Initial Lighting and Gas Flame Adjustments

Cooktop burners use electronic igniters in place of standing pilots. When the cooktop control knob is turned to any position, the system creates a spark to light the burner. This sparking continues, until the flame is lit or the knob is turned to Off.

Check Operation of Cooktop Burners

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

The surface burners and grill flames 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.

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

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.
