Operation
Normal Operation
(Electronic Ignition/Reignition)
The cooktop uses electronic igniters to light the burners. There is no pilot light.
Each burner has its own igniter. If a burner flame blows out during use, the burner
will automatically reignite.
CAUTION: All igniters spark when any single burner is turned ON or
the reignition system is activated. Do not touch any of the burners
when the cooktop is in use.
The ignitor should be clean and dry for proper operation.
• Avoid getting water or food on the igniter.
• If the igniter is wet or soiled, it may spark without igniting the burner, or even
spark continuously when a flame is present.
NOTE: If the burner does not light within 4 seconds, turn the burner off. Check to
see that the cap is positioned correctly on the burner base and the igniter is clean
and dry. If a burner still fails to ignite, see Before Calling for Service.
In the Event of a Power Failure In the event of a power failure, the burners can be ignited manually.
If the cooktop is being used when a power failure occurs, turn all the burner con-
trol knobs to the OFF position. The burners can then be ignited manually by hold-
ing a match at the ports and turning the control knob to the HI position. Wait until
the flame is burning all the way around the burner before adjusting the flame to
the desired height.
CAUTION: The reignition feature will not work in the event of a
power failure.
Typical Flame Characteristics The burner flame should be blue in color and stable with no yellow tips, excessive
noise or fluttering. It should burn completely around the burner cap.
Foreign particles in the gas line may cause an orange flame during initial use. This
should disappear with use. Check burner cap to make sure port holes are not
obstructed. If the ports are clogged, see Before Calling for Service.
NOTE: An audible “pop” may be heard when the burner is turned off manually.
The “popping” may be louder with LP gas than with natural gas. This is normal.
Yellow Flames:
Further adjustment is required.
Yellow Tips on Outer Cones:
Normal for LP Gas.
Soft Blue Flames:
Normal for Natural Gas.
If the flame is completely or mostly yellow, verify that the regulator is set for the
correct fuel. After adjustment, retest.
Some yellow streaking is normal during the initial start-up. Allow unit to operate
