Push in and turn each surface
unit control knob to “LITE” position. The
flame should light within 4 seconds. Turn
control knob to “HI” position after burner
lights.
Check each cooktop burner for
proper flame. The small inner
cone should have a very
distinct blue flame 1/4"
(6.4 mm) to 1/2" (1.3 cm) long.
The outer cone is not as distinct
as the inner cone. If the flame is
noisy or blowing, it is getting
too much air. If the flame is soft
and lazy, it is not getting enough air. Turn
each surface burner control knob to

needed. Close the air shutter to decrease
the amount of air to the flame. Open the
air shutter to increase the amount of air
to the flame.

ignitor, do not insert any object into the
openings of the protective shield that
surrounds the ignitor or clean that area.

clean and soft in character. No yellow tips
(not enough air), blowing or lifting (too
much air) of flame should occur.
