Burner Heads
(on sealed burners only)
The holes in the burners of your range, and the spark
electrodes, must be kept clean at all times for proper
ignition and an even, unhampered flame.
You should clean the burner heads routinely,
especially after bad spillovers, which could clog
these holes. Wipe off the burner heads. If heavy
spillover occurs, remove the burner heads from
the range.
Remove the burner grate and burner cap. Then lift the
burner head straight up.
To get rid of burned-on food, soak the burner head
upside-down in a solution of mild liquid detergent and
hot water. Soak the burner head for 20 to 30 minutes.
If the food doesn't rinse off completely, scrub it with
soap and water and a soft brush or plastic scouring pad.
For more stubborn stains, use a cleanser like Soft
Scrub ® brand or Bon Ami ® brand. Rinse well to
remove any traces of the cleanser that might clog the
burner openings. Do not use steel wool because it will
clog the burner openings and scratch the burners. If
the holes become clogged, clean them with a sewing
needle or twist tie.
Before putting the burner head back, shake out
excess water and dry it thoroughly by setting it in a
warm oven for 30 minutes. Then place it back in the
range, making sure the pin in the burner base goes in
the hole in the burner head, and that the burner heads
are properly seated and level.
CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE BURNER WITHOUT ALL BURNER PARTS AND DRIP PANS
(IF SO EQUIPPED) IN PLACE.

The holes in the surface burners of your range must
be kept clean at all times for proper ignition and an
even, unhampered flame.

the range. Burners lift out for cleaning. Lift up the
cooktop and then lift out the surface burners.

in a solution of mild liquid detergent and hot water.
Soak the surface burner for 20 to 30 minutes. For
more stubborn stains, use a cleanser like Soft Scrub ®
brand or Bon Ami ® brand. Rinse well to remove any
traces of the cleanser that might clog the surface
burner openings. Do not use steel wool because it will
clog the surface burner openings and scratch the
surface burners. If the holes become clogged, clean
them with a sewing needle or twist tie.
Before putting the surface burner back, shake out
excess water and then dry it thoroughly by setting it in
a warm oven for 30 minutes. Then place it back in the

ammonia to loosen the soil. Then scrub with a
soap-filled scouring pad if necessary.
CAUTION:
Do not clean the
drip pans in the
self-cleaning oven.
