Before You Call For Service

POSSIBLE CAUSE
• Make sure electrical plug is plugged into a live power outlet.
• Burner parts not replaced correctly.
• Slits in the burner heads may be clogged.
• Burner parts not replaced correctly. See the sealed burner assemblies
section.
• The combustion quality of burner flames needs to be determined
visually.
A. Yellow flames: Call for
service.
• If burner flames look like (A), call for service. Normal burner flames
should look like (B) or (C), depending on the type of gas. With LP
gas, some yellow tipping on outer cones is normal.
• If cooktop is connected to LP gas, contact the person who installed
your cooktop or made the conversion.
• When the knob is at the OFF position, it must be pushed
down before it can be turned, and it can only be turned in a
counterclockwise direction. When the knob is at any other
position, it can be turned in either direction without being
pushed in.
• Food spillovers not cleaned before the next use. See the Glass
Cooktop Surface Cleaning section.
• Hot cooktop came into contact with plastic placed on the hot
cooktop. See the Glass surface – Potential for permanent damage section
in the Glass Cooktop Surface Cleaning section.
• A hot sugar mixture was spilled on the cooktop. Call a qualified
technician for replacement.
Gas Cooktop
B. Yellow tips on outer cones:
Normal for LP gas.

for natural gas.
