Sealed Surface Burners
A. Burner cap
B. Burner base
C. Alignment pins
D. Igniter
E. Gas tube opening
IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air around the burner grate edges.
Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a
surface burner. A clean burner cap will help avoid poor ignition
and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover
and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the
“General Cleaning” section.
Alignment: Be sure to align the gas tube opening in the burner
base with the orifice holder on the cooktop and the igniter
electrode with the notch in the burner base.
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 by always using a burner cap.

" (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 oven and cooktop are cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach,
or rust removers.
1. Remove the burner cap from 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. Each round burner base is marked
with a letter indicating the burner size. See the following
illustration for burner positions.
A. Medium (Semi Rapid)
B. Large (Ultra Rapid)
C. Oval (OV)
D. Small (Auxiliary)
E. Large (Ultra Rapid)
5. Replace the burner cap, making sure the alignment pins are

sealed burner yourself. Contact a trained repair specialist.
EZ-2-Lift™ Hinged Cast Iron 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.
Your cooktop comes with hinged grates for easier cleaning. The
grates pivot to the side for easy access under the grates.
