Clean heavy
soils with an absorbent cloth. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and immediately thoroughly dry including the bottom and
inside of the cap. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners. They can scratch the porcelain on the cap. Do not clean burner
caps in dishwasher.
iMPORTAnT - When placing the burner caps on the cooktop, be sure the burner caps are seated firmly on top of
burner heads. Improper flame size and uneven heating may result when any surface burners are turned ON and the
burner caps are not seated correctly
Cleaning the burner heads
Lift the burner cap from the burner head. The surface burner heads are
secured to the cooktop and must be cleaned in place (except for the
bridge burner, which is removable. See bridge burner assembly section
for proper installation).
For proper gas flow it may be necessary to clean the burner heads
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 using a damp
cloth. For stubborn soils located in the slots, use a small-gauge wire or
needle to clean.
Should you experience ignition problems it may be that an ignition port
hole is partially blocked with soil (see figures 1 & 2). With the burner
head in place, use a small wire gauge needle or the end of a paper clip
to clear the ignition port or ports.
