GE XL44 JGBS09 Owner's Manual & Installation Instructions page 22

CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE BURNER WITHOUT ALL BURNER PARTS IN PLACE.
Burner Assemblies
Turn all controls OFF before removing the
burner parts.
The burner grates, caps and burner heads 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
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 side burner caps.

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.
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
oval (center) head and cap assembly and four
medium (side) heads and caps.
