The location of the groove prevents fluid and dust from collecting inside the groove. The groove captures the flammable gas-air mixture, which provides a constant ignition source for the gas-air mixture through slots in the burner cap when ignited.This improved version of a multi piece gas burner assembly has simplified parts and has locating bosses moved to the outer edge of the gas burner assembly for simpler fixing of the components. Also, the burner cap now overlaps and rests on the b…
