Electronic Ignition System
Initial lighting and gas flame adjustments
Cooktop burners use pilotless 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 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 household fuse has not blown.
■Check that the gas shutoff valve is set to the “open” position.
■Check that burner caps are properly positioned on burner bases.
Repeat
Tap Touch Surface Burners (on some models)
Tap the “On” pad for the cooktop control.
Tap the + or - to adjust the cooktop burner flame height. 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:
■Tap the “Off” pad for the cooktop control.
■Check that the range is plugged in and the circuit breaker has not tripped or the household fuse has not blown.
■Check that the gas shutoff valve is set to the “open” position.
■Check that burner caps are properly positioned on burner bases.

3.Replace the control knob.
4.Test the flame by turning the control from “LO” to “HI,” checking the flame at each setting.
5.Repeat above steps for each burner.
