Electronic Ignition System —
initial lighting
Surface burners use electronic ignitors in
place of standing pilots. When the
cooktop control knob is pushed in and
turned to the “LITE” position, the system
creates a spark to light the burner. This
sparking continues until the control knob
is turned to the desired setting.
The grille and griddle burner use an
ignitor glow bar that is either on or off in
place of standing pilots. When the glow
bar is hot, it sends a signal back to the
safety valve which opens allowing gas
to flow.
Check the operation of the
surface burners, grille and
griddle.
