Assembly of the Surface Burner Heads, Burner Caps, Burner Grates

It is very important to make sure that all of the Surface Burner Heads,

Surface Burner Caps and Surface Burner Grates are installed correctly and at the correct locations.

1.Place all 4 (four) or 5 (five) Burner Heads in the correct locations (See Figure 1). Make sure that the correct Burner Head is placed with the corresponding Gas opening and that the Electrode is located properly in the slot of each Burner Head (See Figure 2). Proper Burner Head placement insures that each Burner will have the correct spark required for surface gas ignition.

2.Place the correct Burner Caps at each of the burner locations. Each of the Burner Heads MUST have a Burner Cap installed to insure proper ignition and gas flame size (See Figure 2).

3.Place the 2 (two) or 3 (three) cast iron Burner Grates supplied with the range. Carefully lift the burners grates on to the cooktop over the burners. Properly installed Burner Grates will rest with all Grate legs on the cooktop.

REMEMBER -- DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD, CLEANING AGENTS OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS OPENING. Always keep the Burner Caps and Burner Heads in place whenever the surface burners are in use.
