It is very important to be sure that all surface
burner caps and burner grates are properly installed
and in the correct locations before operating the

place whenever the surface burners are in use. Do
not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other
material to enter the gas orifice holder openings.

matches the size of the burner head. Check and be
sure that all round style burner caps are correctly in
place on round burner heads.

cap placement.
Once in place, you may check the fit by gently
sliding the burner cap from side to side to be sure it
is centered and firmly seated. Please note that the
burner cap should NOT move off the center of the
