CAUTION
Do not operate the burners without all parts in
place.
Place the burner caps and heads on the cooktop.
Make sure that the caps and heads are placed in the
correct locations. There is one small, one medium,
one large, one oval (center), and one extra large
burner head and cap.

Checking Ignition of the
Surface Burners
Electric Ignition
Select a surface burner knob and simultaneously
push in and turn to the Lite position. You will hear
a clicking sound indicating proper operation of the
spark module.
Once the air has been purged from the supply lines
the burner should ignite within 4 seconds. After the
burner ignites, rotate the knob out of the Lite position.
Try each burner in succession until all burners have
been checked.

Quality of Flames
The combustion quality of the burner flames needs to
be confirmed visually.
A Yellow flames - Call for service.
B Yellow tips on outer cones - This
is normal for LP gas
C Soft blue flames - This is normal for
natural gas
NOTE
• With LP gas, some yellow tipping on outer
cones is normal.
Adjusting the Surface Burner to the
Low Flame (Simmer) Setting
1
Light all surface burners.
2
Turn the knob on the burner being adjusted to
Lo.
3
Remove the knob.
4
Insert a small, flat-blade screwdriver into the
valve shaft.
NOTE
Hold the valve shaft with one hand while turning
the screw to adjust with the other.

Test the flame stability.
Test 1: Turn the knob from Hi to Lo quickly. If the
flame goes out, increase the flame size and test
again.
Test 2: With the burner on a Lo setting, open
and close the oven door quickly. If the flame is
extinguished by the air currents created by the
door movement, increase the flame height and
test again.
