Check Operation of Surface Burners

1.Push in and turn the surface burners control knobs to the “LITE” position.

The surface burner flame should light within 4 seconds. The first time a surface burner is lit it may take longer than

10 seconds to light because of air in the gas line.

2.Check the flame on HI for a blue color. It should be clean and soft in character. No yellow tip, blowing or lifting of flame should occur. Occasional orange flashes are normal and reflect different elements in the air or gas.

3.Repeat at LO position.

4.After verifying the proper burner operation, turn the control knobs to OFF.

If burners do not light properly:

■Turn surface burner control knob to the OFF position.

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

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

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

Recheck operation of surface burners. If a burner does not light at this point, turn control knobs to Off and contact your dealer or authorized service company for assistance.

Adjust Flame Height

The surface burner “low” flame should be a steady blue flame approximately ¼" (0.64 cm) high.
