Electronic Ignition System
Initial lighting and gas flame adjustments
This cooktop is equipped for electronic auto-reignition by means
of a spark igniter located at the rear of each burner. The burners
are designed to light at any valve rotation that admits sufficient
gas flow to support a flame and to automatically relight following a
loss of flame due to a draft or other adverse condition. This
feature is provided only as a convenience.
Check Operation of Surface Burners
Push in and turn the surface burners control knobs to light.
The surface burner flame should light within 4 seconds. The first
time a surface burner is lighted it may take longer that 4 seconds
to light because of air in the gas line.
Check the flame on “HIGH” for a blue color. It should be clean and
soft in character. No yellow tip, blowing or lifting of flame should
occur. Occasional orange flashes are normal and reflect different
elements in the air or gas.
After verifying the proper burner operation, turn the control knobs
to “OFF.”
If burners do not light properly:
■
Turn surface burner control knob to the “OFF” position.
■
Check that the power supply cord is plugged in and the circuit
breaker has not tripped or the fuse blown.
■
Check that the gas shutoff valves are set to the “open”
position.
■
Check that burner caps are properly positioned on burner
bases.
Recheck operation of surface burners. If a burner does not light at
this point, contact your dealer or authorized service company for
assistance.
Adjust Flame Height
Smart Port Burner System
This cooktop is equipped with a Smart Port Burner System. The
Smart Port Burner System produces a small flame directly under
each grate finger and a larger flame between each grate finger.
The visual difference between the ports will be noticeable when
the burner is used or when adjustments are made to the flame
length.
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.
3. 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.
4. Replace the control knob.
5. Test the flame by turning the control from “LO” to “HI,”
checking the flame at each setting.
6. Repeat above steps for each burner.
