Care and cleaning of the cooktop.
8
Burners and Cooktop Electrodes
Turn all controls off before removing burner
parts.
The burner assemblies should always be
kept clean. Spillovers should be cleaned
immediately; they can clog the openings in the
burner assemblies.
Remove the burner grates, burner caps and
burner heads for easy cleaning.
NOTES:
■ Do not attempt to remove the electrode from
the cooktop or any screws from the burner
head or burner base.
■ Do not use steel wool or scouring powders
to clean the burners.
WARNING
DO NOT OPERATE A BURNER
WITHOUT ALL BURNER PARTS
IN PLACE.

the electrode from the cooktop.
Clean this metal part
Do not clean this
white ceramic part
with an emery board
NOTE: Before removing the burner caps
and heads, remember their size and
location. Replace them in the same
location after cleaning.
Burner Caps and Heads
Wash burner caps and burner heads in hot,
soapy water and rinse with clean running
water. You may scour with a plastic scouring
pad to remove burned-on food particles.
Use a sewing needle or twist tie to unclog the
small holes in the burner head, if required.
To remove burned-on food, soak the burner
heads in a solution of mild liquid dishwashing
detergent and hot water for up to 20–30
minutes, if required. For more stubborn stains,
use a toothbrush.
If the spill went inside the burner head
assembly (right front burner on models JGP333,
PGP943, and PGP966), wash it under running
water. Shake to remove any excess water. Air
dry and make sure the small ignitor holes are
open.
NOTE: Do not wash any burner parts
in a dishwasher.
Electrodes
The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed
beyond the surface of the burner base. When
cleaning the cooktop, be careful not to snag the
electrode of the spark igniter with your cleaning
cloth. Damage to the igniter could occur.
Be careful not to push in any cooktop controls
while cleaning the cooktop.
A slight electrical shock might result which
could cause you to knock over
hot cookware.
Make sure that the white ceramic electrodes
in the cooktop are clear of soil and dry. Clean
the metal part of the electrode with a soft cloth.
For stubborn, hardened soil, clean the metal
portion of the electrode with an emery board.
Do not clean the white ceramic portion of the
electrode with the emery board. It is acceptable
to clean the white portion of the electrode with
a soft cloth, but not with an emery board.
Before reassembling the surface burners, push
down on each of the white ceramic electrodes
to make sure they are pressed against the
burner bases.
Burner Bases
The burner bases should not be removed for
cleaning.
To clean the burner bases, use soapy water and
a plastic scouring pad. Make sure that no water
gets into the burner bases and the brass gas
orifices.
Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow them to
dry fully before using.
