Gas Surface Burners
Removing and Replacing the Gas
Surface Burners
Position and size of burners vary by model.
Grates and burner heads/caps can be removed for
care and cleaning.
• Take care when installing or removing the
grates, as the rough edges may cause scratches
on the surface of the cooktop.
CAUTION
• Make sure burner heads and caps are reinstalled
properly. They will be stable and rest flat when
correctly installed.
• When burner cap is properly set:
• When burner cap is not properly set:
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.
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.
• 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.
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.
Burner Grates
The range consists of three separate professional-
style grates. For maximum stability, these grates
should only be used when in their proper position.
The center grate can be rotated from front to back.
