Cleaning the burner caps
Wash burner caps in hot, soapy water
and rinse with clean water. You may
scour with a plastic scouring pad to
remove burned-on food particles. The
round burner caps may also be cleaned
in your dishwasher.
Cleaning the burner heads
Wash the burner heads routinely,
especially after bad spillovers which
could clog the burner openings. Lift
burners off when cool. Wash with hot,
soapy water. Rinse with clean water.
For more stubborn stains, use a brush
with plastic bristles.
NOTE: Do not use steel wool or
scouring pads to clean the burner parts
as these may clog the openings. Never
wash burner heads in your dishwasher,
doing so may cause them to discolor.
The ports in the burner heads must be
kept clean at all times for an even,
unhampered flame.
Clogged or dirty burner ports or electro-
des will not allow the burner to opera-
te properly.
For proper ignition, make sure that the
small hole in the section that matches
the electrode stays clear. You can use a
sewing needle to unclog it.
Round hole in
burner must
be kept clear.
Replacing surface burners
Before replacing the burner caps,
heads and oval head/cap assembly,
shake out excess water and allow them
to dry thoroughly.
Replace burner heads in the correct
locations according to size. Ensure each
cap is properly seated on the burner
head, as pictured below.
