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.

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.
