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, Heads and Electrodes
Burner Caps
Lift off when cool. To clean the burner caps, wash in hot,
soapy water and rinse with clean water. You may scour
with a plastic scouring pad to remove burned-on food
particles.
Burner Heads
The slits in the burner heads of your cooktop 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. Lift off when cool.
To clean the burner heads, wash in hot, soapy water and
rinse with clean water.
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.
Use a small sewing needle or paper clip to remove any
clogs in the slits.
Electrodes
This small metal rod produces the spark and must be
kept clean and dry to properly ignite the gas.
To clean the electrodes, use a dry paper towel or
scrub pad.
After Cleaning
Before putting the burner caps and heads back, shake
out excess water and then dry them thoroughly by
setting in a warm oven for 30 minutes. Check to make
sure the electrodes remain seated down in burner head.
Replacement
The burner heads and burner bases are labeled A, B
and C to aid reassembly.
Replace the burner heads on the bases matching the
letters. Replace the caps on the heads. Make sure that
the caps and heads are replaced in the correct location.
There is one small (A), two medium (B) and one large
(C) head and cap. If the caps or heads are not replaced
in the correct locations, burners may not ignite or
perform properly.
After cleaning, make sure the notch in the burner head is positioned
toward the electrode. Rotate the burner head around the burner base
until it is level and securely seated.
NOTE: Before removing the burner caps and heads, remember their
size and location. Replace them in the same location after cleaning. The
burner heads and burner bases are labeled A, B and C to aid reassembly.
