• Be sure all surface burner controls are set in the OFF
position prior to supplying gas to the appliance.
When the appliance is first installed, the surface
burners may be difficult to light due to air in the gas
line. This may also occur ffthe appliance has been
disconnected from the main gas supply or if it has not
been used for several days or weeks.
To remove the air in the gas line, hold a lighted match
next to the burner head and turn the knob on. When the
burner lights, either adjust the knob to the desired
flame size or turn the burner off.
Pilotless ignition uses a spark from the ignitor to light the
burner. There are two ignitors for conventional surface
burners. Each sealed burner has its own ignitor. Once the
burner lights, turn the knob to the desired setting. The
clicking sound will not stop until the knob is turned from
the LITE position.
_lgnitor P°rts
NOTE: The surface burner will not light if the ignitor is
damaged, broken, soiled or wet. Also, the burner will not
light if the small port beneath the ignitor is blocked. See
page 17 for cleaning instructions.
A properly adjusted burner with clean ports will light within
a few seconds.
On natural gas, the flame will be blue with a deeper blue
core; there should be no trace of yellow in the flame.
A yellow flame indicates an improper mixture of air/gas.
This wastes fuel, so have a serviceman adjust the mixture
if a yellow flame occurs.
On LP gas, some yellow tipping is acceptable. This is
normal and adjustment is not necessary.
You may hear a "popping" sound on some types of gas
when the surface burner is turned off. This is a normal
operating sound of the burner.
To light surface burner during a power
failure:
1. Be sure all controls are in the OFF position.
2. Hold a lighted match to the desired surface burner
head.
3. Push in and turn knob to the LITE position. The burner
will then light.
4. Adjust the flame to the desired flame size,
CAUTION: When lighting the surface burner, be sure
all of the controls are in the OFF position. Strike the
match first and hold it in position before turning the
knob to the LITE position.
