Occasionally check the burner flames for
proper size and shape as shown. A good
flame is blue in color. If flames are uneven,
you may need to clean the burners.
To clean burners:
1. Pull the burner cap straight up from the
burner base.
2. Remove the trim ring (if equipped) and
burner pan.
3. Clean burner cap, trim ring, and burner
pan with warm, soapy water and a
sponge. You can also clean with a
nonabrasive scrubbing pad or cleanser.
Do not clean burner cap, trim ring, or
burner pan in dishwasher or self-cleaning
oven.
4. If the gas tube opening or the orifice,
located inside the opening, has become
soiled or clogged, use a cotton swab or a
soft cloth to clean the area.
5. If ports are clogged, clean with a
straight pin. Do not enlarge or distort
port. Do not use a wooden toothpick. If
adjustment is needed, call a qualified
technician for service.
6. After cleaning the gas tube opening and
ports, replace the burner pan, trim ring (if
equipped), and burner cap. (Burner pan
and trim ring must be replaced over
burner base before replacing burner cap.
Do not operate burners without burner
pan and trim ring in place.) To replace
burner cap, make sure cap is properly
aligned and leveled. Find the recessed
locating tabs on the burner cap (see
illustration) and place cap over the white
ignitor in the burner base.
7. Turn on the burner to determine if it will
light. If the burner does not light after
cleaning, contact an authorized
Whirlpool service technician. Do not
service the sealed burner yourself.
