QUESTIONS?
POSSIBLE CAUSE
• Make sure electrical plug is plugged into a live power outlet.
• Burner holes on the side or around the top of burner may be clogged. Remove
burners (on models with standard twin burners) or burner heads (on models with
sealed burners) or burner caps on spill-proof models, and clean them with a
sewing needle or twist-tie. Make sure you do not enlarge the holes. On
spill-proof models, check electrode area for burned-on food or grease.
• Make sure the drip pans (on some models) are installed correctly.
• Pilot(s) is (are) not lit (on standing pilot models). See the Lighting Instructions
for Standing Pilot Models in Surface Cooking.
• If range is connected to LP gas, contact the person who installed your range
or made the conversion.
• The oven gas shut-off valve may have accidentally been moved during
cleaning or moving.
To check the oven gas shut-off valve on standard twin burner models, raise
the cooktop and look for the gas shut-off lever at the extreme right rear corner.
(Standing pilot models do not have a gas shut-off valve on the regulator.)
Follow the directions in box A or B that match your regulator type.
