CARE AND MAINTENANCE
BURNERS
For proper lighting and performance keep the burners
clean. It is necessary to clean the burners if they do
not light even though the igniter clicks, if there has
been a severe boil over, or when the flame does not
burn blue. Be certain all burner knobs are in the OFF
position before attempting to clean the burners. The
burners have been designed for ease in cleaning.
When the grates and burners are cool, remove the
grate. The burner cap and the brass port ring can
easily be lifted off. Wash these parts in hot soapy
water, rinse and dry thoroughly. The burner caps are
porcelain enamel, follow the directions on the
previous page that were given for the burner grates.
A bristle brush can be used to clean out the toothed
burner ports, if necessary. Disassembly of the simmer
ring is not recommended, however, it may become
necessary to do so if the ports remain clogged after
normal cleaning. If it is necessary to disassemble the
simmer ring from the base, remove the hex nut at the
top of the simmer ring. Clean the simmer ring with
hot soapy water using a soft wire or plastic bristle
brush then dry thoroughly. Re-assemble the parts
using the hex nut. After cleaning, it is important to
make sure the locating pin on the bottom side of the
simmer ring is properly aligned with the corresponding hole in the base and that the
two locating pins (see insert-Fig.15) in the bottom side of the brass port ring are
properly aligned with the locating notch and center holes on the top side of the
simmer ring (Fig. 15). Incorrect alignment will produce a potentially dangerous
flame and poor burner performance.
IGNITERS
Wipe with a rubbing alcohol dampened cotton swab. Be careful not to damage the
igniter (see Fig. 16).
SUMP AREA AROUND BURNERS AND IGNITERS
Remove grates. With a warm wet sponge, apply a soap that will
release grease (like Dawn). Clean up soiled area around the
sump.
FOR HARD TO CLEAN SOIL, USE THIS METHOD:
If residue is still left, make a paper collar around the burner and
igniter and tape it together (Fig. 17). Spray “Easy Off or SOS”
oven spray using the cool method on soiled area. Cover it with
a paper towel and leave it on the area at least 4 hours or
overnight (Fig. 18). With a warm moist sponge, remove the oven
spray and soil. Dry with a soft cloth.
DRIP TRAYS AND DRAIN TUBES
If you have a griddle or a grill there will be a tray liner located inside of the drip
tray (Fig. 19). The drip trays are made of stainless steel. The drip trays are on
rollers so they are easy to remove and replace.
