Check Operation of Cooktop Burners
Push in and turn each control knob to LITE.
NOTE: You will hear a clicking sound while the line clears.
The surface burners and grill flames should light within
4 seconds. The first time a burner is lit, it may take longer
than 4 seconds to light because of air in the gas line.
After verifying the proper burner operation, turn the control
knobs to OFF.
If burners do not light properly:
■
Turn cooktop control knob to OFF.
■
Check that the range is plugged in and the circuit breaker
has not tripped or the fuse has not blown.
■
Check that the gas shut-off valves are set to the “open”
position.
■
Check that burner caps are properly positioned on
burner bases.
Repeat startup. If a burner does not light at this point, contact
your dealer or authorized service company for assistance.
