Check for proper venting:
• Check that the air filter is in place.
• Align the dotted line labeled for "cooktop
models" on the flow tester with the edge
of the intake on the left side of the cooktop
near the center.
• Turn on the downdraft system:
If the card is pulled into the air intake,
your downdraft is working properly.
If the card is not pulled into the system,

Electronic ignitions system
Cooktop burners use electronic ignitors 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 until the
control knob is turned to the desired setting.

knob to "HI" position after
burner lights. Do Not leave the knob in the

Check each surface burner for
proper flame at "HI" setting. The

very distinct, blue flame that is
1/4" (0.6 cm) to 1/2" long (1.3 cm).
The outer cone is not as distinct as
the inner cone. Turn surface
burner control knobs to "OFF" position.
