• If the gas does not ignite within four seconds, turn off the valve. Allow at least two
minutes for any gas to dissipate, then repeat the lighting procedure.
• Burner ignitors must always be kept clean and dry to function properly. Due to
the Vantage-Flame™ reignition feature, dirty or wet ignitors will result in constant
sparking, even if there is a flame present. Additionally, ignitors will spark
automatically if the flame is distorted by a draft or by a cooktop ventilation
system. Eliminate the draft or reduce the ventilation blower speed in this case.
• When the cooktop is cool and/or more than two burners are in use, the ignitors
may continue to spark if the control knob is set to the “LOW” position. This is
normal until the burner warms up. The tendency to spark under these conditions
can be reduced by operating the burner at a higher flame setting for a short
period of time (normally 60 seconds or less), then adjusting the control knob
down to the “LOW” setting. The burner will also warm up faster if a utensil is
placed on the grate.
• The flame should be steady and blue in color. Foreign material in the gas line,
especially in new construction, may cause an orange flame during initial
operation. This will disappear with further use.
• The flame should burn evenly around the perimeter of the burner. If the flame is
uneven, ensure that the brass burner ring and porcelain burner cap are properly
positioned, then check for any foreign material in the burner ring or on the
burner cap. Remove any foreign material with a straightened paper clip, wire, or
needle. Do not use a toothpick to remove clogs, as it could break off. Do not
damage the brass or distort the shape of the burner ring ports.
• Never light the burners with a match or other open flame. If a burner does not
ignite, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide.
