10 Before Setting Surface Controls
BURNER CAP PLACEMENT
Check burner cap placement before operating the surface
burners.
To prevent flare-ups and avoid creation of harmful by-products,
do not use the cooktop without all burner caps properly installed
to insure proper ignition and gas flame size. Turn the burner on
to determine if it will light. If the burner does not light, contact a
Service Center. Do not service the sealed burner yourself.
It is very important to be sure that all surface burner caps and
burner grates are properly installed and in the correct locations
before operating the cooktop burners.
The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A
good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted
room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharply
defined. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange. To
clean burner, see “Cleaning Surface Burner Heads” on page
page 51.
For all Burners:
• Place a burner cap on each burner head (Figure 4),
matching the cap size to the head size. The cap for each
burner has an inner locating ring which centers the cap
correctly on the burner head. Be sure that all the burner
caps and burner heads are correctly placed BEFORE using
your appliance.
• Always keep surface burner caps in place whenever using
a surface burner.
• When placing the burner caps, be sure that all burner caps
are seated firmly and rest level on top of burner heads.
• For proper flow of gas and ignition of burners do not allow
spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter
the gas orifice port opening.
• Burner heads are fixed. Do not try to remove them.
On round style burners, the burner cap lip (Figure 5) should fit
snug into the center of burner head and rest level.
Refer to Figure 7 for correct and incorrect burner cap place-
ment.
Once in place, you may check the fit by gently sliding the burner
cap from side to side to be sure it is centered and firmly seated
(Figure 7). When the burner cap lip makes contact inside the
center of the burner head you will be able to hear the burner
cap click. Please note that the burner cap should NOT move off
the center of the burner head when sliding from side to side.
Check and be sure that all oval style (some models) burner
caps are correctly in place on oval burner heads.
