Cleaning Burner Rings; Cleaning Burner Igniters - Electrolux E36DF76EPS Service Manual

CLEANING BURNER RINGS

The brass burner rings spread the flame evenly around
the burner perimeters. The burner rings must seat prop-
erly in the burner bases to enable proper cooktop
operation. To ensure proper seating, positioning tabs
have been placed on the bottom of each burner ring to
slide into corresponding notches in the fixed burner
base.
To remove the burner ring, first remove the grate, then
lift off the porcelain burner cap. The burner ring may
then be removed from the burner base. Soak the burner
ring in a warm solution of hand dishwashing liquid and
water, then rinse well with clean water. Dry the burner
thoroughly
Stubborn stains may be removed by applying a metal
polishing compound. (If you are unable to locate this
type of polishing compound, please phone the Electrolux
Customer Service Department for a referral.)
CLEANING THE BURNER IGNITERS
Under certain cooking or cleaning conditions, your
cooktop igniters may become coated with or corroded
by food deposits, splattered grease or cleaning agents.
This condition can cause erratic or continuous
sparking. Keeping the igniters clean and dry will help
to reduce this problem. To avoid unnecessary and costly
service calls, the homeowner should perform periodic
cleaning of the igniters.
To clean the igniters:
1. Be sure the burners are cool to the touch. Remove
the grate, burner cap and burner heads.
2. Clean completely around the igniter, including over
and under the edge of the metal cap and base. Use
care while cleaning here. Parts of the igniter are
porcelain and can be fragile.
3. DO NOT USE WATER when cleaning the igniters.
If a liquid must be used to clean the igniter
effectively, use only a small amount of rubbing
alcohol.
4. After cleaning, reinstall the burner ring, burner cap
and grate. Make sure the brass burner ring is
properly seated into the burner base.
5. Test the burners. If erratic clicking is still present,
make sure the igniter is completely dry.
If the unit still exhibits problems after drying, please
phone the Electrolux Customer Service Department for
further assistance.
