GE ZGU375NS - Manual (Page 14)

For proper ignition, make sure the small holes in
the burner rings are kept open. A sewing needle
or wire twist-tie works well to unclog them.
The slits in the burner heads of your cooktop
must be kept clean at all times for an even,
unhampered flame.
You should clean the surface burners routinely,
especially after bad spillovers, which could clog
these openings.
To remove burned-on food, soak the burner
heads and rings in a solution of mild liquid
detergent and hot water for 20–30 minutes.
For more stubborn stains, use a toothbrush.
Clean the burner bases in place on the cooktop.
To remove the burner parts:
1. Lift off the burner cap and burner head.
2. Remove the burner ring locking nut using
a 1 1 ⁄
16
″ socket wrench, crescent wrench or
channel-lock pliers.
3. Lift off the burner ring. Do not remove
the burner bases.
Before putting the burner parts back, shake out
excess water and then dry them thoroughly by
setting them in a warm oven for 30 minutes.
Replace the burner parts. Make sure that the
rings, heads and caps are replaced in the
correct location. There are four medium sets
and one large set of rings, heads and caps.
To replace the burner parts:
Make sure all parts are for the correct burner,
are in the correct location and are firmly seated.
1. Align the locator pin on the burner ring
into the labeled hole in the burner base.
Seat in place and push toward the electrode
to set gap properly.
2. Replace the burner ring locking nut and
hand-tighten. Using the wrench or pliers,
turn the nut 1/4 turn to secure it in place.
3. Align the two locator pins in the burner head
into the holes in the burner ring. Seat in place.
NOTE:
Make sure the burner head pins
completely engage in the burner ring holes
and that burner head is level.
4. Replace the burner caps.
NOTE: Before removing the burner parts,
remember their size and location. Replace
them in the same location after cleaning for
proper burner operation.
Use a sewing needle,
twist-tie and/or toothbrush
to unclog the small holes
and slits in the burner heads
and burner rings.
