Simmer Plate; Sealed Surface Burners - KitchenAid KDRP707 Guide D'utilisation Et D'entretien

Simmer Plate

The Simmer Plate is made of aluminum with a nonstick
coating to evenly spread the heat over the bottom of
cookware.
Channels on the bottom of the Simmer Plate have been
designed so it fits properly and securely over the grate. See
above illustration.
The Simmer Plate may be used on large and small surface
burners.
Use the Simmer Plate with burner settings in the medium to
low range on the cooktop when lower temperatures are
needed for simmering, or for maintaining food at a low
temperature over an extended period of time.
See "Assistance or Service" section to order extra Simmer
Plates.

A. Burner cap
B. Burner base
C. Alignment pins
D. Igniter
E. Gas tube opening
IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air around the burner grate edges.
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 above. 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.
To Clean:
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.
