SEALED SURFACE BURNERS AND COOKTOP
Cleaning the surface burners
� You should routinely remove and clean the burner cap. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover. 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 1-11�2" is blue in color. If the flames are not burning at all ports, you may need to clean the burner ports. Burner ports Porcelain burner cap

To clean the burners:
1. Pull the burner cap straight up from the
burner base. 2. Clean the burner cap with warm, soapy water and a sponge. You can also clean it with a non-abrasive scrubbing pad or mild abrasive powdered cleanser. Do not clean the burner cap in a dishwasher.
5. After cleaning the gas tube opening and ports,
replace the burner cap. To replace the burner cap, make sure the alignment pins on the cap are properly aligned with the burner base.
3. If the gas tube opening has become soiled or
clogged, use a damp cloth to clean the area. 4. If the ports are clogged, clean them with a straight pin. Do not enlarge or distort the port. Do not use a wooden toothpick. If the burner needs to be adjusted, call a qualified technician for service. Gas tube opening
6. Turn on the burner to see if it will light. If the
burner does not light after you have cleaned it, recheck cap alignment or contact a designated service technician. Do not service the sealed burner yourself.
