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 aii burner caps
property installed to insure proper ignition and gas flame size.
It is very important to be sure that aii surface burner caps
and burner grates are property 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
aflow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material
to enter the gas orifice port opening.
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 feel it. Please
note that the burner cap should NOT move off the center of
the burner head when sliding from side to side.
