Gas tube opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas tube
opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of soil
and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other
material to enter the gas tube opening. Keep spillovers out of the
gas tube opening by always using a burner cap.
Burner ports: Check burner flames occasionally for proper size
and shape as shown above. A good flame is blue in color, not
yellow. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food,
cleaning agents or any other material to enter the burner ports.
To Clean:
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and
cooktop is cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach or rust
removers.
1. Remove the burner cap and head from the burner base and
clean according to “General Cleaning” section.
2. Clean the gas tube opening with a damp cloth.
3. Clean clogged burner ports with a straight pin as shown. Do
not enlarge or distort the port. Do not use a wooden
toothpick.
4. Replace the burner cap and head, making sure the alignment
tab and notch are properly aligned with the burner cap.
5. Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, check burner
head alignment. If the burner still does not light, do not
service the burner yourself. Contact a trained repair
specialist.
Surface Grates
The grates must be properly positioned before cooking. In the
proper position the grates should be flush and level. Improper
installation of the grates may result in chipping or scratching of
the cooktop.
To ensure proper positioning, align bumpers on grate bottom with
the indentations in the cooktop. See cooktop illustrations in the
“Parts and Features” section for proper grate positioning.
Although the burner grates are durable, they will gradually lose
their shine and/or discolor due to the high temperatures of the
gas flame.
JX3™ Downdraft Ventilation System
The built-in downdraft ventilation system removes cooking
vapors, odors and smoke from foods prepared on the cooktop.
IMPORTANT: For optimal performance, operate downdraft
ventilation system with the filter properly installed.
To avoid the buildup of grease, the filter should be cleaned often.
For more information on proper filter placement and cleaning, see
“Downdraft Ventilation System” in the “General Cleaning”
section.
To Use:
Turn vent knob to desired speed: HI, LO or to the midpoint
between Hi and Low for Medium. Turn vent fan knob to OFF
when finished cooking, or when the cooktop is not in use.
