position before any^ pilots are lit or adjusted.
Light the Surface Burner Pilots
CAUTION: Make sure the surface burner control
Icnobs are in the OFF position before attempting to
light the pilots.
1. Raise the cooktop.
2. Light both pilots with a match.
3- To avoid pilot outage, use caution when closing
cooktop after lighting pilots.
NOTE: Do not leave standing pilot lit in a newly
constructed or remodeled home or apartment that will
be unoccupied for more than a month.
Each pilot flame was adjusted at the factory to be
approximately 5ll&’ (8 mm) tall. A tinge of yellow
appearing at the upper tip is normal. If you find pilot
adjustment is necessary, follow instructions at right.

Pilots If Necessary
1. Raise the cooktop.
2. Locate the pilot adjustment screw. It can be accessed
through the small hole near the center of the
manifold panel.
3. To adjust, use a blade-
type screwdriver with
a shaft diameter of

(5 mm). Turn pilot
adjustment screw
until pilot is 5/16"
(8 mm) high. Do not
reduce the flame to less than 5/16" (8 mm) or pilot
