The electrode of the spark igniter is
exposed when the burner head is
removed. When one burner is turned
to
LITE,
all the burners spark. Do not
attempt to disassemble or clean
around any burner while another
burner is on. An electric shock may
result, which could cause you to
knock over hot cookware.

The holes in the surface burners of your
range must be kept clean at all times for
proper ignition and an even, unhampered
flame.
You should clean the surface burners
routinely, especially after bad spillovers,
which could clog these holes.
Wipe off surface burners. If heavy spillover
occurs, remove the surface burners from the
range. Burners lift out for cleaning. Lift up the
cooktop and then lift out the surface burners.
To remove burned-on food, soak the surface
burner in a solution of mild liquid detergent
and hot water. Soak the surface burner for
20 to 30 minutes.
For more stubborn stains, use a cleanser like
Soft Scrub
®
brand or Bon Ami
®
brand. Rinse
well to remove any traces of the cleanser
that might clog the surface burner openings.
Do not use steel wool because it will clog the
surface burner openings and scratch the
surface burners. If the holes become clogged,
clean them with a sewing needle or twist-tie.
Before putting the surface burner back,
shake out excess water and then dry it
thoroughly by setting it in a warm oven
for 30 minutes. Then place it back in the
range, making sure it is properly seated
and level.
Check the flame pattern of each burner.
If the flames are “jumpy” (not steady),
clean the holes again with a sewing
needle or twist-tie.
