Care And Cleaning; Sealed Burner Assemblies - GE JGBP38 Use And Care & Installation Manual

Proper care and cleaning are important so your range will give you efficient
and satisfactory service. Follow these directions carefully in caring for it to
help assure safe and proper maintenance.
BE SURE ELECTRICAL POWER IS DISCONNECTED BEFORE
CLEANING ANY PART OF YOUR RANGE.
CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE BURNER WITHOUT ALL BURNER PARTS AND DRIP PANS
(IF SO EQUIPPED) IN PLACE.

Sealed Burner Assemblies

Turn all controls OFF before removing the
burner parts and drip pans (if so equipped).
The burner grates, caps, burner heads and drip
pans (if so equipped) can be lifted off, making them
easy to clean.
The electrode of
the spark igniter is
exposed when the
burner head is
removed. When one
burner is turned to LITE, all the burners spark.
Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around
any burner while another burner is on. An electric
shock may result, which could cause you to knock
over hot cookware.
Burner Caps
(on sealed burners only)
Lift off when cool. 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.
Dry them in a warm oven or with a
cloth—don't reassemble them wet.
Replace the burner caps.

Burner Heads
(on sealed burners only)
For proper ignition, make sure the small hole in
the section that fits over the electrode is kept open. A
sewing needle or wire twist-tie works well to unclog it.
The slits in the burner heads of your range must
be kept clean at all times for an even, unhampered
flame.
You should clean the surface burners routinely,
especially after bad spillovers, which could clog
these openings.
To remove burned-on food, soak the burner heads
in a solution of mild liquid detergent and hot water
for 20-30 minutes. For more stubborn stains, use a
toothbrush.
Before putting the burner head back, shake out
excess water and then dry it thoroughly by setting
it in a warm oven for 30 minutes.
Replace the burner caps. Make sure that caps are
replaced on the correct size burner. There is one
small, 2 medium and one large cap.
