Electronic Ignition System —
initial lighting
Cooktop burners use electronic igniters in
place of standing pilots. When the
cooktop control knob is pushed in and
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.
15.
Check operation of the cooktop
burners. Push in and turn each control
knob to "LITE" position. The flame should
light within 4 seconds. Do Not leave the
knob in the "LITE" position after
burner lights.
If burners do not light properly, turn
control knob to the "OFF" position. Check
that burner cap is in the proper position.
Check that power supply cord is plugged
in and that circuit breaker or house fuse
has not blown. Check that the shutoff
valve is in the "ON" position. Check
operation again. If a burner does not light
at this point, contact your KitchenAid
dealer for assistance.
16.
Push in and turn each control
knob to the "LO" (or simmer) setting. The
"LO" setting of each burner has been
factory set to the lowest setting possible
to provide a stable flame. If it does not
stay lit on the "LO" setting, check "LO"
setting as follows:
a. Turn control to "LITE" until burner
ignites.
b. Quickly turn knob down to LOWEST
POSITION.
c. If burner goes out, readjust valve as
follows:
Remove the burner control knob. Insert a
flat-blade screwdriver into the hollow
valve stem and engage the slotted screw.
Flame size can be increased or
decreased by turning the screw. Adjust
flame until you can quickly turn knob from
the "HI" to "LO" position without
extinguishing the flame. Flame should be
as small as possible without going out.
