Placement of burner heads
and caps
For the 18 000 BTU burner :
Place the burner head over the gas orifice (Figure
2). Be careful not to damage the electrode while
placing the burner head over the orifice. Make
sure electrode fits correctly into slot in burner head.
For all burners :
Place a burner cap on each burner head (see
Figure 1), matching the cap size to the head size.
The cap for each burner has an inner locating
ring which centers the cap correctly on the burner
head. Be sure that all the burner caps and burner
heads are correctly placed BEFORE using your
appliance.
Make sure each burner cap is properly aligned and
level.
Turn the burner on to determine if it will light. If the
burner does not light, contact a Service Center. Do
not service the sealed burner yourself.

Proper burner adjustments
The color of the flame is the key to proper burner
adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and hardly
visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame
should be steady and sharply defined. Adjust or
clean burner if flame is yellow-orange. To clean
burner, see instructions under General Care &
Cleaning.
Surface cooking utensils
Pans should have flat bottoms. Check for flatness by
rotating a ruler across the bottom. There should be
no gaps between the pan and ruler.
* Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and
pressure cookers may be used but must conform to
the recommended cookware requirements.
*GOOD
• Flat bottom and
straight sides.
• Tight fitting lids.
• Weight of handle
does not tilt pan. Pan
is well balanced.
• Pan sizes match the
amount of food to be
prepared and the size
of burner.
• Made of material that
conducts heat well.
• Easy to clean.
Note: Always use a utensil for its intended
purpose. Follow manufacturer's instructions. Some
Figure 2
utensils were not made to be used in the oven or
on the cooktop.
