Care and cleaning of the range. Use a sewing needle or twist-tie to unclog the small hole in the burner head. Burner Caps and Heads NOTE: Before removing the burner caps and heads, remember their size and location. Replace them in the same location after cleaning. Burner caps 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. Replacement Replace burner heads over the electrodes on the cooktop, in the correct locations according to their size. On some models: Medium head and cap Small head and cap Burner heads 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. You should clean the burner caps and burner heads routinely, especially after bad spillovers, which could clog the openings in the burner heads. 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. After cleaning Before putting the burner caps and heads back, shake out excess water and then dry them thoroughly by setting in a warm oven for 30 minutes. NOTE: Do not use steel wool or scouring powders to clean the burners.
