Complete Installation

Electronic Ignition System

Initial lighting and gas flame adjustments

Surface burners use electronic igniters in place of standing pilots. 
When the cooktop control knob is turned to the “IGNITE” 
position, the system creates a spark to light the burner. This 
sparking continues, as long as the control knob is turned to 
“IGNITE.”

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 lit, 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 valve is 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.

Check Flame Height

Adjust the height of surface burner flames. 

The surface burner “low” flame should be a steady blue flame 
approximately ¼" (6.4 mm) high.

Adjustment for Single Valve:

1.

Set the burner flame to LO.

2.

Remove the control knob.

3.

Hold knob stem with a pair of pliers. Use a

 ³⁄₃₂

" (#0 [2 mm]) 

flat-blade screwdriver to turn the screw located within the 
shaft of the control knob stem until the flame is the proper 
size.

Turn adjustment screw “C” to the right to reduce flame 
height, turn adjustment screw to the left to increase flame 
height.

4.

Replace the control knob.

5.

Test the flame by turning the control from LO to HI, checking 
the flame at each setting

IMPORTANT:

 Dual valve adjustments must be performed by a 

qualified installer or service agency.
