Assembly of the Surface Burner Heads, Burner Caps and
Burner Grates
It is very important to make sure that all of the Burner Heads, Burner
Caps & Burner Grates are installed correctly and at the correct
locations (Note: The gas burners are factory installed in their correct
locations).
1. Match the letter located under the center of each Burner Cap with
the letter located inside the Burner Head (See Fig. 1).
2. Match the letter stamped on the Burner Skirt with the Burner Head
and Burner Cap. Each of the five Burner Heads MUST have a
Burner Cap installed to insure proper ignition and gas flame size.
The Caps must be in place with the Pilot Hole facing up BEFORE
placing the Burner Grates (See Fig. 2). Note: The Burner
Electrodes must be located properly in the slot of each Burner
Head (See Fig. 2).
3. Carefully line-up the two outer Grates with the Cap Pilot Holes in
the 2 Burner Caps on each side of the range (The outer Grates
have two Grate Pins each).
4. Repeat for the center Grate with 1 grate pin (The center Grate has
only ONE grate pin).
DO NOT force the Burner Grates onto the Burner Caps. Forcing the
grates down onto improperly installed Burner Heads and Burner Caps
may damage the gas burners. Visually check that ALL the Grate Pins
line up into the Burner Cap Pilot Holes (See Fig. 2). A properly installed
Burner Grate should rest with all four Grate legs on the cooktop.
REMEMBER -- DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD, CLEANING
AGENTS OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS ORIFICE
HOLDER OPENING. Always keep the Burner Caps and Burner Heads
in place whenever the surface burners are in use. If burner orifice
becomes blocked with food spillage, service would be required.
