Gas surface burner types
The cooktop is equipped with gas surface burn-
ers with different BTU ratings. The ability to heat
food quickly and in large amounts increases as the
burner size increases.
• Small burners are best used for low-
fl ame heat-
ing of small amounts of food.
• Standard burners can be used for most surface
cooking needs.
• The largest burner is best used for bringing large
quantities of liquid rapidly up to temperature or
when preparing larger quantities of food. The
large burner is located at the right front position
on the cooktop.
Regardless of size, always select cookware that is
suitable for the amount and type of food being pre-
pared. Select a burner and set the fl ame size appro-
priately for the pan. Never allow fl ames to extend
beyond the outer edge of the pan.
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 locations.
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 fi t snug into the center of the burner head
and rest level. Refer to Figure 2 for correct and in-
correct burner cap placement.
CAUTION
• Do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or
any other material to enter the gas ori fi ce
holder opening.
• Always keep the burner caps and burner heads
in place whenever the surface burners are in
use.
• Never place fl ammable items on the cooktop.
Once in place, you may check the fi t by gently slid-
ing the burner cap from side to side (Figure 2) to
be sure it is centered and fi rmly 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.
