COOKTOP USE

ELECTRONIC IGNITERS

IGNITER (keep clean)

If a burner does not ignite, listen for the clicking sound. If the igniter is not clicking, TURN OFF THE BURNER. Check the circuit breaker for a blown fuse or a tripped circuit breaker. If the igniter still fails to operate, see page 28,“Before Calling For Service”. To light the burner manually, see page 27, ”Power Failure”.

NOTE: If you are using propane gas, a slight pop or flash may occur at the burner ports a few seconds after the burner has been turned “off”. This “extinction pop” is normal for propane gas.

BURNER EFFICIENCY AND FLAME CHARACTERISTICS

It is necessary to keep the burner ports and the igniters clean for proper lighting and efficient performance of the cooktop burners.

The burner flame should burn completely around the burner with no excessive noise or lifting. The flame should be blue in color and stable with no yellow tips.

An improper air-gas mixture may cause either a burner flutter or a yellow tipped flame. A technician should adjust the flame. During initial use,foreign particles in the gas line,or dust in or in the air around the appliance may cause an orange flame. This will disappear with use.
