Electronic Ignition System -
initial lighting
Cooktop
burners use electronic
ignitors in
place
of standing
pilots. When the cooktop
control
knob 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.
w Cl Teck the operation
of the
cooktop
burners. Put a 'pan of water on
each
burner. 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
knobs to the 'OFF" 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
Whirlpool
dealer
for assistance.
Note: A correctly
adjusted
sealed
gas
burner
may blow out when
a pan is not on
the burner.
14
n
After burner
lights,
turn control
knob to "HI"
position.
Check
each
cooktop
burner for proper
flame. The
small inner cone should have a
very distinct
blue flame
l/4" to
l/2" long, the outer cone is not
as distinct
as the inner cone.
15
n
Push in and turn each
control
knob to the "WARM" setting. The "WARM"
flame should be a minimum,
steady, blue
flame and should extend
to the other edge
of the burner cap. A stable flame should be
maintained
when the control
knob is
changed
from"HI"
to "WARM".
If flame
needs adjusting,
turn the control
knob to
the 'HI" position
for five minutes. Then turn
the control
knob back to the "WARM"
position
and remove
the control
knob. Use
a screwdriver
to turn the adjustment
screw
in the center
of the valve stem. Replace
the
control
knob. Check
the adjustment
by
turning
the control
knob from 'HI" to
"WARM" several times. There is no
adjustment
to the 'SIM" setting.
