Assembly of the Burner Caps
Make sure that all of the surface burner caps and
surface burner grates are installed correctly and at
the correct locations.
1. Remove all packing material from the cooktop
area.
2. Make sure burner caps are properly placed on
the surface burners.
3. Unpack the burner grates and position them on
the cooktop.
4. Discard all packing material..
On round-style burners, the burner cap lip (Figure
1) should fit snug into the center of the burner head
and rest level. Refer to Figure 1 for correct and in-
correct burner cap placement.

CAUTION
• Do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or
any other material to enter the gas orifice
holder opening.
• Always keep the burner caps and burner
heads in place whenever the surface burners
are in use.
• Never place flammable items on the cooktop.
Once in place, you may check the fit by gently slid-
ing the burner cap from side to side (Figure 2) to
be sure it is centered and firmly seated. When the
burner cap lip makes contact inside the center of
the burner head you will be able to hear the burner
cap click

IMPORTANT
Please note that the burner cap should not move
o the center of the burner head when sliding
from side to side.
• Check and be sure that all oval-style burner
caps (some models) are correctly in place on
oval burner heads.
• Do not use the surface burners without the
burner caps properly installed. Improperly
seated burner caps may prevent burners from
lighting or cause uneven flame and heating.
• Missing pieces or improper installation may
lead to spills, burns, or damage to your range
and cookware.
• Never place flammable items on the cooktop.
Gas surface burner types
The cooktop is equipped with gas surface burners
with dierent BTU ratings. The ability to heat food
quickly and in large amounts increases as the burn-
er size increases.
• Small burners are best used for low-flame heat-
ing of small amounts of food.
• Standard burners can be used for most surface
cooking needs.
• The largest burner is best used for bringing
large quantities of liquid rapidly up to tem-
perature or when preparing larger quantities
of food. The large burner is located at the right
front position on the cooktop.
Regardless of size, always select cookware that
is suitable for the amount and type of food being
prepared. Select a burner and set the flame size
appropriately for the pan. Never allow flames to
extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.
