replacing the burner cap so the electrode
is not damaged. This may cause a
delayed ignition or prevent the burner
from igniting.
Any additions, changes

General Cleaning
Sealed Burner Models
To Clean the Cooktop
The cooktop is designed to make cleaning easier. Because the four burners are
sealed, cleanups are easy when spillovers are cleaned up immediately.
To clean, wipe with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.
To Clean the Contoured Well Areas, Burner Cap Assembly, Trim
Ring (some models), Burner Pan (some models) and Burner
Base
The contoured well areas, burner cap assembly, trim ring (some models),
burner pan (some models) and burner base should be routinely cleaned.
Keeping the burner ports clean will prevent improper ignition and an uneven
flame. See instructions below.
To Clean the Contoured Well Areas
The contoured well is a recessed area located around each burner unit. If a spill
occurs in one of the four well areas, blot up spill with an absorbent cloth. Rinse
with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.
To Remove the Burner Cap Assembly
The burner cap assembly parts differ per model. Your assembly will consist of
one of the following combinations: burner cap and trim ring; burner cap and
burner pan; or burner cap, trim ring and burner pan. Remove in the following
order: (1st) burner cap, (2nd) trim ring and (3rd) burner pan.
Do not operate
the burners without the burner cap assembly in place.
To Clean the Burner Cap, Burner Pan (some models) and Trim Ring (some
models)
Use a soap-filled scouring pad or a mild abrasive cleanser to clean burner caps,
trim rings and burner pans.
To Clean the Burner Base and Gas Opening
The ports (or slots) around the burner base must be routinely cleaned. Use a
small-gauge wire or needle to clean small slots or holes.Use care to prevent
damage to the electrode. If a cleaning cloth should catch the electrode, it could
break or damage the electrode. If the electrode is damaged or broken, the
surface burner will not light.
For proper flow of gas and ignition of the burnerDO NOT ALLOW SPILLS,
FOOD, CLEANING AGENTS OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS
OPENING. Gas must flow freely through the small hole in the brass orifice for
the burners to light properly. If the orifice gas opening becomes soiled or
clogged, use a small-gauge wire or needle to clean. ALWAYS keep the burner
cap assembly in place whenever a surface burner is in use.
To Replace the Burner Cap Assembly
Make sure the burner cap assembly is thoroughly dry before placing back on
the burner.
1. Lower burner pan (some models) into place around the burner base.
2. Replace trim ring (some models).
3. Find the locating tabs on the burner cap and place in the locating slots in
the burner base. Make sure each burner cap is properly aligned and level.
4. Turn the burner on to determine if it will light. If the burner does not light
after cleaning, contact an authorized servicer. Do not service the sealed
burner yourself.
