Refer to the "Electronic Ignition System" section for proper burner ignition, operation, and burner flame adjustments. IMPORTANT: You may have to adjust the "LO" setting for each cooktop burner. Checking for proper cooktop burner flame is very important. The small inner cone should have a very distinct blue flame ¼" (0.64 cm) to ½" (1.3 cm) long. The outer cone is not as distinct as the inner cone. LP gas flames have a slightly yellow tip. 3.
