A. Burner cap
B. Gas tube opening
C. Burner base
IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air around the burner grate edges.
Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a
surface burner. A clean burner cap will help avoid poor ignition and
uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover and
routinely remove and clean the caps according to the "General
Cleaning" section.
Alignment: Be sure to align the gas tube opening in the burner
base with the orifice holder on the cooktop and the igniter
electrode with the notch in the burner base. Your range comes
with 3 sizes of burners and caps. Each round burner base is
marked with letters indicating the burner size.
Gas tube opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas
tube opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free
of soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or any other
material to enter the gas tube opening. Keep spillovers out of the
gas tube by always using a burner cap.

and shape as shown in the previous illustration. A good flame
is blue in color, not yellow. Keep this area free of soil and do not
allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or any other material to enter
the burner ports.
