• The cap should not be loose.

• The pegs in the burner base should fit into the recess on the underside of burner cap.

• Cap should be the correct size for each burner base.

•Cap must be clean and dry for proper ignition.

•Place grate over cap and burner base once cap is properly placed.

Testing and adjusting surface burner flame

A properly adjusted surface burner on a high setting has flames that are clean and blue with a distinct inner cone approximately 1/4" to 1/2" inch long. Some yellow flame is normal when burning LP/Propane.

Flames will not be a uniform size around the cap. This distribution around the cap and grate allows for optimal heating.

If burner flame is blowing or noisy, airflow should be reduced to the burner (close air shutter).

If burner flame is weak and does not hold its shape, airflow should be increased to the burner (open air shutter).
