Gas surface burner types
The cooktop is equipped with gas surface burners
with different BTU ratings. The ability to heat food
quickly and in large amounts increases as the burn-
er size increases.
•
Small burners are best used for low-flame heat-
ing of small amounts of food.
•
Standard burners can be used for most surface
cooking needs.
•
The largest burner is best used for bringing large
quantities of liquid rapidly up to temperature or
when preparing larger quantities of food. The
large burner is located at the right front position
on the cooktop.
Regardless of size, always select cookware that is
suitable for the amount and type of food being pre-
pared. Select a burner and set the flame size appro-
priately for the pan. Never allow flames to extend
beyond the outer edge of the pan.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Assembly of the Burner Caps
Make sure that all of the surface burner caps and
surface burner grates are installed correctly and at
the correct locations.
1. Remove all packing material from the cooktop
area.
2. Make sure burner head and caps are properly
placed on the surface burners.
Important: The burner head has a hole which fits
over the ignitor. Make sure the head fits snugly be-
fore placing the burner caps.
Note: Unpack the burner grates and position them
on the cooktop after the burner heads and caps are
properly installed.
