EALED SURFACE BURNERS AND COOKTOP
Cleaning the surface burners
•
You should routinely remove and clean the
burner cap. Always clean the burner cap after
a spillover. Keeping the burner cap clean pre-
vents improper ignition and an uneven flame.
•
For the proper flow of gas and ignition of the
burner, do not allow spills, food, cleaning
agents, or any other material to enter the
gas tube opening or burner ports.
•
Gas must flow freely through the gas tube
opening for the burner to light properly. You
must keep this area free of any soil and protect
it from boilovers or spillovers. Always keep the
burner cap in place whenever a surface burner
is in use.
•
Let the cooktop cool before cleaning.
•
Do not use oven cleaners, bleach, or rust
removers.
•
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air.
•
Be careful not to allow moisture to collect in the
burner control knob areas. Moisture can cause
the ignitor switches to fail.
