Care and cleaning of the range.
Burner Caps and Heads (on sealed burners only)
Burner caps
Lift off when cool. Wash burner caps
in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean
water. You may scour with a plastic scouring
pad to remove burned-on food particles.
Burner heads
For proper ignition, make sure the
small hole in the section that fits over the
electrode is kept open. A sewing needle
or wire twist-tie works well to unclog it.
The slits in the burner heads must be kept clean
at all times for an even, unhampered flame.
Clogged or dirty burner ports or electrodes
will not allow the burner to operate properly.
Any spill on or around an electrode must
be carefully cleaned. Take care to not hit an
electrode with anything hard or it could
be damaged.
You should clean the burner caps and
burner heads routinely, especially after bad
spillovers, which could clog the openings
in the burner heads. Lift off when cool.
To remove burned-on food, soak the
burner heads in a solution of mild liquid
detergent and hot water for 20–30 minutes.
For more stubborn stains, use a toothbrush.
After cleaning
Before putting the burner caps and heads
back, shake out excess water and then dry
them thoroughly by setting in a warm oven
for 30 minutes.
NOTE: Do not use steel wool or scouring powders
to clean the burners.
Replacement
Replace burner heads over the electrodes
on the cooktop, in the correct locations
according to their size.
Make sure the slot in the burner head is
positioned over the electrode.
Replace the matching size caps onto the
heads. There is one small, two medium
and one large cap. Sizes are stamped into
the bottom of the caps.
Make sure that the heads and caps are
replaced in the correct locations.
NOTE: On some models, the burners are all the
same size and power.
NOTE: Before removing the burner caps
and heads, remember their size and location.
Replace them in the same location after
cleaning.
