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.
Figure 2
located properly in slot of
each Burner Head
1. Place all 4 (four) or 5 (five) Burner Heads in the correct locations
(See Figure 1). Make sure that the correct Burner Head is placed
with the corresponding Gas opening and that the Electrode is
located properly in the slot of each Burner Head (See Figure 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.
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 BEFORE placing the Burner Grates (See Figure 2).
3. Place the 2 (two) or 3 (three) cast iron Burner Grates supplied with
the range. Carefully lift the burners grates on to the cooktop over
the burners. Properly installed Burner Grates will rest with all Grate
legs on the cooktop.
REMEMBER -- DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD, CLEANING
AGENTS OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS
OPENING. Always keep the Burner Caps and Burner Heads in place
whenever the surface burners are in use.
