Cleaning the Burner Caps
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. The round burner
caps may also be cleaned in your dishwasher.
Cleaning the Burner Heads
Wash the burner heads routinely, especially after bad
spillovers which could clog the burner openings. Lift
burners off when cool. Wash with hot, soapy water. Rinse
with clean water. For more stubborn stains, use a brush
with plastic bristles.
NOTE: Do not use steel wool or scouring pads to clean
the burner parts as these may clog the openings. Never
wash burner heads in your dishwasher as dishwasher.
Doing so may cause them to discolor.
The ports in the burner heads must be kept clean at all
times for an even, unhampered flame.
Clogged or dirty burner ports or electrodes will not allow
the burner to operate properly.
