CARE AND CLEANING OF THE RANGE
BURNER CAPS AND HEADS
BURNER CAPS
Lift off when cool. Wash burner caps in hot, soapy
water and rinse with clean water. To remove burned
on food particles, you may scour with a plastic
scouring pad.
AFTER CLEANING
Before replacing the burner caps and burner heads
shake out excess water and then dry them
thoroughly.
REPLACEMENT
Replace burner heads and caps over the electrodes
on the cooktop, in the correct locations according to
their size.

properly seated.

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 even and unhampered flame,
the slits in the burner heads must be kept clean at all
times. 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 heads
routinely, especially after bad spillovers which could
clog the openings. Lift them off when they are cool.
If you want 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.
NOTES:
• DO NOT use steel wool or scouring powders to
clean the burners.
• Burners will not light if the cap is removed.
• DO NOT use bleach on product to clean.
