Lighting The Electronic Igniters - KitchenAid KFGS306VSS Technical Education

• Replace with correct Natural gas orifice spud.
See Natural Gas Orifice Spud Charts.
• Replace adapter nut and secure with 17.0
mm wrench. Reattach tube and secure at-
tachment nut with 15.0 mm wrench.
10. Place LP gas orifice spuds in plastic parts
bag for future use and keep with literature
package.
11. Replace sheet of insulation
12. On KFGU models only, reattach wire har-
ness to the control panel on the cooktop
glass.
13. Replace the metal cooktop and tighten all
the screws to secure cooktop to base.
14. Replace burner bases and tighten all the
orifice screws. Replace burner caps. If
necessary, replace burner ring.

16. Plug in cooktop or reconnect power.
17. Adjust single and dual valve according to
"Flame Height Adjustment" section.
REMEMBER: Once you have completed
converting all the cooktop burners, test
the cooktop for leaks by brushing on an
approved noncorrosive leak-detection
solution. Bubbles will show, indicating a
leak. Correct any leaks found.

Lighting the Electronic Igniters

The cooktop burners use electronic igniters
in place of standing pilots. When the cooktop
control knob is pushed, the system creates a
spark to light the burner. This sparking continues
until the control knob is turned to the desired
setting.
To Check Operation of the Cooktop
Burners:
1. Push in and turn knobs to the LITE posi-
tion. The cooktop burner flame should light
within 4 seconds. The first time a burner
is lit, it may take longer than 4 seconds to
light because of air in the gas line. Do not
leave the knob in the LITE position after
burner lights.
2. If burners do not light properly, turn the
control knob to the OFF position. Make
sure the burner caps are in the proper
position.
3. Check that the power supply cord is plugged
in. Check that the circuit breaker has not
tripped or the household fuse has not
blown.
4. Check that the shutoff valve is in the open
position.
5. Check burner operation again.
If one or all of the burners do not light at this
point, see "Assistance or Service" section in
the Use and Care Guide.
