Burners and Cooktop Electrodes
Turn all controls off before removing burner parts.
The burner assemblies should always be
kept clean. Spillovers should be cleaned
immediately; they can clog the openings
in the burner assemblies.
Remove the burner grates, burner caps
and burner heads for easy cleaning.
NOTES:
■ Do not attempt to remove the electrode from
the cooktop or any screws from the burner
head or burner base.
■ Do not use steel wool or scouring powders
to clean the burners.
CAUTION:
DO NOT OPERATE A BURNER
WITHOUT ALL BURNER PARTS
IN PLACE.

Do not clean this
white ceramic part
with an emery board
NOTE: Before removing the burner
caps and heads, remember their size
and location. Replace them in the
same location after cleaning.
Burner Caps and Heads
Wash burner caps and burner heads
in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean
running water. You may scour with a
plastic scouring pad to remove burned-
on food particles.
Use a sewing needle or twist tie to
unclog the small holes in the burner
head, if required.
To remove burned-on food, soak the
burner heads in a solution of mild liquid
dishwashing detergent and hot water for
up to 20–30 minutes, if required. For
more stubborn stains, use a toothbrush.
If the spill went inside the burner head
assembly (right front burner on models
JGP945 and JGP975), wash it under
running water. Shake to remove any
excess water. Air dry and make sure the
small ignitor holes are open.
NOTE: Do not wash any burner parts
in a dishwasher.
Electrodes
The electrode of the spark igniter is
exposed beyond the surface of the
burner base. When cleaning the cooktop,
be careful not to snag the electrode of
the spark igniter with your cleaning
cloth. Damage to the igniter could occur.
Be careful not to push in any cooktop
controls while cleaning the cooktop.
A slight electrical shock might result
which could cause you to knock over
hot cookware.
Make sure that the white ceramic
electrodes in the cooktop are clear of soil
and dry. Clean the metal part of the
electrode with a soft cloth. For stubborn,
hardened soil, clean the metal portion of
the electrode with an emery board. Do
not clean the white ceramic portion of
the electrode with the emery board. It is
acceptable to clean the white portion of
the electrode with a soft cloth, but not
with an emery board.
Before reassembling the surface burners,
push down on each of the white ceramic
electrodes to make sure they are pressed
against the burner bases.
Burner Bases
The burner bases should not be removed
for cleaning.
To clean the burner bases, use soapy water
and a plastic scouring pad. Make sure that
no water gets into the burner bases and
the brass gas orifices.
Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow
them to dry fully before using.
