Check Burner Cap Placement Before Operating
the Surface Burners
To prevent are-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 ame 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 rmly and rest level on top of burner heads.
For proper ow of gas and ignition of burners DO NOT
allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material
to enter the gas ori ce port opening.
Round Style Burners
The burner cap lip (See Fig. 1) should t 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 t by gently sliding the burner cap
from side to side (Fig. 4) to be sure it is centered and rmly
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 o the center of
the burner head when sliding from side to side.

rest level on the burner head before operating.
Check the t for each cap using the same method for the
