Normal Operation (Electronic
Ignition/Reignition)
The cooktop uses electronic igniters to light the
burners. There is no pilot light. Each burner has its
own igniter. If a burner flame blows out during use,
the burner will automatically reignite.
,
CAUTION:
To avoid possible injury or damage to
the appliance, ensure grates are installed
exactly per installation instructions and not
backwards or upside down.
Typical Flame Characteristics
The burner flame should be blue in color and stable
with no yellow tips, excessive noise or fluttering. It
should burn completely around the burner cap.
Foreign particles in the gas line may cause an orange
flame during initial use. This should disappear with
use. Check burner to make sure port holes are not
obstructed.
