Burner Cap Alignment
Always keep the burner cap properly fitted 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.
Standard Burner
A
Gas tube opening
Gas must flow freely throughout the gas tube 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 tube opening. Keep spillovers out of the gas tube
opening by always using a burner cap.
Burner ports
Check burner flames occasionally for proper size and shape as
shown below. A good flame is blue in color, not yellow. Keep this
area free of soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or
any other material to enter the burner ports.

1. Remove the burner cap from the burner base and clean
according to "General Cleaning" section.
2. Clean the gas tube opening with a damp cloth.
3. Clean clogged burner ports with a straight pin as shown. Do
