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

Double Ring Style Burners
The Double Ring burner only operates properly with two
burner caps in place. Be sure the burner cap lips are
positioned facing down towards the burner head (Fig. 5)
and into the recessed areas (Fig. 6) on each side of the
burner head. Be sure both burner caps are seated
fi
rmly and
rest level on the burner head before operating.
Check the
fi

round burner caps by gently sliding each cap from side to
