Care and Cleaning (continued)
Burner Heads:
(on sealed burners only)
The holes in the burners of your range,
and the spark electrodes, must be kept
clean at all times for proper ignition and
an even, unhampered flame,,
You should clean the burner heads routinely,
especially after bad spillovers, which could clog these
holes. Wipe off burner heads. If heavy spillover
occurs, remove burner heads from range.
Remove the burner grate and burner cap.. Then lift the
burner head straight up.
To remove burned-on food, soak the burner head in
a solution of mild liquid detergent and water. Soak the
burner head upside-down for 20 to 30 minutes in a
solution of hot water and mild liquid detergent. If the
food doesn't rinse off completely, scrub it with soap
and water and a soft brush or plastic scouring pad.
For more stubborn stains, use a cleanser like Soft
Scrub _ brand or Bon AmP brand. Rinse well to
remove any traces of the cleanser that might clog the
burner openings.. Do not use steel wool because it will
clog the burner openings and scratch the burners, if
the holes become clogged, clean them with a
toothpick.
Before putting the burner head back, shake out
excess water and dry it thoroughly by setting it in a
warm oven for 30 minutes. Then place it back in the
range, making sure the pin in the burner base goes in
the hole in the burner head, and that the burner heads
are properly seated and level.
