Whirlpool 4322452 manual Relighting a Standing Pilot

Page 36

When the gas control valve is turned on, gas flows to the burner head, and out the ports. There are ports at both the top and side of the burner head, as shown in Figure 3-25. The side ports direct gas to a flash tube, where it is drawn through the tube to the pilot flame, where it is ignited inside the tube. The ignited gas is then flashed back to the main burner, where gas from the top ports is ignited by the pilot flame. The burning gas from the pilot also helps to draw gas through the tube for combustion.

RELIGHTING A STANDING PILOT

Caution: If the pilot has been out for some time and you detect a strong odor of gas, ventilate the room before trying to relight the pilot.

Turn off all range controls and prop open the cooktop. Place a lighted match near the opening of the pilot, located midway between two burners, as shown in Figure 3-26. If the pilot does not stay lit, clean, or adjust it.
