Checking Burner Cap Placement

•Check each burner to make sure there is no gap between the burner cap and burner base. See Figure 6 and Figure 7 for examples of correct and incorrect placements of the burner cap.

•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 in Figure 6.

Burner Cap Placement

The burner caps must be properly placed on the burner bases for the rangetop 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.

WARNING:

To prevent burns, do not touch burner caps or grates while hot. Turn the rangetop off and allow the burners to cool.
