POSSIBLE CAUSE
• Remove the burner grate. With the control knob in the OFF position,
watch the electrode while turning the igniter knob. You should see
a spark jump inside the electrode cap.
• Use a match to light the burner.
• Visually check the electrode and wire while turning the igniter knob.
The only place a spark should appear is at the electrode tip. If the
electrode or wire leaks voltage, remove and replace.
• Purge the gas line of any air.
• Check the orifice for blockage.
• Inspect the igniter tip to make sure it is clean and free from debris.
Clean the area. Readjust for 1/8" gap.
• Check the burner inlet for obstructions.
• Do not place the range top burners in a dusty area.
• Inspect the fuel hose to ensure it is not bent or kinked.
• Adequate gas supply may not be available. Check to make sure there
is gas in the LP tank.
• The burner or burner orifice may need cleaning.
