CARE AND CLEANING
(continued)
Range Top Burners
The holes in the burners must be kept clean at
all
times for proper ignition and an even,
unhampered flame.
You should clean the burners routinely, especially
after bad spillovers which
could
clog these holes.
Burners lift out for cleaning if the shipping screw was
removed at installation.
NOTE: A screw holds each of the burners in place to
keep them from wobbling around during shipment.
Remove and discard the shipping screw.
To remove burners:
1. Grasp burner head and tilt it to the right to release
the two tabs from slots in the burner support.
2. Lift the end of the burner assembly, then pull away
from the front of the range to free the air shutter
from the gas valve orifice.
To remove burned-on food, soak the burners in a
solution of mild liquid detergent and water. Soak the
burners for
20
to
30
minutes. If the food doesn’t rinse
off completely, scrub them with soap and water and a
brush or plastic pad. Do not use steel wool or abrasive
cleansers because they will clog the burner openings
and scratch the burners. If the holes become clogged,
clean them with a small sewing needle or a small
safety pin.
Do not attempt to clean burners in an automatic
dishwasher. Loosened food soil can clog burner
holes, and the strong action of the dishwasher
detergent can damage the burner heads. Do not clean
in self-cleaning oven.
Before putting the burners back, shake out excess
water and dry them thoroughly by setting them in a
warm oven for
30
minutes.

To replace burners:
1. Slip the air shutter
over the gas valve orifice.
2. Lower the burner assembly and hook the tabs in the
slots in the burner support.
3. Be sure both tabs are in their slots, that the burner
sits level and straight, and that the flash tube forms
a straight line from the igniter to the burner.
