Before Setting Surface Controls 9 BURNER CAP PLACEMENT Check burner cap placement before operating the surface burners. To prevent flare-ups and avoid creation of harmful by-products, do not use the cooktop without all burner caps properly installed to insure proper ignition and gas flame size. Turn the burner on to determine if it will light. If the burner does not light, contact a Service Center. Do not service the sealed burner yourself. It is very important to be sure that all surface burner caps and burner grates are properly installed and in the correct locations before operating the cooktop burners. On round style burners, the burner cap lip (Figure 5) should fit snug into the center of burner head and rest level.

The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharply defined. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange. To clean burner, see "Cleaning Surface Burner Heads" on page page 50. For all Burners: • Place a burner cap on each burner head (Figure 4), matching the cap size to the head size. The cap for each burner has an inner locating ring which centers the cap correctly on the burner head. Be sure that all the burner caps and burner heads are correctly placed BEFORE using your appliance. • Always keep surface burner caps in place whenever using a surface burner. • When placing the burner caps, be sure that all burner caps are seated firmly and rest level on top of burner heads. • For proper flow of gas and ignition of burners do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter the gas orifice port opening. • Burner heads are fixed. Do not try to remove them.

When the burner cap lip makes contact inside the center of the burner head you will be able to hear the burner cap click. Please note that the burner cap should NOT move off the center of the burner head when sliding from side to side. Check and be sure that all oval style (some models) burner caps are correctly in place on oval burner heads. Figure 4: Burner cap and head Figure 7: Checking the fit
