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.

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 turned to the
desired setting, a hot surface ignitor heats to
a bright orange and ignites the gas. No
sparking occurs and the glow bar remains
on while the burner operates.

the protective shield that surrounds the
ignitor or clean that area.

Check the oven burner  for

proper flame. 

The flame should be
