to enter the gas orifice holder
opening.
Always keep the surface burner cap and
surface burner head in place whenever a surface
burner is in use.
The cooktop and surface burners are designed to make
cleaning easier.
Since cooktop surface burners are sealed,
cleanups are easy when spillovers are cleaned up
immediately.
Routinely clean the cooktop. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth
and wipe dry to avoid scratches.
Keeping the surface burner
head ports and slots clean will prevent improper
ignition and
an uneven flame. Refer to the following

Replacing oven light
To clean the burner head ignition ports
Each burner head (except powerplus
boil burner) has a
small ignition port located as illustrated. 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 Fig. 1 - center burner not shown).
To clean the surface burner heads
For proper gas flow it may be necessary to clean the burner
head and slots. To clean, first use a clean DAMP cloth to soak
up any spills. Remove any food from between the burner slots
using a small non-abrasive 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.
