Caution: Lift the cooktop by the glass side edges.
Do not lift from the vent opening.
4. Lift off the cooktop and place it on a flat, pro-
tected surface.
Caution: Graphite gaskets are very fragile. Care
must be given to avoid breaking.

the gaskets.

WARNING: Disconnect electrical power to the
cooktop and turn OFF gas at the main valve before
performing any removal procedures.

shutoff valve. If installed correctly, a shutoff valve
will be in the main gas supply line “upstream” of
the appliance pressure regulator.

burner head from the cooktop. Remove 2 Torx

2. Insert a flat screwdriver blade between the edge
of the igniter and burner base. Pull on the igniter
while lifting with the screwdriver.
Caution: When removing the wire from the igniter,
make sure you do not damage the heat shrink
insulation on the wire. If damaged, repair the wire
insulation with fiberglass tape.
3. Unplug the wire from the base of the igniter.
Note: When assembling, check the integrity of the
heat shrink on the igniter leads going to the
electrodes. If damaged, proper ignition may not
occur. Repair the wire insulation with fiberglass
tape.
