Burner Caps, Bases and Heads
Before removing the burner caps and heads (on
some models), remember their size and location.
Replace them in the same location after cleaning.
NOTE:
Do not use steel wool or scouring powders
to clean the burner parts.
Burner caps
Lift off when cool. Wash burner caps in hot, soapy
water and rinse with clean water. You may scour
with a plastic scouring pad to remove burned-on
food particles.
Burner Bases
(on some models)
The round burner bases are not removable. Only
the caps may be removed for cleaning.
To clean the burner bases, use soapy water and a
plastic scouring pad. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Make sure that no water gets into the burner
bases. Allow them to dry fully before using.
Burner Heads
(on some models)
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 proper ignition, make sure the small hole
in the section that fits over the electrode is kept
open. A sewing needle or wire twist-tie works
well to unclog it.
The slits in the burner heads must be kept clean
at all times for an even, unhampered flame.
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.
Clean the burner heads routinely, especially after
bad spillovers, which could clog the openings. Lift
off when cool.
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.
After cleaning
Before putting the burner caps, heads (on some
models) and oval head/cap assembly back, shake
out excess water and then dry them thoroughly
by setting in a warm oven for 30 minutes.
Replacement
Burner Heads
(on some models)
Replace burner heads over the electrodes on
the cooktop, in the correct locations according to
their size. There is one small, one medium, one
large and one extra-large burner head.
Make sure the slot or hole (depending on model) in
the burner head is positioned over the electrode.
Oval (Center) Burner Head/Cap Assembly
Replace the oval (center) head/cap assembly over
the electrode on the cooktop.
Caps
Replace the matching size caps onto the burner
bases or heads.
Make sure that the heads (on some models) and
caps are replaced in the correct locations.
The oval burner head/cap assembly is removable.
Simply lift it off the range for cleaning. Use a
sewing needle or twist-tie to unclog the small
hole in the burner heads.
Burner cap is
properly seated.
