Burner Caps and Heads
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 large, one small and
two medium caps.
Make sure that the heads and caps are
replaced in the correct locations.
NOTE: Before removing the burner caps
and heads, remember their size and
location. Replace them in the same location
after cleaning.
