Why must cleaned burner components be dry before refitting?

Moisture can affect normal ignition and may remain in places that are not obvious from the top. Use the drying method stated for the removable parts.

What the observation means

A quick wipe of the outer surface may not remove all retained water. Heating a poorly assembled burner to dry it is not an appropriate workaround.

A useful next step

Allow the parts to dry fully as instructed, then refit only in their correct positions. If normal lighting still fails, stop repeated attempts and seek advice. Do not touch ignition electrodes while operating the controls or use a flame to dry them.

Manuals and supporting guidance

Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
