Initial Lighting and Gas Flame Adjustments
Range burners use electronic igniters in place of standing pilots. When the Range Control Knob is turned to any position, the system creates a spark to light the burner. This sparking continues until the flame is lit or the knob is turned to OFF.
NOTE: The first time igniting the burners will take longer. This allows the gas to reach the burners during the first use.
Check Operation of Range Burners
Push in and turn each Control Knob to .
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 Range 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.
Flame Height
