When cleaning the cooktop area or around the burner base, use care to prevent damage to the ignitor. If a sponge should catch the metal ignitor electrode, it could damage or break the electrode. lf the electrode is damaged or broken, the surface burner will not light. When cleaning the cooktop, leave the burner cap in place to protect the electrode from possible damage.

The burner caps should be routinely
removed and cleaned. Always clean burner caps after a spillover. Keeping the burner caps clean prevents improper ignition and an uneven flame. For proper flow of gas and ignition of the burner, DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD, CLEANING AGENTS OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS TUBE OPENING.

Gas must flow freely through the small
hole in the brass orifice for the burner to light properly. This area must be free of any soil and be kept protected from boilovers or spillovers. ALWAYS keep the burner caps in place whenever a surface burner is in use. Occasionally check the burner flames for proper size and shape as shown. A good flame is blue in color. If flames lift off ports, are yellow, or are noisy when turned off, you may need to clean the burners. F-opening
