Assemble burners as shown. Check to be sure that burner heads and caps are securely seated. Pin(s) must completely engage holes to ensure proper assembly.

• Check for proper ignition: – Push in one control knob and turn 90° to Lite position. – The igniter will spark and the burner will light; the

igniter will cease sparking when the burner is lit.

– First test may require some time while air is flushed

out of the gas line. – Turn knob to OFF. – Repeat the procedure for each burner.

IMPORTANT: If the igniter electrodes continue to spark after the burners are lit, check that each burner component is assembled and seated properly by observing constant gaps between each layer. Disassemble and reassemble as required.

• Burner flames should be blue and stable with no yellow or yellow tips, excessive noise or lifting of the flame from the burner. If any of these conditions exist, check that the burner ports are not blocked.

To aid reassembly, each brass burner head is marked with a clock face. Replace the burner head with the arrow pointing to the rear of the cooktop (12 o’clock position).
