3.14 Burner cap placement
Sealed burners
Your cooktop has sealed gas burners.
There are no burner parts under the cooktop to clean, dis-
assemble or adjust. Your cooktop has three different
burner sizes: small, large and dual-flame.
WARNING
To prevent flare-ups do not use the cooktop without all
burner caps and all burner grates properly positioned.
CAUTION
To prevent burns, do not touch burner caps or grates while
hot.
Turn the cooktop off and allow the burners to cool.
▶
The burner caps must be properly placed for the cooktop
to function properly.
Note
If the burner cap is not properly placed, one or more of the
following may occur:
¡ Burner flames are too high
¡ Flames shoot out of the burners
¡ Stainless steel discolorations
¡ Burners do not ignite
¡ Burner flames light unevenly
¡ Burner emits gas odor
Burner cap and burner base placement
After electrical connection is complete, place each burner
base on the corresponding location on the cooktop.
¡ One of the three bars on the burner base should line up
with the notch and prevent the base from rotating. The
small hole or cutout near the edge should also line up
with the igniter. Pay special attention to avoid damaging
the igniter during installation of the base. See Illustration
below.
¡ Once each base is located and resting evenly, place
each burner cap on its correct burner base. See Illustra-
tion.
¡ 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.
¡ If the maintop is removed by a certified installer (for ex-
ample to check electrical or gas connection) the pan-
head screws that were removed must be re-installed to
ensure proper functionality of burners.
Checking burner cap placement
Check to make sure that there is no gap between the
burner cap and burner base.
See illustration for correct and incorrect placements of the
burner cap.
You may gently try to move the burner cap from side to
side to check if it is properly placed. If properly placed, the
cap will click from side to side as the prongs hit the groove
ridge.
Install grates
First position the outer grates, followed by the center
grate.
If you only have two grates, the order in which you position
them is not relevant.
