CompleteInstallation

Electronic Ignition System

Initial Lighting and Gas Flame Adjustments

Surface 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.

The grill and griddle burner use an igniter glow bar that is either on or off in place of standing pilots. When the glow bar is hot, it sends a signal back to the safety valve which opens allowing gas to flow to the grill and griddle burner.

Adjust Flame Height

NOTE: There is no adjustment for the griddle flame. Gas flow is at 100%, temperature is controlled by a thermostat.

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

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

1.Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

2.Push in and turn the surface burners and grill control knobs to the LITE position. For griddles, turn the griddle control knob to a temperature degree mark (300° recommended).

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.

3.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.

The grill and griddle flame should light in 30 to 40 seconds. The griddle flame cannot be seen, but you should hear it ignite and feel heat from the griddle.

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, grill and griddle. If a burner does not light at this point, contact your dealer or authorized service company for assistance.
