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 front 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.
Burner cap is
