Assembly of the burner caps 

Make sure that all of the surface burner caps and surface 
burner grates are installed correctly and at the correct loca-
tions.

1.

Remove all packing material from the cooktop area.

2.

Make sure burner caps are properly placed on the 
surface burners.

3.

Unpack the burner grates and position them on the 
cooktop.

4.

Discard all packing material.

On round-style burners, the burner cap lip (

Figure 1

) should 

fit snug into the center of the burner head and rest level. 
Refer to 

Figure 2

 for correct and incorrect burner cap place-

ment.

Figure 2:

Proper burner cap placement

Once in place, you may check the fit by gently sliding the 
burner cap from side to side (

Figure 3

) 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.

Gently move cap for proper placement

Figure 1:

Burner caps and burner heads

Do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or any 
other material to enter the gas orifice holder opening.

Always keep the burner caps and burner heads in 
place whenever the surface burners are in use.

Never place flammable items on the cooktop.

CAUTION

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 burner caps 
(some models) are correctly in place on oval burner 
heads. 

Do not use the surface burners without the burner 
caps properly installed. Improperly seated burner 
caps may prevent burners from lighting or cause 
uneven flame and heating.

Missing pieces or improper installation may lead to 
spills, burns, or damage to your range and cookware.

Never place flammable items on the cooktop.
