General Cleaning
(continued)
Note: The burner cap assembly refers to
all parts of the sealed burner unit (burner
cap, burner pan (some models), trim ring
(some models), locating tab, burner base
and electrode).
Use caution when
replacing the burner cap so the electrode
is not damaged. This may cause a
delayed ignition or prevent the burner
from igniting.
Any additions, changes
or conversions required in order for this
appliance to satisfactorily meet the
application needs must be made by a
Frigidaire Distributor or Qualified
Agency.
To Clean the Contoured Burner Pans
The square burner pans are attached to the cooktop and are not removable. The
burner pan forms a recessed well area located around each burner unit. If a spill
occurs in one of the four well areas, blot up spill with an absorbent cloth. Rinse with
a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.
To Remove the Burner Cap Assembly
Your assembly will consist of a burner cap and trim ring. Remove the burner cap
first and then the trim ring. Do not operate the burners without the burner
cap assembly and trim ring in place.
To Clean the Burner Cap and Trim Ring
Use a soap-filled scouring pad or a mild abrasive cleanser to clean burner caps and
trim rings. If necessary, cover stubborn spots with an ammonia-soaked paper
towel for 30 minutes. Rub gently with a soap-filled scouring pad and rinse with a
mixture of clean water and vinegar. Wipe dry. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain
may become damaged during future heating.
To Clean the Burner Base and Gas Opening
The ports (or slots) around the burner base must be routinely cleaned. Use a small-
gauge wire or needle to clean small slots or holes. Use care to prevent damage to
the electrode. If a cleaning cloth should catch the electrode, it could break or
damage the electrode. If the electrode is damaged or broken, the surface burner
will not light because it will not spark. Manual lighting with a match is still possible.
For proper flow of gas and ignition of the burner—DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD,
CLEANING AGENTS OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS OPENING. Gas
must flow freely through the small hole in the brass orifice for the burners to light
properly. If the gas opening orifice becomes soiled or clogged, use a small-gauge
wire or needle to clean. ALWAYS keep the burner cap assembly and ring in place
whenever a surface burner is in use.
To Replace the Burner Cap and Ring Assembly
Make sure the burner cap and ring are thoroughly dry before placing back on the
burner.
1. Replace trim ring (some models).
2. Find the locating tabs on the burner cap and place in the locating slots in the
burner base. Make sure each burner cap is properly aligned and level.
3. Turn the burner on to determine if it will light. If the burner does not light after
cleaning, contact an authorized servicer. Do not service the sealed burner
yourself.
