Using the Cooktop

Sealed STAR
Burner Cap Placement
Each cap has a letter (B, D, or F) cast in the underside of
the cap that corresponds to a letter (B, D, or F) cast in the
burner base that is attached to the appliance.
• Place each burner cap on its correct burner base per
its corresponding letter designation. See figure below.
Figure 7: STAR Burner Components
• Place burner cap gently on top of base so that the
prongs of the burner base fit snugly into the groove of
the burner cap.
Burners Caps
The burner caps must be properly placed on the burner
bases for the cooktop to function properly. If the burner cap
is not properly placed, one or more of the following
problems may occur:
• Burner flames are too high.
• Flames shoot out of burners.
• Burners do not ignite.
• Burner flames light unevenly.
• Burner emits gas odor.
WARNING
To prevent flare-ups and avoid the creation of harmful
by-products, do not use the cooktop without all burner
caps and all burner grates properly positioned.
WARNING
To prevent burns, do not touch burner caps or grates
while hot. Turn the cooktop off and allow the burners to
cool.

Checking Burner Cap Placement
• Check each burner to make sure there is no gap
between the burner cap and burner base. See
Figure 8: Correct and Incorrect Burner Cap Placement
to see examples of correct and incorrect placements of
the burner cap.
• You may gently try to move the burner caps from side
to side to check if the caps are properly placed on the
burner bases. When properly placed, each burner cap
will rest flat on top of its burner base, and completely
cover the star-shape of the burner base when viewed
from the top as shown in Figure 8.

Burner Grate Placement
Ensure 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.
