Abstract: A burner of a gas cooking appliance is mounted through a turn and lock mechanism established between a support member mounted below a cooktop of the appliance and a holder attached to the burner. More specifically, the holder and support member include interengaging structure, allowing the holder to be initially attached to and then twist secured upon the support member. In addition, locating structure is provided to assure the holder is appropriately positioned for proper alignment of the turn and lock mechanism. Furthermore, upon twisting the holder relative to the support member, locking structure retains the holder in a desired, operational position.
