The
broiler-
burner
ignition
is checked
in the same manner
as the top burner,
Since
it must be done with
the
griddle
level with
the cooktop,
ignition
is observed
through
the right
hand opening
between
the griddle
and
the
cooktop.
If ignition
does not take

remove
drip
pan in right
rear burner

if flames,
are yellow,
increase

at least four
(4) times.
If burner
fails
to light
and ignitor
is clicking,
turn
gas "off",
remove
drip
pan and recheck
flash tube
alignment.
A visual
check
should
be
made
to make
sure that
the ignitor
is producing
a spark.
If spark

not
present,
recheck
connections.
Should
failure
continue
after
these
checks,
reduce
air
shutter
opening.
Replace

pan
and
check
ignition
again.
(Try
at least 4 times.)
Now

at
one time.
Sometimes
