with clean water. For more stubborn stains, use a brush

with plastic bristles.

NOTE: Do not use steel wool or scouring pads to clean

the burner parts as these may clog the openings. Never

wash burner heads in your dishwasher. Doing so may

cause them to discolor.

The ports in the burner heads must be kept clean at all

times for an even, unhampered flame.

Clogged or dirty burner ports or electrodes will not allow

the burner to operate properly.

For proper ignition, make sure the small hole in the notch

that fits over the electrode is kept open. A sewing needle

or wire twist-tie works well to unclog it.
