Electronic Ignition System

Initial lighting and gas flame adjustments

Cooktop burners use pilotless igniters in place of standing pilots. When the cooktop control knob is turned to the “LITE” position, the system creates a spark to light the burner. This sparking continues, as long as the control knob is turned to “LITE.”

Check Operation of Cooktop Burners

Standard Surface Burners

Push in and turn each control knob to the “LITE” position.

The flame should light within 4 seconds. The first time a burner is lit, it may take longer than 4 seconds to light because of air in the gas line.

If burners do not light properly:

■Turn cooktop control knob to the “OFF” position.

■Check that the range is plugged in and the circuit breaker has not tripped or the household fuse has not blown.

■Check that the gas shutoff valve is set to the “open” position.

■Check that burner caps are properly positioned on burner bases.

Repeat start-up. If a burner does not light at this point, turn the control knobs to “Off” and contact your dealer or authorized service company for assistance.

Tap Touch Surface Burners (on some models)

Tap the “On” pad for the cooktop control.

Tap the + or - to adjust the cooktop burner flame height. The flame should light within 4 seconds. The first time a burner is lit, it may take longer than 4 seconds to light because of air in the gas line.

If burners do not light properly:

■Tap the “Off” pad for the cooktop control.

■Check that the range is plugged in and the circuit breaker has not tripped or the household fuse has not blown.

■Check that the gas shutoff valve is set to the “open” position.

■Check that burner caps are properly positioned on burner bases.

Repeat start-up. If a burner does not light at this point, tap the “Off” pad for the cooktop control and contact your dealer or authorized service company for assistance.

Adjust Flame Height

Adjust the height of top burner flames. The cooktop “low” burner flame should be a steady blue flame approximately ¼" (0.64 cm) high.

A.Low flame

B.High flame

To adjust standard burners:

The flame can be adjusted using the adjustment screw in the center of the valve stem. The valve stem is located directly underneath the control knob.

If the “low” flame needs to be adjusted:

1.Light 1 burner and turn to lowest setting.

2.Remove the control knob.

Hold the knob stem in the low position using a pair of pliers. Use an ¹⁄₈" (3.0 mm) flat-blade screwdriver to turn the screw located in the center of the control knob stem until the flame is the proper size.

3.Replace the control knob.

4.Test the flame by turning the control from “LO” to “HI,” checking the flame at each setting.

5.Repeat above steps for each burner.
