Electronic Ignition System

Initial Lighting and Gas Flame Adjustments
This cooktop is equipped for electronic auto-reignition by means
of a spark igniter located at the rear of each burner. The burners
are designed to light at any valve rotation that admits sufficient
gas flow to support a flame and to automatically relight following a
loss of flame due to a draft or other adverse condition. This
feature is provided only as a convenience.
Check Operation of Surface Burners
Push in and turn the surface burners control knobs to light.
The surface burner flame should light within 4 seconds. The first
time a surface burner is lit, it may take longer than 4 seconds to
light because of air in the gas line.
Check the flame on High 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.
After verifying the proper burner operation, turn the control knobs
to OFF.
If burners do not light properly:
� Turn surface burner control knob to OFF.
� Check that the power supply cord is plugged in and the circuit
breaker has not tripped or the fuse blown.
� Check that the gas shut-off valves are set to the open position.
� Check that burner caps are properly positioned on burner
bases.
Recheck operation of surface burners. If a burner does not light at
this point, contact your dealer or authorized service company for
assistance.
Adjust Flame Height
Smart Port Burner System
This cooktop is equipped with a Smart Port Burner System. The
Smart Port Burner System produces a small flame directly under
each grate finger and a larger flame between each grate finger.
The visual difference between the ports will be noticeable when
the burner is used or when adjustments are made to the flame
length.
Adjust the height of top burner flames. The cooktop Low burner
flame should be a steady blue flame approximately 1/4" (6.4 mm)
high.
