2.Test all connections by brushing on an approved noncorrosive leak-detection solution. If bubbles appear, a leak is indicated. Correct any leak found.

3.Remove cooktop burner caps, grates and simmer plate from parts package. Align notches in burner caps with pins in burner base. Burner caps should be level when properly positioned. If burner caps are not properly positioned, surface burners will not light. Place burner grates over burners and caps.

Electronic Ignition System

Initial lighting and gas flame adjustments

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

Check Operation of Cooktop Burners

Push in and turn each control knob to the “LITE” position.

The flame should light within 4 seconds. The first time a burner is lit it may take longer than 4 seconds to light because of air in the gas line.

If burners do not light properly:

■Turn cooktop control knob to the “OFF” position.

■Check that the range is plugged in and the circuit breaker has not tripped or the fuse has not blown.

■Check that the gas shutoff valves are set to the “open” position.

■Check that burner caps are properly positioned on burner bases.

Repeat start-up. If a burner does not light at this point, contact your dealer or authorized service company for assistance.
