EALED SURFACE BURNERS AND COOKTOP
CARING FOR YOUR RANGE
Cleaning the surface burners
• You should routinely remove and clean the burner
cap. Always clean the burner cap after a spill-
over. Keeping the burner cap clean prevents poor
ignition and an uneven flame.
• For the proper flow of gas and ignition of the
burner, do not allow spills, food, cleaning
agents, or any other material to enter the gas
tube opening or burner ports.
• Gas must flow freely through the gas tube
opening for the burner to light properly. You must
keep this area free of any soil and protect it from
boilovers or spillovers. Always keep the burner
cap in place whenever a surface burner is in use.
• Let the cooktop cool before cleaning.
• Do not use oven cleaners, bleach, or rust
removers.
• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air around the burner grate edges.
• Occasionally check the burner flames for proper
size and shape as
shown. A good flame
is blue in color. If the
flames are not burning
at all ports, you may
need to clean the
burner ports.
