Care and cleaning of the range.
Burner Caps and Heads
Before removing the burner caps and heads
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 Heads 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 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
Replace burner heads over the electrodes on
the cooktop, in the correct locations according to
their size. There is one small, one medium, one
extra large and one dual flame extra large burner
head.
Make sure the slot (on fromt left, back right and
back left heads) and the hole (front right head) 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 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.
