TROUBLESHOOTING

Has a household fuse been blown or has the circuit
breaker been tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit.
Is this the first time the surface burners have been used?
Turn on any one of the surface burner knobs to release air
from the gas lines.
Is the control knob set correctly? Push in knob before
turning to a setting.
Are the burner ports clogged? See "Surface Burners"
section.
Are the cooktop airflow ventilation louvers blocked? Make
sure the louvers are free of any obstruction. Blocking the
ventilation louvers will cause poor burner operation.
Are the burner ports clogged? See "Sealed Surface
Burners" section.
On models with caps, are the burner caps positioned
properly? See "Surface Burners" section.
Is the burner damaged? On models with caps, look for a
warped cap. If cap will not spin freely on a flat surface,
painted side down, the cap is warped. Switch cap with a
different surface burner to check for further warping. Contact
a trained repair specialist.
Is propane gas being used? The appliance may have been
converted improperly. Contact a trained repair specialist.
