E1 Checking the Igniters

Operation of the electric igniters should be checked after the cooktop and supply line have been carefully checked for leaks and the cooktop has been connected to the electrical power.

a.Push and turn a burner valve to the LITE position.

•The burner valve should light when gas is available to the burner

•Once the burner lights, it should be turned out of the LITE position.

b.Try each valve separately until all burners have been checked.

E2 Burner Ignition

Cooktop Spark Ignition—When you turn the cooktop knob to LITE, the spark igniter makes a series of electric sparks (ticking sounds) which light the burner.

During a power failure, the burners will not light automatically. In an emergency, a cooktop burner may be lit with a match by following the steps below.

WARNING: Lighting gas burners with a match is dangerous. You should match light the cooktop burners only in an emergency.

a.Light a match and hold the flame near the burner you want to light. Wooden matches work best.

b.Push in and turn the control knob slowly. Be sure you are turning the correct knob for the burner you are lighting.

NOTE: If the burner does not light within five seconds, turn the knob off and wait one minute before trying again.

E3 The Burner Flames

Turn all burners full on and check the flames. They should be blue in color with no trace of yellow. Foreign particles in the gas line may cause an orange flame at first, but this will soon disappear.

To make adjustments:

a. Remove the control knobs, grates and drip pans.

b. Lift up the cooktop (hinged in rear).

c. Use pliers to adjust the air shutter. Be sure to keep the gap in the air shutter facing straight up. Be very careful not to bend the air shutter when using pliers to make adjustments.

–If the flames were yellow or fluttered, open the air shutter more than the original setting.

–If the flames blew away from the burner, close the air shutter more than the original setting.
