Jenn-Air JGD3536GB, Use & Care Manual

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 by always using a burner cap.

Burner ports:

 Check burner flames occasionally for proper size and 

shape as shown in the previous illustration. 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 

the oven and cooktop are cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach, 

or rust removers.

1. 

Remove the burner cap from the burner base and clean 

according to the “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. If the 

burner needs to be adjusted, contact a trained repair specialist.

4. 

Replace the burner cap, making sure the alignment pins  

are properly aligned with the burner cap. Each round burner 

cap is marked with letters indicating the burner size. Place 

the burner caps on the appropriate burner bases.

IMPORTANT: 

The bottom of the small and medium caps are 

different. Do not put the wrong size burner cap on the burner 

base. 

5. 

Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, verify the 

burner cap placement and check cap and burner base 

alignment. If the burner still does not light, do not service the 

sealed burner yourself. Contact a trained repair specialist.

Melt Cap

For melting chocolate or butter or an even more delicate simmer, the 

melt cap can be used in place of the standard burner cap. The melt 

cap should only be used on the small burner (right rear). Remove the 

small burner cap and replace it with the larger melt cap for delicate 

simmering. For less delicate simmering, use the small cap.

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.
