BURNER HEADS/CAPS
For even and unhampered flame, the slits in the burner
heads must be kept clean at all times. The burner heads
(and the oval burner head and cap assembly) can be
lifted off. Do not attempt to remove the oval burner
cap.
• Wash the burner caps in hot soapy water and rinse
with clean water. Run water through the oval burner
from the bottom stem to flush out debris.
• Any spills on or around an electrode must be cleaned
carefully. The pointed metal ends on the electrodes
could cause injury. Hitting an electrode with a hard
object could damage the electrode.
• To remove burnt-on food, soak the burner heads in
a solution of mild liquid detergent and hot water for
20–30 minutes. For stubborn stains, use a toothbrush.
• The burners will not operate properly if the burner
ports or electrodes are clogged or dirty.
• Burner caps and heads should be cleaned routinely,
especially after bad spillovers.
• Burners will not light if the cap is removed.

AFTER CLEANING THE BURNER HEADS/CAPS

Shake out any excess water and then let them dry
thoroughly. Placing the oval burner upside down will
allow the water to drain out more easily. Replace the
burner heads and caps over the electrodes on the
cooktop, in the correct locations according to their size.
Make sure the hole in the burner head is positioned over
the electrode.
CAUTION:
• DO NOT hit the electrodes with anything hard. Doing
so could damage them.
• DO NOT use steel wool or scouring powders to clean
the burners.
