Electronic
Ignition
System-
initial lighting
Cooktop burners use electronic igniters in place
of standing pilots. When the cooktop control
knob is pushed in and 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.

turn each control knob
to "LITE" position. The flame should light within 4
seconds. Do Not leave the knob in the "LITE"
position
after burner lights.
If burners do not light properly, turn control knob
to the "OFF" position. Check that burner cap is in
the proper position. Check that power supply
cord is plugged in and that circuit breaker or
house fuse has not blown. Check that the shutoff
valve is in the "ON" position. Check operation
again. If a burner does not light at this point,
contact your KitchenAid dealer for assistance.

Check each cooktop
burner for proper flame.
The small inner cone
should have a very
distinct blue flame approximately
1/2"
(1.3cm) long. The outer cone is not as
distinct as the inner cone.

Push in and turn each control knob
to the "LO" (or simmer) setting. The
"LO" setting of each burner has
been factory set to the lowest
setting available to provide reliable reignition of the
burner. If it does not stay lit on the "LO" setting,
check "LO" setting as follows:
a. Turn control to "LITE" until burner ignites.
b. Quickly turn knob down to LOWEST POSITION.
c. If burner goes out, readjust valve as follows:
Remove the surface burner control knob. Insert a
flat-blade screwdriver into the hollow valve stem
and engage the slotted screw inside. Flame size
can be increased or decreased with the turn of the
screw. Adjust flame until you can quickly turn knob
from "LITE" to LOWEST POSITION without
extinguishing the flame. Flame should be as small
as possible without going out.
