Burner Caps and Heads

NOTE: Before removing the burner caps
and heads, remember their size and
location. Replace them in the same
location after cleaning.
Burner caps
Lift off when cool. Wash burner caps
in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean
water. You may scour with a plastic scouring
pad to remove burned-on food particles.
Burner heads
For proper ignition, make sure the small
hole in the section that fits over the electrode
is kept open. A sewing needle or wire twist-tie
works well to unclog it.
The slits in the burner heads must be kept
clean at all times for an even, unhampered
flame.
Clogged or dirty burner ports or electrodes will
not allow the burner to operate properly.
Any spill on or around an electrode must
be carefully cleaned. Take care to not hit
an electrode with anything hard or it could
be damaged.
You should clean the burner caps and
burner heads routinely, especially after bad
spillovers, which could clog the openings
in the burner heads. Lift off when cool.
To remove burned-on food, soak the burner
heads in a solution of mild liquid detergent
and hot water for 20–30 minutes. For more
stubborn stains, use a toothbrush.

After cleaning

Before putting the burner caps and heads
back, shake out excess water and then dry
them thoroughly by setting in a warm oven
for 30 minutes.
NOTE: Do not use steel wool or scouring
powders to clean the burners.
