Dual-flame spill-proof burners Care and Cleaning Gas Cooktop The burner consists of three parts: the burner base, burner head and burner cap. The burner head and burner cap can be lifted off, making them easy to clean. CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE BURNER WITHOUT ALL BURNER PARTS IN PLACE. You should clean the surface burners routinely, especially after bad spillovers, which could clog the slots and holes in the burner heads. A sewing needle or wire twist-tie works well to unclog these openings. All slots and holes in the burner head must be kept clean at all times for proper ignition and an uneven, unhampered flame. The electrode is located Electrode on one side of each burner. When one burner is "ON", all burners will spark. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on. An electric shock may result, which could cause you to knock over hot cookware. Cleaning Lift off burner parts only when cool (see next page). Wash in hot, soapy water. You may use a plastic scouring pad to remove burned-on food particles. 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 plastic scouring pad or toothbrush. If the spill goes inside the burner head assembly, wash it under running water and shake to remove excess water. After Cleaning Before replacing the burner parts, shake out excess water and then dry them thoroughly. 12
