Surface Burner Ports - Gas Range
Cleaning the Burner Ports:
IMPORTANT: Ensure all controls are off and the cooktop is cool before cleaning. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach, or rust removers.
- Remove the burner cap and burner base.
- Remove the burner base and clean the gas tube opening under the base using a damp cloth.
- Clean clogged burner ports with a straight pin, needle, or small gauge wire.
- Reinstall the burner base and cap. Ensure the alignment pins are properly adjusted with the burner cap and the correct burner cap is on the correct burner base. The burner cap should fit flush with the burner base and have very little side-to-side movement.
- Turn on the burner. If it does not light, check the cap alignment and whether the correct burner cap is on the correct burner base.
Reminders
- Do not use a wooden toothpick; it can break off and prevent proper gas flow.
- Do not clean the dishwasher.
- Do not enlarge or distort the port.
