When cleaning the cooktop area or around
the burner base, use care to prevent dam-
age to the ignitor. If a sponge should catch
the metal ignitor electrode, it could damage
or break the electrode. If the electrode is
damaged or broken, the surface burner will
not light. When cleaning the cooktop, leave
the burner cap in place to protect the
electrode from possible damage.
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
Occaslonally check the burner flames for
proper size and shape as shown. A good
flame is blue in color. If flames lift off ports,
are yellow, or are noisy when turned off,
you may need to clean the burners.
To clean burners:
1. Llft the burner cap straight up from the
burner base.
2. Clean burner cap with warm, soapy
water and a sponge. You can also clean
with a nonabrasive scrubbing pad or
cleanser. Do not clean burner cap in a
dishwasher or self-cleaning oven.
3. If the gas tube openlng or the orifice,
located inside the opening, has become
soiled or clogged, use a cotton swab or a
soft cloth to clean the area. Then use a
small-gauge wire or needle to remove
cooked-on soil.
