should light when gas is available to burner. Once
the burner lights, it should be turned out of the LITE
position. TV each valve separately until all burners
have been checked out.

cooktop knob to LITE, the spark igniter makes a
series of electric sparks (ticking sounds) which light

may be lit with a match by following the steps below,
1. Light a match and hold the flame near the burner

seconds, turn the knob off and wait one minute
