Burner Cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when
using a surface burner. A clean burner cap will help avoid
poor ignition and uneven flames. Always clean the burner
cap after a spillover and routinely remove and clean the caps
according to the "General Cleaning" section.
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 "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.
