Electronic Ignition System — initial lighting

Cooktop burners use electronic igniters in place of standing pilots. When the cooktop control knob is pushed in and turned to the “LITE” position, the system creates a spark to light the burner. This sparking continues until the control knob is turned to the desired setting.

15. Check operation of the cooktop burners. Push in and turn each control knob to “LITE” position. The flame should light within 4 seconds. Do Not leave the knob in the “LITE” position after burner lights.

If burners do not light properly, turn control knob to the “OFF” position. Check that burner cap is in the proper position. Check that power supply cord is plugged in and that circuit breaker or house fuse has not blown. Check that the shutoff valve is in the “ON” position. Check operation again. If a burner does not light at this point, contact your KitchenAid dealer for assistance.

16. Push in and turn each control knob to the “LO” (or simmer) setting. The “LO” setting of each burner has been factory set to the lowest setting possible to provide a stable flame. If it does not stay lit on the “LO” setting, check “LO” setting as follows:

a. Turn control to “LITE” until burner ignites.

b. Quickly turn knob down to LOWEST POSITION.

c. If burner goes out, readjust valve as follows:

Remove the burner control knob. Insert a flat-blade screwdriver into the hollow valve stem and engage the slotted screw. Flame size can be increased or decreased by turning the screw. Adjust flame until you can quickly turn knob from the “HI” to “LO” position without extinguishing the flame. Flame should be as small as possible without going out.
