Using the Rangetop Sealed STAR® Burners Burner Cap Placement Each cap has a letter (B, D, or F) cast in the underside of the cap that corresponds to a letter (B, D, or F) cast in the burner base that is attached to the appliance. 1. Place each burner cap on its correct burner base per its corresponding letter designation. See figure below. Checking Burner Cap Placement • Check each burner to make sure there is no gap between the burner cap and burner base. See the figures below to see 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 the figure. 2. Place burner cap gently on top of base so that the prongs of the burner base fit snugly into the groove of the burner cap. 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. Burner Grate Placement Ensure the burner grates are properly placed on the rangetop before using the surface burners. The grates are designed to rest inside the recess on the rangetop. To install burner grates, place grates flat-side down and align into the rangetop recess. Grates should rest flush against each other and against the sides of the recess. WARNING To prevent flare-ups and avoid the creation of harmful by-products, DO NOT use the rangetop without all burner caps and all burner grates properly positioned. WARNING To prevent burns, DO NOT touch burner caps or grates while hot. Turn the rangetop off and allow the burners to cool. Page. 15
