Electronic Ignition System

Initial lighting and gas flame adjustments

Cooktop 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

Standard Surface 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 that 4 seconds to light because of air in the gas line.
