Initial lighting and gas flame adjustments Cooktop and oven burners use electronic igniters in place of standing pilots. When the cooktop control knob is turned to the
"LITE" position, the system creates a spark to light the burner. This sparking continues until the control knob is turned to the
desired setting. When the oven control is turned to the desired setting, a hot
surface igniter heats to a bright orange and ignites the gas. No sparking occurs. The glow bar remains on while the burner operates.
Check Operation of Cooktop Burners
1. If control panel and knobs were removed earlier, reinstall knobs.
2. Push in and turn each surface unit control knob to "LITE" position. The flame should light within 4 seconds.
