Gas tube opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas tube
opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of soil,
and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or any other
material to enter the gas tube opening. Keep spillovers out of the
gas tube opening by always using a burner cap.
A. 1-1 1/2" (2.5-3.8 cm)
B. Burner ports
Burner Ports: Check burner flames occasionally for proper size
and shape as shown in the previous illustration. A good flame is
blue in color, not yellow. Keep this area free of soil, and do not
allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or any other material to enter
the burner ports.
To Clean:
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and
the cooktop is cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach, or rust
removers. Do not wash in the dishwasher.
1. Remove the burner cap and the burner base, and clean
according to the “General Cleaning” section in the Owner’s
Manual.
2. Clean the gas tube opening with a damp cloth.
3. Clean clogged burner ports with a straight pin as shown. Do
not enlarge or distort the port. Do not use a wooden toothpick.
If the burner needs to be adjusted, contact a trained repair
specialist.
4. Replace the burner base. The burner bases and caps must be
properly positioned before cooking. Your range comes with
three sizes of burners and caps. Each round burner base is
marked with a letter indicating the burner size. See the
following illustration for burner positions.
A. Small (AUX)
B. X-Large(UR)
C. Oval
A. Medium(SR)
B. Wok
5. Each round burner cap is marked with a letter indicating the
burner size. Replace the burner cap, making sure it is properly
aligned with the burner base. Burner caps should be level
when properly positioned. If burner caps are not properly
positioned, surface burners will not light. The burner cap
should not rock or wobble when properly aligned.
A. Incorrect
B. Correct
IMPORTANT: The bottom of the small and medium caps are
different. Do not put the wrong size burner cap on the burner
base.
Small cap (AUX) Medium cap (SR) X-Large cap (UR)
6. Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, check cap
alignment. If the burner still does not light, turn off the burner.
Do not service the burner yourself. Contact a trained repair
specialist.
Surface Grates
The grates must be properly positioned before cooking. In the
proper position, the grates should be flush and level. Improper
installation of the grates may result in chipping or scratching of the
cooktop.
To ensure proper positioning, align bumpers on grate bottom with
the indentations in the cooktop.
A. Bumpers
B. Alignment indentations
