9 WARNING
To prevent flare-ups and avoid the creation of harmful
by-products, do not use the rangetop without all
burner caps and all burner grates properly positioned.
9 WARNING
To prevent burns, do not touch burner caps or grates
while hot. Turn the rangetop off and allow the burners
to cool.
Burner cap placement
The burner caps must be properly placed on the burner
bases for the cooktop to function properly. If the burner
cap is not properly placed, one or more of the following
problems may occur:
• Burner flames are too high.
• Flames shoot out of burners.
• Burners do not ignite.
• Burner flames light unevenly.
• Burner emits gas odor.
Each cap has a letter (B, D, or F) cast in the underside of
the cap that corresponds to a letter (B, D, or F) cast in the
burner base that is attached to the appliance.
To place the burner caps
1. Place each burner cap on its correct burner base per
its corresponding letter designation.
2. Place burner cap gently on top of base so that the
prongs of the burner base fit snugly into the groove of
the burner cap.
Checking the burner cap placement
• Check each burner to make sure there is no gap
between the burner cap and burner base.
• You may gently try to move the burner caps from side
to side to check if the caps are properly placed on the
burner bases.
• When properly placed, each burner cap will rest flat
on top of its burner base, and completely cover the
star-shape of the burner base when viewed from the
top as shown below.
Burner grate placement
To install the burner grates
1. Place grates flat-side down and align into the
rangetop recess.
2. Grates should rest flush against each other and
against the sides of the recess.
