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.
Electrode
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 Heads
(on sealed burners only)
NOTE: Before removing the burner heads and
caps, remember their size and location. Replace
them in the same location after cleaning.
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.
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.
(on some models)
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 heads and caps. Make
sure that the heads and caps are replaced
in the correct location. There is one small,
2 medium and one large head and cap.
NOTE: On some models there are 2 large,
one medium and one small head and cap.
Make sure that caps are replaced on the
correct size burner. There is one small,
2 medium and one large cap.
NOTE: On some models there are 2 large, one
medium and one small head and cap.
