25 - Gas Cooktop Burner Operation
The Burner Flames
Turn each burner on. Flames should be blue in color with no
trace of yellow. Tips of flames may occasionally turn yellow
momentarily - this is normal. Yellow flames are indicative of
low oxygen supply which may occur at higher altitudes. Some
higher altitude regions add oxygen to the natural gas supply
to compensate. The burner flames should not sputter or blow
away from the burner. The inner cone of the flame should be
between 1/2” and 3/4” long.
NOTE: • Foreign material in the gas line, especially in new
construction, may cause an orange flame during
initial operation. The orange color will disappear
with further use. Small yellow tips on the ends of the
flames are normal when using LP gas.
• If the flame is not even around the edge of the
burner, wait for the cooktop to cool and check to
make sure the burner is assembled properly and the
burner caps are seated correctly.
Super Sealed Surface Burners
IMPORTANT
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air
around the burner grate edges.
Burner cap and gas spreader
Always keep the burner cap and gas spreader in place when
using a surface burner. A clean burner cap and spreader will
help prevent poor ignition and uneven flames. Always clean
the parts after a spillover and routinely remove and clean
according to the “General Cleaning” section.
Burner base and injector
Gas must flow freely throughout the injector orifice to light
properly. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills,
food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter the injector
orifice opening.
Protect it during cleaning.
BURNER FLAME
Be sure when lighting the burner:
• Gas spreader is seated correctly and pin is properly aligned
with burner base slot.
• Cap is seated correctly and pin is properly aligned with gas
spreader slot.
Burner ports
Check burner flames occasionally. A good flame is blue in
color, not yellow.
Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food,
cleaning agents or any other material to enter the burner ports.
To Clean gas burner:
IMPORTANT
Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the
cooktop is cool.
1. Remove the burner cap from the burner base and clean
according to cleaning section.
2. Remove the burner spreader.
Clean the gas tube opening and burner port according to
cleaning section.
3. Clean the burner base with a damp cloth (keep the gas
injector area free of cleaning agents and any other material
from entering the injector orifice).
4. Replace the burner spreader and cap, making sure the
alignment pins are properly aligned with the slots.
5. Turn on the burner.
If the burner does not light, check cap and spreader
alignment. If the burner still does not light, do not service the
gas burner yourself.
Contact a trained repair specialist.
