Operating Instructions Safety Instructions Care and cleaning of the range. Installation Instructions Burner cap is properly seated. Burner Caps, Bases and Heads Before removing the burner caps and heads (on some models), remember their size and location. Replace them in the same location after cleaning. NOTE: Do not use steel wool or scouring powders to clean the burner parts. Burner caps Burner cap is NOT properly seated. Lift off when cool. 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. Burner bases (on some models) The burner bases (on some models) are not removable. Only the caps may be removed for cleaning. Burner Bases (on some models) The round burner bases are not removable. Only the caps may be removed for cleaning. To clean the burner bases, use soapy water and a plastic scouring pad. Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Make sure that no water gets into the burner bases. Allow them to dry fully before using. Burner heads (on some models) The burner heads (on some models) are removable. Simply lift them off the range for cleaning. Front right head (on some models) Burner head Electrode Burner base Make sure the hole in the burner head is positioned over the electrode and that the burner head is fully inserted inside the burner base. A small gap between the base and head is normal. Front right head (on some models), front left head, back right head and back left head Burner Heads (on some models) and Oval (Center) Burner Head/Cap Assembly The burner heads and the oval burner head/cap assembly are removable. Simply lift them off the range for cleaning. For proper ignition, make sure the small hole in the section that fits over the electrode is kept open. A sewing needle or wire twist-tie works well to unclog it. The slits 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. Any spill on or around an electrode must be carefully cleaned. Take care to not hit an electrode with anything hard or it could be damaged. Burner head Stability chamber Burner base Electrode Use a sewing needle or twist-tie to unclog the small hole in the burner head. Make sure the slot in the burner head is positioned over the electrode. Clean the burner heads routinely, especially after bad spillovers, which could clog the openings. Lift off when cool. To remove burned-on food, soak the burner heads in a solution of mild liquid detergent and hot water for 20-30 minutes. For more stubborn stains, use a toothbrush.
