Operating Instructions

Sealed Burners

Clean burners with a damp cloth and warm soapy water.
A nonabrasive cleaner or pad may be used. Verify that
burner ports are not blocked.
Do not block the small slot above the ignitor. A blocked
slot results in poor burner ignition. Replace burner caps
correctly.
Dry all burner components to prevent rusting. Allow
ignitors to dry before lighting burners.

Open Head Burners

Open head burners can be removed for cleaning.
Maintop and burners must be cool before cleaning.
1. Remove grates. Lift or remove maintop.
2. Grasp burners at burner head. Lift upward and away.
Open head burners may fail to perform properly if ports
are clogged or plugged. Use warm water and soap to
clean. Soaking loosens burned on materials. Clear
clogged burner holes with a thin wire. Do not use
toothpicks to clean burner holes.
Burners must be completely dry before being used
again. Water logged burner parts might cause uneven
heating or interfere with automatic lighting.
