Care and Cleaning
CLEANING BURNER RINGS
The brass burner rings spread the flame evenly around the burner perimeters. The
burner rings must seat properly 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.
