Before Setting Surface; Installing Burner Grates - Kenmore 790. 7260 Use & Care Manual

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.
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.
On round style burners, the burner cap lip (See Fig. 1)
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.

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 (See
Fig. 5).
