Initial lighting and gas flame adjustments
Cooktop and oven burners use electronic igniters in place of
standing pilots. When the cooktop control knob is turned to the
"LITE" position, the system creates a spark to light the burner.
This sparking continues, as long as the control knob is turned to
"LITE."
When the oven control is turned to the desired setting, sparking
occurs and ignites the gas.

Standard
Surface
Burners
Push in and turn each control knob to the "LITE" position.
The flame should light within 4 seconds. The first time a burner is
lighted it may take longer that 4 seconds to light because of air in
the gas line.
If burners do not light properly:
•
Turn cooktop control knob to the "OFF" position.
•
Check that the range is plugged in and the circuit breaker has
not tripped or the fuse blown.
•
Check that the gas shutoff valves are set to the "open"
position.
•
Check that burner caps are properly positioned on burner
bases.
Repeat start-up. If a burner does not light at this point, contact
your dealer or authorized service company for assistance.
Adjust Flame Height

flame should be a steady blue flame approximately
1/4"(0.64 cm)
high.
1. Remove the control knob.
2. Hold the knob stem with a pair of pliers. Use a small flat-
blade screwdriver to turn the screw located in the center of
the control knob stem until the flame is the proper size.
3. Replace the control knob.
4. Test the flame by turning the control from "LO" to "HI,"
checking the flame at each setting.
