Installation Steps:
- Preparation: Ensure the appliance is cool and disconnected from all utilities. Clear the work area of any obstructions.

If you are unsure about any step, consult a qualified technician.
3. Operating Instructions
The Ambach burner head itself does not have operational controls. Its function is to distribute the gas/air mixture for combustion. Operation is controlled by the appliance it is installed in (gas cooker, electric oven, or gas oven).
General Operation Guidelines:
- Always follow the operating instructions provided with your specific Ambach appliance.
- Ensure proper ventilation in the kitchen area during operation.
- Never leave cooking unattended.
- If you detect a gas odor, immediately turn off the gas supply, open windows, and do not operate any electrical switches or appliances. Contact emergency services.
4. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and inspection of the burner head are essential to maintain efficiency and prolong its lifespan.
Cleaning:
- Daily Cleaning: After each use, allow the burner head to cool completely. Wipe down any spills or food residue from the surface using a damp cloth and mild detergent.
- Deep Cleaning (Periodically): For stubborn stains or blockages, remove the burner head from the appliance (refer to Section 2: Setup and Installation for removal steps). Soak it in warm, soapy water. Use a non-abrasive brush or sponge to gently scrub away baked-on food or grease. Ensure all ports and openings are clear. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before reinstallation.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or sharp objects, as these can damage the burner head's surface and affect its performance.
Inspection:
- Visual Check: Regularly inspect the burner head for any signs of wear, cracks, corrosion, or blockages in the gas ports.
- Flame Pattern: Observe the flame pattern during operation. A healthy flame should be blue and stable. Yellow or orange flames, or uneven flame distribution, may indicate a blockage or an issue requiring professional service.
- Secure Fit: Ensure the burner head is always securely seated on its base.
