Installation Notes

Installation of this burner cap does not require tools but should be performed with the cooktop fully off and burners allowed to cool completely before handling. Ensure the burner cap is seated flush and level on the burner base before returning the appliance to service. An improperly seated cap can cause uneven flames or ignition issues. If the appliance uses LP or natural gas, no gas line disconnection is required for this surface-level replacement.
