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 32,“Before You Call For Service”.To
light the burner manually,see page 29,“Power Failure”.
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.
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. On
natural gas, the flame should be blue in color
and stable. Slight yellow tipping of the flames is
normal with LP gas. During initial use, foreign
particles in the gas line,or dust in the air around
the appliance may cause an orange flame. This
will disappear with use.
FLAME HEIGHT
The correct height of the flame mainly depends
on the size of the bottom of the cooking utensil,
the material of the cooking utensil, the amount and type of food and the amount of liquid in the
utensil. Following are some basic rules for selecting flame height.
For safety reasons the flame must never extend beyond the bottom of the cooking utensil. Never
allow flames to curl up the side of the pan (see Fig.5).
Utensils which conduct heat slowly (such as glass-ceramic) should be used with medium to low
flame. If you are cooking with a large amount of liquid,a slightly larger flame can be used.
SEALED TOP BURNERS
The sealed top burners must be kept clean. Cleaning of the sealed top burners should include the
igniter. The cooktop burners have an infinite number of heat settings and there are no fixed positions
on the control knobs between HI and LO. To turn the cooktop burner on, push in on the control knob
and turn it counterclockwise to the “LITE”position. An audible clicking sound will be heard. When the
gas has been ignited by the electronic spark igniter,turn the knob to the desired setting. (The clicking
sound should stop as soon as the burner is lit).
