the surface control knob to LITE until burner ignites and then turn control
knob to desired flame size.
Burner ports are clogged. With the burner OFF, use a small-gauge wire or
needle to burner head slots and ignition ports. See Cleaning the cooktop
and surface burners in the Care & Cleaning section for additional cleaning
instructions.
• Range power cord is disconnected from outlet (electric ignition models
only). Be sure power cord is securely plugged into the power outlet.

• Burner slots or ports are clogged. With the surface burner OFF, clean ports

operate until flame is full.
