Electronic Ignition System
Initial lighting and gas flame adjustments
Surface 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."
The grill and griddle burner use an igniter glow bar that is either
on or off in place of standing pilots. When the glow bar is hot, it
sends a signal back to the safety valve which opens allowing gas
to flow to the grill and griddle burner.

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Push in and turn the surface burners and grill control knobs
to the "LITE" position. For griddles, turn the griddle control
knob to a temperature degree mark (300 ° recommended).
The surface burner flame should light within 4 seconds. The
first time a surface burner is lighted it may take longer that
4 seconds to light because of air in the gas line.
3.
Check the flame on "HI" for a blue color. It should be clean
and soft in character. No yellow tip, blowing or lifting of flame
should occur. Occasional orange flashes are normal and
reflect different elements in the air or gas.
The grill and griddle flame should light in 30 to 40 seconds.
The griddle flame cannot be seen, but you should hear it
ignite and feel heat from the griddle.
4. After verifying the proper burner operation, turn the control
knobs to "OFF
If burners do not light properly:
• Turn surface burner control knob to the "OFF" position.
• Check that the power supply cord is plugged in and the
circuit breaker has not tripped or the fuse blown.
• Check that the gas shutoff valves are set to the "open"
position.
• Check that burner caps are properly positioned on burner
bases.
Recheck operation of surface burners, grill and griddle. If a
burner does not light at this point, contact your dealer or
authorized service company for assistance.

checking the flame at each setting.
