Burners And Igniters - DCS RGT-364GD Use And Care Manual

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
BURNERS
For proper lighting and performance keep the
burners 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 easily be lifted off. Wash these parts in hot
soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. The burner
caps are porcelain 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 necessary 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 locating pin on the
bottom side of the simmer ring is properly 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. Incorrect alignment will produce a potentially
dangerous flame and poor burner performance (see Fig. 15).
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 burner
and igniter and tape it together (Fig. 17). Spray "Easy Off" or
"SOS" oven spray using the cool method on soiled area. Cover
it 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.
