Complete Installation Electronic Ignition System Check Flame Height Adjust the height of surface burner flames. Initial lighting and gas flame adjustments Surface burners use electronic igniters in place of standing pilots. When the cooktop control knob is turned to the "LITE" position, the system creates a spark to light the burner. This sparking continues, as long as the control knob is turned to "LITE." 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 the "LITE" position. The surface burner flame should light within 4 seconds. The first time a surface burner is lighted it may take longer then 4 seconds to light because of air in the gas line. Check the flame on "HI" 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.
