Burner Test - Thermador PCG305W Installation Instructions Manual

Burner Test

Install any loose components, such as burner caps and
grates that may have been removed earlier. Be certain that
burner caps seat properly into the burner bases. Before
testing operation of the appliance, verify that the unit and
the gas supply have been carefully checked for leaks and
that the unit has been connected to the electrical power
supply. Turn the manual gas shut-off valve to the open
position.
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.
• 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.
The burner caps must be properly placed on the burner
bases for the rangetop 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 rangetop 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 rangetop 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 figures
below for correct and incorrect burner cap placement
to see examples 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 the figures.
Burner Grate Placement
Ensure the burner grates are properly placed on the
rangetop before using the surface burners. The grates are
designed to rest inside the recess on the rangetop.
To install burner grates, place grates flat-side down and
align into the rangetop recess. Grates should rest flush
against each other and against the sides of the recess.
