Step 3 - Replace the burners, burner caps 

and grates
Replace the burners, burner caps and grates. Be sure 

the grates are correctly placed and the rubber feet on the 

grates engage the indents in the cooktop for proper 

position.

WARNING

To prevent flare-ups, do not use the cooktop 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 cooktop off and allow the 

burners to cool.

The burner caps must be properly placed for the cooktop 

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.

Stainless steel discolors.

Burners do not ignite.

Burner flames light unevenly.

Burner emits gas odor.

Burner Cap and Burner Base Placement

After electrical connection is complete, place each

burner base on the corresponding location on the

cooktop. One of the three bars on the burner base

should line up with the notch and prevent the base

from rotating. The small hole or cutout near the edge

should also line up with the igniter. Pay special

attention to avoid damaging the igniter during

installation of the base. See Illustration below.

Once each base is located and resting evenly, place

each burner cap on its correct burner base. See

Illustration.

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.

If the maintop is removed by a certified installer (for

example to check electrical or piping connection) the

panhead screws that were removed must be re-

installed to ensure proper functionality of burners.

Placing Burner Caps and Bases

Checking Burner Cap Placement

Check to make sure that there is no gap between the

burner cap and burner base. See illustration below for

correct and incorrect placements of the burner cap.

You may gently try to move the burner cap from side

to side to check if it is properly placed. If properly

placed, the cap will click from side to side as the

prongs hit the groove ridge.
