Sealed Surface Burners
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.
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.
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.
1. Remove the burner cap and the burner base and clean
according to the “General Cleaning” section.
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 cap, making sure the alignment pins are
properly aligned with the burner cap.
5. Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, check cap
alignment. If the burner still does not light, do not service the
sealed burner yourself. Contact a trained repair specialist.
