Electronic Ignition System —
Initial lighting and gas flame adjustments.
Cooktop and oven burners use electronic ignitors
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, a glow bar heats up bright orange and
ignites the gas. No sparking occurs and the glow
bar remains on while the burners operate.
Check the
22.
operation of
the cooktop
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 than 4 seconds
to light because of air in
gas line.
If burners do not light properly, turn cooktop control
knob to the "OFF" position. Check that the power
supply cord is plugged in and the circuit breaker or
fuse has not blown. Check that the gas shutoff
valves are set to the "OPEN" position. Repeat Step
22. If a burner does not light at this point, contact
your KitchenAid dealer or authorized service
company for assistance.

23. Adjust the height of top burner
flames (some models)
The cooktop LOW burner flame should be a steady
blue flame approximately 1/4" (0.64 cm) high. It
can be adjusted using the adjustment screw in the
manual
shutoff valve center of the valve stem. The valve stem is located
directly underneath the control knob.
If the LOW flame needs to be adjusted:
a. Remove the control knob.
b. Hold the knob stem with a pair of pliers. Use
a small flat-head screwdriver to
turn the screw located in the
center of the control knob stem
until the flame is the proper
size.
c. Replace the control
knob.
d. Test the flame by
turning the control from
"LO" to "HI", checking the
flame at each setting.

burners.

valve requires a certain time before it will open and
allow gas to flow. The first time broil burner is
lighted, it may take longer to light because of air in
gas line. The first few times burner is used sparks
may appear. This is normal.
NOTE: Oven door must be shut for broil burner to
operate.
