Igniter

Figure 8: Igniter

Each burner has its own electronic igniter that sparks when the burner is turned on. Each burner should light in 4 seconds or less. If a burner does not light, check to see that the cap is positioned correctly on the base.

CAUTION:

Do not touch the burners when the igniters are sparking.

If a burner fails to ignite, refer to the section “Before Calling For Service” on page 33.

Burner Cap Placement

The burner caps must be properly placed on the burner bases for the cooktop to function properly. If the burner cap is not properly placed, one or more of the following problems may occur.

•Burner flames are too high.

•Flames shoot out of burners.

•Burners do not ignite.

•Burner flames light unevenly.

•Burner emits gas odor.

WARNING:

To prevent flare-ups and avoid the creation of harmful by-products, do not use the cooktop without all burner caps and all burner grates properly positioned.

WARNING:

To prevent burns, do not touch burner caps or grates while hot. Turn the cooktop off and allow the burners to cool.

Checking Burner Cap Placement

•Check each burner to make sure there is no gap between the burner cap and burner base. See Figures 10 and 11: Correct and Incorrect Burner Cap Placement to see examples of correct and incorrect placements of the burner cap.

•You may gently try to move the burner caps from side to side to check if the caps are properly placed on the burner bases. When properly placed, each burner cap will rest flat on top of its burner base, and completely cover the star-shape of the burner base when viewed from the top as shown in Figure 10: Correct Burner Cap Placement.
