Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap and head in place when using a surface burner. A clean burner cap and head will help prevent poor ignition and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap and head 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. Protect it from spillovers by always using a head and cap.
