Checking the Igniters
Operation of the electric igniters should
be checked after the cooktop and supply
line have been carefully checked for leaks
and the cooktop has been connected to
the electrical power.
a. Push and turn a burner valve to the LITE
position.
• The burner valve should light when gas
is available to the burner
• Once the burner lights, it should be
turned out of the LITE position.
b. Try each valve separately until all burners
have been checked.

Cooktop Spark Ignition—When you turn the
cooktop knob to LITE, the spark igniter
makes a series of electric sparks (ticking
sounds) which light the burner.
During a power failure, the burners will not
light automatically. In an emergency, a
cooktop burner may be lit with a match by
following the steps below.
WARNING: Lighting gas burners with a
match is dangerous. You should match
light the cooktop burners only in an
emergency.
Burner Ignition
a. Light a match and hold the flame near the
burner you want to light. Wooden matches
work best.
b. Push in and turn the control knob slowly.
Be sure you are turning the correct knob
for the burner you are lighting.
NOTE: If the burner does not light within five
seconds, turn the knob off and wait one minute
before trying again.

The Burner Flames

in color with no trace of yellow. The burner

the burner. The inner cone of the flame
should be between 1/2
″ and 3/4″ long.
Burners should be checked frequently
WARNING: If you attempt to measure
the inner cone of the flame, please use
caution. Burns could result.
