Sealed surface burners and cooktop
(cont.)
To clean the burners:
1. Pull the burner caps straight up from the
burner base.
2. Clean the burner caps with warm, soapy water
and a sponge. You can also clean the caps with
a mildly abrasive plastic scrubbing pad and
powdered cleanser. Do not clean the burner caps
in a dishwasher or self-cleaning oven.
3. If the gas tube opening has become soiled or
clogged, use a cotton swab or a soft cloth to clean
the area.
4. If the ports are clogged, clean them with a
straight pin. Do not
enlarge or distort the
port. Do not use a
wooden toothpick.
If the burner needs to be
adjusted, call a qualified
technician for service.
6. Turn on the burner to see if it will light. If the burner
does not light after you have cleaned it, contact an
authorized Whirlpool service technician. Do not
service the sealed burner yourself.
5. After cleaning the gas tube opening and ports,
replace the burner caps.
To replace the burner
caps, make sure the
alignment pins on the
burner base are properly
aligned with the cap.
