wil.l prevent improper ignition and an
uneven flame. To clean, use warm, soapy
water and a soft cloth.

soaking, follow these steps:

burner caps by pulling upward.

water.

of the burner, DO NOT ALLOW
SPILLS, FOOD, CLEANING
AGENTS OR ANY OTHER
MATERIAL TO ENTER THE
IGNITOR SLOT. If the slot becomes
soiled or clogged, use a cotton
swab or a soft cloth to clean the
area. If needed, use swab or cloth
with ammonia, white vinegar or
warm water. For cooked-on soil,
use a medium- to stiff-bristle tooth
brush. DO NOT USE HARD OR
SHARP OBJECTS TO CLEAN
IGNlTOR SLOT. DO NOT USE
CLEANING SOLUTIONS.
NOTE: Ignitor slot should remain
clean as long as burner cap is
seated properly on burner.
Occasionally check burner cap to
make sure it is level and covers
burner completely.
Gas must flow freely through the
ignitor slot for the burner to light
properly. This area must be free of
any soil and be kept protected from
boil-overs and spill-avers. ALWAYS
keep the burner caps in place
whenever a surface burner is in
use.

replace the burner cap and burner
