CHECK SURFACE
BURNERS
Push and turn a knob to the LITE position. A
clicking sound indicates proper operation of
the ignition system. When lighting any burner,
sparks will appear at all burners but gas flows
from only the one selected. Once air is purged
from the supply line, burner should light within
4 seconds. After burner lights, rotate the knob
out of the LITE position. Try each burner in
succession until all burners have been checked.
WHEN ALL HOOKUPS ARE
COMPLETED
Make sure all controls are left in the off
position. Make sure the flow of combustion and
ventilation air to the cooktop is unobstructed.
