Before Setting Surface Controls
Check burner cap placement before operating the surface burners
To prevent flare-ups and avoid creation of 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.
Remember:
• 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 Fig. 1) should fit snug into the center of burner head and rest level.
Refer to Figs. 2 & 3 for correct and incorrect burner cap placement. Once in place, you may check the fit by gently sliding the burner cap from side to side (Fig. 4) 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. Please note that the burner cap should NOT move off the center of the burner head when sliding from side to side.
caps are correctly in place on oval burner heads.
Installing burner grates
Do not use the surface burners without the burner caps and burner grates properly installed. Missing pieces or improper installation may lead to spills, burns, or damage to your range and cookware.
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
Fig. 5).
