Before using for the first time Carry out these steps before using your appliance.
¡ The appliance must be properly installed by a qualified
service provider before use.
¡ Read and understand all safety precautions → Page 3
and information in the Use and Care Guide prior to op-
erating.
¡ This Use and Care Guide covers several models. Not
all features are available on all models.
5.1 Burner cap placement
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 may occur:
¡ Burner flames are too high
¡ Flames shoot out of the burners
¡ Stainless steel discolorations
¡ Burners do not ignite
¡ Burner flames light unevenly
¡ Burner emits gas odor
WARNING
To prevent flare-ups do not use the cooktop without all
burner caps and all burner grates properly positioned.
CAUTION
To prevent burns, do not touch burner caps or grates while
hot.
▶
Turn the cooktop off and allow the burners to cool.
Your rangetop has sealed STAR® burners. There are no
burner parts under the rangetop to clean, disassemble or
adjust.
Placing the burner caps
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.
2. Place the burner cap gently on top of base so that the
prongs of the burner base fit snugly into the groove of
the burner cap.
3.
Check each burner to make sure there is no gap be-
tween the burner cap and burner base.
‒
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 rests flat on
top of its burner base, and completely covers the
star-shape of the burner base when viewed from the
top.
5.2 Placing the burner grates
For proper combustion do not use the rangetop without
the burner grates in place.
1. Place the burner grates flat-side down and align them
into the rangetop recess.
2.
The burner grates should rest flush against each other
and against the sides of the recess.
