Getting Started 13 Placement of burner heads and caps For the 18 000 BTU burner : Place the burner head over the gas orifice (Figure 2). Be careful not to damage the electrode while placing the burner head over the orifice. Make sure electrode fits correctly into slot in burner head. For all burners : Place a burner cap on each burner head (see Figure 1), 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. Proper burner adjustments 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 instructions under General Care & Cleaning. Surface cooking utensils Make sure each burner cap is properly aligned and level. 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. Burner Cap Burner Head Figure 1 Burner Cap Burner Head Pans should have flat bottoms.
