Surface Burners; Surface Grates With Locater Pin - KitchenAid KGCV566 Use & Care Manual

IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air around the burner grate edges.
Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the oven and
cooktop are cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach or rust
removers.
Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a
surface burner. A clean burner cap will help prevent 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.
Clean clogged burner ports with a straight pin as shown. Do
not enlarge or distort the port. Do not use a wooden
toothpick. If the burner needs to be adjusted, contact a
trained repair specialist.
Replace the burner cap, making sure the alignment pins on
the cap are properly aligned with 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. Protect it from spill overs
by always using a burner cap.

Surface Grates
The grates located on the left and right side of the cooktop
contain grooves. These grooves must always face inward toward
the control knob panel to hold the grates in place. On some
models, the middle grate must be placed in position first,
followed by the left and right grates.
