Assembly of the Surface Burner Heads, Burner Caps and
Burner Grates
It is very important to make sure that all of the Surface Burner Heads,
Surface Burner Caps and Surface Burner Grates are installed correctly
and at the correct locations.
1. Place all 4 Burner Heads in the correct locations (See Fig. 1). Make
sure that the correct Burner Head is placed with the corresponding
Orifice Holder and that the Electrode is located properly in the slot of
each Burner Head (See Fig. 2). Proper Burner Head placement
insures that each Burner will have the correct spark required for
surface gas ignition.
2. Place the correct Burner Caps at each of the burner locations (Burner
Cap Pilot Hole must face up). Each of the 4 (four) Burner Heads
MUST have a Burner Cap installed to insure proper ignition and gas
flame size and must be in place with the Pilot Hole facing up
BEFORE placing the Burner Grates (See Fig. 2).
3. Place the 2 (two) cast iron Burner Grates supplied with the range.
Carefully line-up the 2 Grate Pins on each Grate with the Cap Pilot
Holes in the 2 Burner Caps on each side of the range. DO NOT force
the Burner Grates onto the Burner Caps. Forcing the grates down
onto improperly installed Burner Heads and Burner Caps may damage
the gas burners. Each Burner Cap is designed with a Cap Pilot Hole
in the top center of the Cap. Visually check that ALL the Grate Pins
line up into the Burner Cap Pilot Holes (See Figure 2). Properly
installed Burner Grates will rest with all four Grate legs on the glass
cooktop.
REMEMBER -- DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD, CLEANING AGENTS
OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS ORIFICE HOLDER
OPENING. Always keep the Burner Caps and Burner Heads in place
whenever the surface burners are in use.
