Assembly of the Surface Burner Heads, Burner Caps,
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.
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
(Burner Cap Pilot Hole must face up). 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 with the Pilot Hole facing
up 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.
