Abstract: An assembly for mounting sealed gas burners in a gas stove has a cabinet including upstanding side walls and a main top with spaced-apart burner openings therein mounted on the upstanding side walls. The assembly includes a sub-top mounted on the upstanding side walls of the stove cabinet substantially parallel to and beneath the stove main top so as to effectively span the area bounded by the upstanding side walls of the stove cabinet. The sub-top is adapted for functional connection thereto of gas burners. The assembly is adapted for mounting the sub-top on the upstanding side walls of the stove cabinet. Each of the gas burners extend through a correspondingly positioned opening in the stove main top and are connected to the sub-top in such manner that the main top may be removed from the stove without disturbing the functional connection of the gas burners to the sub-top.
