Cleaning the burner caps
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.
The round burner caps may also be
cleaned in your dishwasher.
Cleaning the burner heads
Wash the burner heads routinely,
especially after bad spillovers which
could clog the burner openings. Lift
burners off when cool. Wash with
hot, soapy water. Rinse with clean
water. For more stubborn stains, use
a brush with plastic bristles.
NOTE: Do not use steel wool or
scouring pads to clean the burner
parts as these may clog the openings.
Never wash burner heads in your
dishwasher, doing so may cause them
to discolor.
The ports 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.
For proper ignition, make sure that
the small hole in the section that
matches the electrode stays clear.
You can use a sewing needle to
unclog it.
Round hole in
burner must
be kept clear.
Replacing surface burners
Before replacing the burner caps,
heads and oval head/cap assembly,
shake out excess water and allow
them to dry thoroughly.
Replace burner heads in the correct
locations according to size. Ensure
each cap is properly seated on the
burner head, as pictured below.
