COOKTOP PARTS
Aluminum and
enamelled
Burner caps
and flame
spreaders
1 Check that the burner is turned
OFF and allow it to cool.
2 Lift off the burner cap and brass
flame spreader.
3 Wash them in hot soapy water,
rinse, and dry.
y Use a stiff nylon brush or
straight-ended paper clip to
clear the notches of the flame
spreader.
4 Replace the flame spreader
and burner cap correctly. See
‘Replacing the burner parts’.
Brass burner parts only:
For extra shine and to remove
tarnish use a suitable brass
cleaner and polish, following
manufacturer’s instructions.
y Keep the notches of the
flame spreaders clear.
Soiling may clog these and
cause ignition problems.
y Before replacing the burner
parts, check that they are
dry. Wet burner parts may
result in an irregular flame.
y Before lighting a burner
you have reassembled,
check that all of its parts
are positioned correctly.
Incorrect assembly can
cause dangerous irregular
flames and ignition
problems.
y Do not put any burner parts
in the dishwasher as they
will become discoloured.
Ignitors
1 Check that the burner is turned
OFF.
2 Clean the ignitor with a small
brush (e.g. old toothbrush)
or cotton swab that has been
dipped into rubbing alcohol.
y The ignitors must be
kept clean and dry to
work correctly. Dirty or
wet ignitors could cause
constant clicking and
sparking, even if a flame is
present.
