Complete Installation Electronic Ignition System Check Flame Height Adjust the height of surface burner flames. Initial lighting and gas flame adjustments This cooktop is equipped for electronic auto-reignition by means of a spark igniter located at the rear of each burner. The burners are designed to light at any valve rotation that admits sufficient gas flow to support a flame and to automatically relight following a loss of flame due to a draft or other adverse condition. This feature is provided only as a convenience. The surface burner "low" flame should be a steady blue flame approximately ¼" (0.64 cm) high. A Check Operation of Surface Burners Push in and turn the surface burners control knobs to light. The surface burner flame should light within 4 seconds. The first time a surface burner is lighted it may take longer that 4 seconds to light because of air in the gas line. Check the flame on "HIGH" for a blue color. It should be clean and soft in character. No yellow tip, blowing or lifting of flame should occur. Occasional orange flashes are normal and reflect different elements in the air or gas. After verifying the proper burner operation, turn the control knobs to "OFF." If burners do not light properly: ■ Turn surface burner control knob to the "OFF" position. ■ Check that the power supply cord is plugged in and the circuit breaker has not tripped or the fuse blown. ■ Check that the gas shutoff valves are set to the "open" position. ■ Check that burner caps are properly positioned on burner bases. Recheck operation of surface burners. If a burner does not light at this point, contact your dealer or authorized service company for assistance. B A. Low flame B.
