Cleaning the burner heads on your Modern Maid gas cooktop
- Allow the burners and cooktop to cool completely before you start cleaning.
- Wipe the burner head with a damp cloth. Remove food and residue between the burner head slots using a toothbrush.
- To remove stubborn residue from burner heads, use a paper clip or sewing needle. A small-gauge wire works also.
- Make sure that you clean the ignition port so the burner ignites properly.
- Wipe the burner heads with a damp cloth after cleaning the slots and the ignition ports.
Troubleshooting your Modern Maid gas cooktop when burners aren't heating properly
When all gas burner flames are weak on the cooktop, check the gas supply shut-off valve to make sure it's fully open. If the shut-off valve is fully open and all burner flames are weak, you may need to have your gas supplier check the gas supply pressure.
If gas supply pressure is okay, a failed pressure regulator on the cooktop may be restricting flow to the burners.
If a single burner isn't heating properly, check the burner head for a spill and clean the burner head if it's clogged.
