Surface Burners - KitchenAid KSGB900ESS Manual

Surface Burners

IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air around the burner grate edges.
Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a
surface burner. A clean burner cap will help avoid poor ignition
and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover
and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the
"General Cleaning" section in the Owner's Manual.
NOTE: Each round burner base is marked with a letter indicating
the burner size.
Alignment: Be sure to align the gas tube opening in the burner
base with the orifice holder on the cooktop and the igniter
electrode with the notch in the burner base.

Gas tube opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas tube
opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of soil
and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or any other
material to enter the gas tube opening. Keep spillovers out of the
gas tube opening by always using a burner cap.

Burner Ports: Check burner flames occasionally for proper size
and shape as shown in the previous illustration. A good flame is

allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or any other material to enter
the burner ports.
To Clean:
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and
the cooktop is cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach or rust
removers. Do not wash in the dishwasher.

according to "General Cleaning" section in the Owner's
Manual.
