Before Setting Surface Controls
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.
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.
Important notes:
• 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.
On round style burners, the burner cap lip (See Figure 5) should
fit snug into the center of burner head and rest level.
Refer to Figure 6 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 (See 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.
Installing Burner Grates
Surface elements may appear to have cooled
after they have been turned off. The surface element may still
be hot and burns may occur if the surface element is touched
before it has cooled sufficiently.
Make sure the burner grates are properly placed on the cooktop
before using the surface burners. The grates are designed to rest
inside the recess on the cooktop.
To install burner grates, place grates flat-side down and align
into the cooktop recess. Grates should rest flush against each
other and against the sides of the recess (See Figure 8).
