chamber resting it on the floor of the range,
4. Remove the boiling plate, combustion chamber baffle and simmering plate.

6. Lightly brush the perforated top of the gas burner and check that the burner venturi is free of lint and fluff.
NOTE: IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO DETACH THE PILOT ASSEMBLY AND REMOVE THE BURNER TO
ENSURE IT IS FREE.
7. Check the condition of the pilot thermocouple tip to ensure it is clean and free of carbon. Heavy heat oxidised
tips should mean the removal of the thermocouple and a new replacement. Examine and brush the pilot light
parts and examine the ignitor cable to ensure the PTFE insulation remains intact and is firmly connected to the
spark electrode. Clean any carbon away from the electrode.
8. Refit the gas burner assembly in reverse manner described in 3 and reconnect the gas supply at service gas
valve union.
