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.

qualified installer or service agency.
