Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a 
surface burner. A clean burner cap will help avoid poor ignition 
and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover 
and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the 
“General Cleaning” section.

Gas tube opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas tube 
opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of soil 
and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other 
material to enter the gas tube opening. Keep spillovers out of the 
gas tube by always using a burner cap.

Burner ports: Check burner flames occasionally for proper size 
and shape as shown in the previous illustration. A good flame is 
blue in color, not yellow. Keep this area free of soil and do not 
allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter 
the burner ports.

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and 
the oven and cooktop are cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach 
or rust removers.

1. Remove the burner cap from the burner base and clean 

according to “General Cleaning” section.

2. Clean the gas tube opening with a damp cloth.

3. Clean clogged burner ports with a straight pin as shown. Do 

not enlarge or distort the port. Do not use a wooden 
toothpick. If the burner needs to be adjusted, contact a 
trained repair specialist.

4. Replace the burner cap, making sure the alignment pins are 

properly aligned with the burner cap.

5. Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, check cap 

alignment. If the burner still does not light, do not service the 
sealed burner yourself. Contact a trained repair specialist.

1. Turn off the cooktop burners and allow the grates to cool.

2. Place griddle on center grate with the grease trap toward the 

cooktop controls. 

3. The locating tabs on the bottom side of the griddle at the 

grease trap end should be placed over the grate fingers 
closest to the electronic control.

4. The notch of the griddle should fit over the center support of 

the grate.

NOTE: When properly installed, the bottom of the griddle will 
rest securely just above the top surface of the grate.

IMPORTANT: Do not allow griddle to overhang controls.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the griddle, the griddle is to be 
used on the center burner on Low to Medium heat only. 

■

The griddle is intended for direct food cooking. To avoid 
damaging the finish of the griddle, do not use pans or metal 
utensils on the griddle.

■

To avoid damaging the nonstick finish, do not use nonstick 
cooking sprays.
