Cleaning the surface burners
l The burner caps should be routinely
removed and cleaned. Always clean
burner caps after a spillover. Keeping the
burner caps clean prevents improper
ignition and an uneven flame.
l For proper flow of gas and ignition of the
burner, DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD,
CLEANING AGENTS, OR ANY OTHER
MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS TUBE
OPENING.
l Gas must flow freely through the small
hole in the brass orifice for the burner to
light properly. This area must be free of
any soil and be kept protected from
boilovers or spillovers. ALWAYS keep the
burner caps in place whenever a surface
burner is in use.
l Occasionally check the burner flames for
proper size and shape as shown. A good
flame is blue in color. If flames are uneven,
you may need to clean the burners.
To clean burners:
1. Pull the burner cap straight up from the
burner base.
2. Remove the trim ring.
3. Clean burner cap and trim ring with
warm, soapy water and a sponge. You
can also clean with a nonabrasive
scrubbing pad or cleanser. Do not clean
burner cap or trim ring in dishwasher or
self-cleaning oven.
4. If the gas tube opening or the orifice,
located inside the opening, has become
soiled or clogged, use a cotton swab or a
soft cloth to clean the area.
5. If
ports
are clogged, clean with a
straight pin. Do not enlarge or distort
port. Do not use a wooden toothpick. If
adjustment is needed, call a qualified
technician for service.
