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, as long as the control knob is turned to
“LITE.”
When the oven control is turned to the desired setting, sparking
occurs and ignites the gas.
Check Operation of Cooktop Burners
Standard Surface Burners
Push in and turn each control knob to the “LITE” position.
The flame 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.
If burners do not light properly:
■ Turn cooktop control knob to the “OFF” position.
■ Check that the range is plugged in. Check that the circuit
breaker has not tripped or the household fuse has not blown.
■ Check that the gas shutoff valves are set to the “open”
position.
■ Check that burner caps are properly positioned on burner
bases.
Repeat start-up. If a burner does not light at this point, turn the
control knobs to the “OFF” position and contact your dealer or
authorized service company for assistance.
Adjust Flame Height

flame should be a steady blue flame approximately ¼” (6.4 mm)
high.
To adjust standard burner:
The flame can be adjusted using the adjustment screw in the
center of the valve stem. The valve stem is located directly
underneath the control knob.
