For proper
gas flow it may be necessary

burner head and slots. To clean, first use a clean DAMP
cloth to soak up any spills. Remove any food from between
the burner slots using a small nonabrasive
brush like a

wipe up using a damp
cloth. For

soils located
in the slots, use a small-gauge
wire or
needle to clean.

cleaned. Take

not to hit the electrode
with
any
thing
hard
or it could
be damaged.

ports
Each burner head has a small ignition port located
as
shown. Should you experience
ignition problems
it may be
that this port hole is partially
blocked
with soil. With the
burner head in
place,
use
a small wire gauge
needle
or
the
end of a paper
clip to clear the ignition port (See to Fig. 1
and 2).
Important
notes:
° The surface
burner heads are secured to the cooktop

on top of the burner
heads.

flow of gas and ignition of burners DO NOT
allow spills, food, cleaning
agents or any other material
to enter the gas orifice
port opening.
