Push in and turn each surface unit 

control knob to “LIGHT” position. The flame
should light within 4 seconds. Turn control
knob to “HIGH” position after burner lights. 

Check each cooktop burner for proper flame.

The small inner cone should have a very
distinct blue flame 1/4" to 1/2"
long. The outer cone is not as
distinct as the inner cone. 

Note: The cooktop burners have
been set at the factory for proper
operation. No adjustment is
required. If the burner does not
have the proper flame, call your dealer.

Electronic ignition system 

Cooktop and oven burners use electronic
ignitors in place of standing pilots. When a
cooktop control knob is turned to the “LIGHT”
position, the system creates a spark to light
the burner. This sparking continues until the
control knob is turned to the desired setting.

When the oven control is set to the desired
setting, a series of sparks lights the oven
burner. The sparking will stop when burner
gas lights. Sparking will again occur to re-light
the burner everytime the burner cycles back
on again.
