OCCURRENCE
Surface burners do not light.
Surface burner flame burns half way
around.
Surface burner flame is orange.
POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
Surface control knob has not been completely turned to LITE. Push in and turn the
surface control knob to LITE (until burner ignites) and then turn the surface control
knob to the desired flame size.
Burner ports are clogged. Clean burners. See "To Clean the Burner Grates,
Contoured Burner Pans, Burner Cap Assembly, and Burner Base" under General
Cleaning. With the burner off, use a small-gauge wire or needle to clean ports or
slots.
Electrical Power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local electric
company for service. Surface burners can be lit manually. See Setting Surface
Controls in this Owner's Guide.
Gas supply is turned off. Turn gas supply on.
Power supply cord not plugged into outlet.
Burner ports or slots are clogged. With the burner off, clean by using a small-gauge
wire or needle to clean ports or slots.
Moisture is present after cleaning. Lightly fan the flame and allow the burner to
operate until flame is full. Dry the burners thoroughly following instructions under
General Cleaning.
Dust particles in main line. Allow the burner to operate a few minutes until flame
turns blue.
Salt air in coastal areas. A slightly orange flame is unavoidable.
