Electronic Ignition System
Initial lighting and gas flame adjustments
Cooktop burners use pilotless igniters in place of standing pilots.
When the cooktop control knob is turned to the “LIGHT” position,
the system creates a spark to light the burner. This sparking
continues, as long as the control knob is turned to “LIGHT.”
Check Operation of Cooktop Burners
Standard Surface Burners
Push in and turn each control knob to the “LIGHT” position.
The flame should light within 4 seconds. The first time a burner is
lit it may take longer than 4 seconds to light because of air in the
gas line.
If burners do not light properly:
■
Turn cooktop control knob to the “OFF” position.
■
Check that the range is plugged in and the circuit breaker has
not tripped or the household fuse has not blown.
■
Check that the gas shutoff valves are set to the “open”
position.
■
Check that burner caps are properly positioned on burner
bases.
Repeat start-up. If a burner does not light at this point, turn the
control knobs to “Off” and contact your dealer or authorized
service company for assistance.
Adjust Flame Height
Adjust the height of top burner flames. The cooktop “low” burner
flame should be a steady blue flame approximately ¼" (0.64 cm)
high.
To adjust standard burners:
The flame can be adjusted using the adjustment screw in the
center of the valve stem. The valve stem is located directly
underneath the control knob.
If the “low” flame needs to be adjusted:
1. Light 1 burner and turn to lowest setting.
2. Remove the control knob.
Hold the knob stem in the low position using a pair of pliers. Use
an
¹⁄₈
" (3.0 mm) flat-blade screwdriver to turn the screw located in
the center of the control knob stem until the flame is the proper
size.
3. Replace the control knob.
4. Test the flame by turning the control from “LO” to “HI,”
checking the flame at each setting.
5. Repeat above steps for each burner.
Complete Installation
1. Check that all parts are now installed. If there is an extra part,
go back through the steps to see which step was skipped.
2. Check that you have all of your tools.
3. Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.
4. Check that range level. See “Level Range.”
5. Use a mild solution of liquid household cleaner and warm
water to remove waxy residue caused by shipping material.
Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. For more information, see
the “Range Care” section of the Use and Care Guide.
6. Read “Range Use” in the Use and Care Guide.
7. Plug power cord into appropriate outlet. Slide range into its
final location. Check that the flexible conduit or power supply
cord are not bent.
8. Turn on surface burners and oven. See the Use and Care
Guide for specific instruction on range operation.
If range does not operate, check the following:
■
Household fuse is intact and tight, or circuit breaker has not
tripped.
■
Range is plugged into an outlet.
■
Electrical supply is connected.
■
See “Troubleshooting” in the Use and Care Guide.
9. When the range has been on for 5 minutes, check for heat. If
the range is cold, turn off the range and check that the gas
supply line shutoff valve is open.
■
If the gas supply line shutoff valve is closed, open it, then
repeat the 5-minute test as outlined above.
■
If the gas supply line shutoff valve is open, close it, and
contact a qualified technician.
