Before Setting Surface Controls
Check burner cap placement
before operating the
surface burners
To prevent
flare-ups
and avoid
creation
of
harmful
by-products,
do not use the cooktop
without
all burner
caps properly
installed
to insure proper
ignition
and gas flame
size.
On round style burners, the burner
cap lip (See Fig. I) should fit
snug into the center
of burner
head
and rest level. Refer to Figs.
2 & 3 for correct
and incorrect
burner
cap placement.
Once in
place, you may check the fit by gently
sliding
the burner
cap
from side to side (Fig. 4) to be sure it is centered
and firmly
seated.
When
the burner cap
lip makes contact
inside the
center
of the burner
head
you will be able to hear the burner
cap click.
Please note that the burner cap should
NOT move off
the center
of the burner
head when sliding
from side to side.
Check and be sure that all oval style (some models)
burner
caps
are correctly
in place on oval burner
heads.
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 cooktop
burners.
Remember:
Always
keep surface
burner
caps in place whenever
using a
surface
burner.
When
placing
the burner caps, be sure that all burner
caps
are seated firmly
and rest level on top of burner
heads.
For proper
flow
of gas and ignition
of burners
DO NOT
allow
spills, food,
cleaning
agents
or any other material
to enter the gas orifice
port opening.
Installing
burner
grates
Do not use the surface
burners
without
the
burner caps and burner
grates
properly
installed.
Missing pieces
or improper
installation
may lead to spills, burns, or damage
to
your range and cookware.
Make
sure the burner grates
are properly
placed
on the cooktop
before
using the surface
burners. The grates are designed
to rest
inside the recess on the cooktop.
To install
burner
grates,
place grates
flat-side
down and align
into the cooktop
recess. Grates
should
rest flush against
each
other and against
the sides of the recess.
