Cleaning Surface Burners - Amana AR03100 Series Owner's Manual

Cleaning Surface Burners

Clean surface burners frequently (every 6 months) to
ensure proper burner ignition. Cleaning is especially
important after large spills.
1. Wipe burners with cloth and mid detergent diluted in
warm water.
2. Insert straight pin into burner and ignition ports or
use toothbrush to clean away burnt on food.
• Front surface burner ignition ports are located on
back of front burners and can not be seen from front
of range.
• Do not use tooth picks or steel wool to clean burner
ports. Tooth picks and steel wool can break off and
clog ports.

Soaking Surface Burners
To remove burnt on food, soak surface burners in warm,
soapy water. Rinse after soaking and clean ports with
toothbrush or straight pin. Before replacing surface
burners, shake until all water is out of burner, and then
dry thoroughly. Check flame after reinstalling for correct
size and shape.
Water left in burners after cleaning can cause slow
ignition and poor flame shape. If necessary, place
burners in oven and set oven temperature knob to "WM".
After 20 minutes, burners should be dry. Using
potholders, remove the burners from the oven.
