Gas must flow freely through the small hole in the
brass orifice for the burner to light properly. This
area must be free of any soil and be kept
protected from boilovers or spillovers.

keep
the burner caps in place whenever a
surface burner is in use.
After cleaning the gas tube opening, replace
the burner cap, trim ring and burner pan.
Occasionally check
the burner flames for
proper size and shape as shown. A good flame is
blue in color. If flames fii off ports, are yellow, or
are noisy when turned off, you may need to clean
the burners. tf ports
are
clogged, clean with a
straight pin. Do not enlarge or distort port. Do
not
use a wooden toothpick
lf adjustment is
needed,
call
a qualiiied technician for service.
To replace burner cap,
make sure cap is
properly aligned and leveled.
Find
the recessed
locating tabs on the burner cap (see illustration)
and
place
cap over the white ignitor in the burner
base.
Turn
the burner on to determine if it will light. If
the burner does not light after
cleaning,
contact
an authorized WhirlpooP service
technician. Do not service the sealed burner
yourself.
