A. Turn on gas. B. Push and turn a burner valve to the LITE position. • The burner valve should light when gas is available to the burner. • Once the burner lights, it should be turned out of the LITE position. C. Try each valve separately until all burners have been checked. D BURNER IGNITION Cooktop Spark Ignition-When you turn the cooktop knob to LITE, the spark igniter makes a series of electric sparks (ticking sounds) which light the burner. During a power failure, the burners will not light automatically. In an emergency, a cooktop burner may be lit with a match by following the steps below. WARNING: Lighting gas burners with a match is dangerous. You should match light the cooktop burners only in an emergency. A. Light a match and hold the flame near the burner you want to light. Wooden matches work best. B. Push in and turn the control knob slowly. Be sure you are turning the correct knob for the burner you are lighting. NOTE: If the burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn the knob off and wait 5 minutes before trying again. E BURNER FLAMES Turn each burner on. Turn each burner knob to the high position. Flames should be blue in color with little or no trace of yellow. The burner flames should not flutter or blow away from the burner. The inner cone of the flame should be between 1/2" and 3/4" (12.7 mm and 19.1 mm) long. If the burner flames are yellow in color or not the proper length, call GE Service. 1/2" to 3/4" (12.7 mm to 19.1 mm) COOKTOP BURNER Flames should circle burner Burners should be checked frequently. WARNING: If you attempt to measure the inner cone of the flame, please use caution.
