CARE & CLEANING
• Do not use abrasive cleaners. They can scratch
porcelain.
• Do not clean burner caps in the dishwasher.
• Do not operate surface burners without burner caps
properly in place. Read important notes.
Cleaning surface burner heads
For proper gas fl ow it may be necessary to clean the
burner head and slots. To clean, fi rst use a clean DAMP
cloth to soak up any spills. Remove any food from
between the burner slots using a small nonabrasive brush
like a toothbrush and afterwards wipe up using a damp
cloth. For stubborn soils located in the slots, use a small-
gauge wire or needle to clean.
Any spill on or around the electrode must be carefully
cleaned. Take care not to hit the electrode with any thing
hard or it could be damaged.
To clean the burner head ignition ports
Each burner head has a small ignition port located as
shown. Should you experience ignition problems it may
be that this port hole is partially blocked with soil. With
the burner head in place, use a small wire gauge needle
or the end of a paper clip to clear the ignition port (See
to Fig. 1 and 2).
