Cleaning Burner Heads/Caps
For even and unhampered flame, the slits in the
burner heads must be kept clean at all times.The
burner heads and caps (and the oval burner head
and cap assembly) can be lifted off. Do not attempt to
remove the oval burner cap.
• Wash the burner caps in hot soapy water and rinse
with clean water. Run water through the oval burner
from the bottom stem to flush out debris.
• Use care when cleaning the cooktop. The pointed
metal ends on the electrodes could cause injury.
Hitting an electrode with a hard object may damage
it.
• To remove burnt-on food, soak the burner heads
in a solution of mild liquid detergent and hot water
for 20–30 minutes. For stubborn stains, use a
toothbrush or wire brush.
• The burners will not operate properly if the burner
ports or electrodes are clogged or dirty.
• Burner caps and heads should be cleaned routinely,
especially after excessive spillover.
• Burners will not light if the cap is removed.
CAUTIOn
• Do not hit the electrodes with anything hard.
Doing so could damage them.
• Do not use steel wool or scouring powders to
clean the burners.
• Do not scratch or gouge the port features of the
brass burner bases.
• It is normal for brass burners to become
tarnished with use.
nOTE
• To clean the brass burners, use mild abrasive
cleaners or liquid cleaners such as Kleen
King ® , BonAmi ® and Wright's
• To clean port openings, use a stiff, nylon bristle
tooth brush.
• Do not use steel wool or steel bristle brushes
as they can scratch the brass burner surface.
After Cleaning the Burner Heads/
Caps
Shake out any excess water and then let them dry
thoroughly. Placing the oval burner upside down will
allow the water to drain out more easily. Replace
the burner heads and caps over the electrodes on
the cooktop in the correct locations according to
their size. Make sure the hole in the burner head is
positioned over the electrode.
