Care and cleaning of the range.
Burner Caps and Heads
Before removing the burner caps and heads,
remember their size and location. Replace
them in the same location after cleaning.
NOTE: Do not use steel wool or scouring
powders to clean the burner parts.
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 and Oval (Center) Burner
Head/Cap Assembly
The burner heads and the oval burner
head/cap assembly are removable.
Simply lift them off the range for cleaning.
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.
Clean the burner heads routinely, especially
after bad spillovers, which could clog the
openings. 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, heads and
oval head/cap assembly back, shake out
excess water and then dry them thoroughly
by setting in a warm oven for 30 minutes.
Replacement
Burner Heads
Replace burner heads over the electrodes
on the cooktop, in the correct locations
according to their size. There is one small,
one medium, one large and one extra large
burner head.
Make sure the slot in the burner head is
positioned over the electrode.
Oval (Center) Burner Head/Cap
Assembly
Replace the oval (center) head/cap assembly
over the electrode on the cooktop.
Caps
Replace the matching size caps onto the
burner bases or heads.
Make sure that the heads and caps are
replaced in the correct locations.
The oval burner head/cap assembly
is removable. Simply lift it off the
range for cleaning. Use a sewing
needle or twist-tie to unclog the
small hole in the burner heads.
