Electronic Ignition System-
initial lighting
Cooktop burners use electronic igniters in place of
standing pilots. When the cooktop control knob is
turned to the "HI" position, the system creates a
spark to light the burner. This sparking continues
until the burner ignites.
116.1
Check the
operation of
-
the cooktop
burners. Push in and turn
each control knob to "HI"
position.
The flame should
light within 4 seconds.
If burners do not light
properly, turn control knob
to the "OFF' position.
Check that burner cap is in
the proper position. Check that power supply cord
is plugged in and that the 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
KitchenAid dealer for assistance.
