Burners And Igniters - DCS RDT-305 Use And Care Manual

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
bURNERS
For proper lighting and performance keep the burn-
ers clean. It is necessary to clean the burners if they
do not light even though the igniter clicks, if there
has been a severe boil over, or when the flame does
not burn blue. Be certain all burner knobs are in the
oFF position before attempting to clean the burners.
The burners have been designed for ease in cleaning.
When the grates and burners are cool, remove the
grate. The burner cap and the brass port ring can eas-
ily be lifted off. Wash these parts in hot soapy water,
rinse and dry thoroughly. The burner caps are por-
celain enamel, follow the directions on the previous
page that were given for the burner grates. A bristle
brush can be used to clean out the toothed burner
ports, if necessary. disassembly of the simmer ring is
not recommended, however, it may become neces-
sary to do so if the ports remain clogged after normal
cleaning. If it is necessary to disassemble the simmer
ring from the base, remove the hex nut at the top of
the simmer ring. Clean the simmer ring with hot soapy
water using a soft wire or plastic bristle brush then dry
thoroughly. Re-assemble the parts using the hex nut.
After cleaning, it is important to make sure the locat-
ing pin on the bottom side of the simmer ring is prop-
erly aligned with the corresponding hole in the base
and that the two locating pins (see insert-Fig.15) in the bottom side of the brass port
ring are properly aligned with the locating notch and center holes on the top side of
the simmer ring (Fig. 15). Incorrect alignment will produce a potentially dangerous
flame and poor burner performance.
IGNITERS
Wipe with a rubbing alcohol dampened cotton swab. Be careful not to damage the
igniter (see Fig. 16).
SUMP AREA AROUND bURNERS AND IGNITERS
Remove grates. With a warm wet sponge, apply a soap that will release grease (like
dawn). Clean up soiled area around the sump.
FOR HARD TO CLEAN SOIL, USE THIS METHOD:
If residue is still left, make a paper collar around the burn-
and igniter and tape it together (Fig. 17). spray "Easy off
sos" oven spray using the cool method on soiled area. Cover
with a paper towel and leave it on the area at least 4 hours or
overnight (Fig. 18). With a warm moist sponge, remove the
oven spray and soil. dry with a soft cloth.
DRIP TRAyS AND DRAIN TUbES
If you have a griddle or a grill there will be a tray liner located inside of the drip tray
(Fig. 19). The drip trays are made of stainless steel. The drip trays are on rollers so
they are easy to remove and replace.
