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.
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.
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
