Care And Cleaning; Sealed Burner Assemblies; Burner Caps - GE JGBP27 Use And Care & Installation Manual

Proper care and cleaning are important so your range
will give you efficient and satisfactory service. Follow
these directions carefully in caring for it to help assure
safe and proper maintenance.
CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE BURNER WITHOUT ALL BURNER PARTS IN PLACE.

Sealed Burner Assemblies

Turn all controls OFF before removing burner parts.
The burner grates, burner caps and burner heads
can be lifted off, making them easy to clean.
The electrode of
the spark igniter is
exposed when the
burner head is
removed. When one
burner is turned to LITE, all the burners spark.
Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around
any burner while another burner is on. An electric
shock may result, which could cause you to knock
over hot cookware.

Burner Caps

Lift off when cool. Wash burner
caps in hot, soapy water and rinse
with clean water. If desired, soak up to
30 minutes and scour with a plastic
scouring pad to remove burned-on food particles.
Dry them in a warm oven or with a cloth—
do not reassemble them wet.

BE SURE ELECTRICAL POWER IS
DISCONNECTED BEFORE CLEANING ANY
PART OF YOUR RANGE.
Burner Heads
The holes in the burners of your range, and the spark
electrodes, must be kept clean at all times for proper
ignition and an even, unhampered flame.
You should clean the burner
heads routinely, especially
after bad spillovers, which
could clog these holes.
Wipe off burner heads. If heavy spillover occurs,
remove burner heads from range.
Remove the burner grate. Then lift the burner head
straight up.
To get rid of burned-on food, soak the burner head
upside-down in a solution of mild liquid detergent and
hot water. Soak the burner head for 20 to 30 minutes.
If the food doesn't rinse off completely, scrub it with
soap and water and a soft brush or plastic scouring pad.
For more stubborn stains, use a cleanser like Soft
®
Scrub brand or Bon Ami
remove any traces of the cleanser that might clog
the burner openings. Do not use steel wool because
it will clog the burner openings and scratch the
burners. If the holes become clogged, clean them with
a sewing needle or twist tie.
Before putting the burner head back, shake out
excess water and dry it thoroughly by setting it in a
warm oven for 30 minutes. Then place it back in the
range, making sure the pin in the burner base goes in
the hole in the burner head, and that the burner heads
are properly seated and level.
Burner Base
The burner base (the part of the
burner fastened to the cooktop) may
be cleaned with a soft brush and a mild
cleanser. Clean all food residues from
around spark electrode. Do not use steel
wool; small bits of steel wool will short out the
electrode. Rinse well.
Clean these
holes
thoroughly on
each burner.
