The Burner Flames
Turn each burner on. Flames should be blue in color with no
trace of yellow. The burner flames should not flutter or blow
away from the burner. The inner cone of the flame should be
between 1/2" and 3/4" long.
Super Sealed Surface Burners
IMPORTANT
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air
around the burner grate edges.
Burner cap and gas spreader
Always keep the burner cap and gas spreader in place when
using a surface burner. A clean burner cap and spreader will
help prevent poor ignition and uneven flames. Always clean
the parts after a spillover and routinely remove and clean

Gas must flow freely throughout the injector orifice to light
properly. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills,
food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter the injector
orifice opening.
Protect it during cleaning.
