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.

E3 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.

E4 The Burner Flames
