The knobs are grouped in twos. The left two knobs operate the left two burners, and the right two knobs control the two right burners. On E36DF76EPS and E48DF76EPS ranges, there are a total of six burners, including two burners rated at a maximum output of 17,000 BTU/HR, two burners rated at a maximum of 15,000 BTU/HR and two burners rated at a maximum output of 8,500 BTU/HR. The knobs are positioned to correspond with the burner layout. BRASS BURNER RINGS All burners are attached to the cooktop by retaining nuts. Gaskets around the undersides of the burner bases ensure that the burners are sealed, thereby preventing any liquid spills from entering the cooktop chassis. All spills remain on the surface of the cooktop. The brass burner heads spread the flame evenly around the burner perimeters. The burner heads must seat properly in the burner bases to enable proper cooktop operation. To ensure proper seating, positioning tabs have been placed on the bottom of each burner head to slide into corresponding notches in the fixed burner base. BURNER IGNITORS Figure 3 Burner Assembly A burner igniter is located on each gas burner base. When a control knob is rotated more than 90 degrees counterclockwise, the ignitor will spark and the selected burner will ignite. Additionally, due to Vantage Flame™, the automatic reignition feature, the igniters will spark automatically if a flame should blow out or be severely distorted by a draft or by a ventilation system. Burner igniters must always be kept clean and dry to function properly. Dirty or wet igniters will result in constant sparking, even if there is a flame present. See Figure 3.
