ELECTRONIC IGNITERS
If a burner does not ignite, listen for the clicking sound. If the
igniter is not clicking,TURN OFF THE BURNER. Check the circuit
breaker for a blown fuse or a tripped circuit breaker. If the igniter
still fails to operate, see page 28,“Before Calling For Service”.To
light the burner manually, see page 27.
BURNER EFFICIENCY AND FLAME CHARACTERISTICS
It is necessary to keep the burner ports and the igniters clean for proper lighting and efficient performance of
the cooktop burners.
The burner flame should burn completely around the burner with no excessive noise or lifting.The
flame should be blue in color and stable with no yellow tips.
An improper air-gas mixture may cause either a burner flutter or a yellow tipped flame.A technician
should adjust the flame. During initial use, foreign particles in the gas line, or dust in or in the air
around the appliance may cause an orange flame.This will disappear with use.
NOTE: If you are using propane gas, a slight pop or flash
may occur at the burner ports a few seconds after
the burner has been turned “off ”.This “extinction
pop” is normal for propane gas.
