When the gas control valve is turned on, gas flows to the burner head, and out the ports. There are
ports at both the top and side of the burner head, as shown in Figure 3-25. The side ports direct
gas to a
flash tube
, where it is drawn through the tube to the pilot flame, where it is ignited inside
the tube. The ignited gas is then flashed back to the main burner, where gas from the top ports is
ignited by the pilot flame. The burning gas from the pilot also helps to draw gas through the tube
for combustion.

RELIGHTING A STANDING PILOT
Caution: If the pilot has been out for some time and you detect a strong odor of gas,
ventilate the room before trying to relight the pilot.
Turn off all range controls and prop open the cooktop. Place a lighted match near the opening of
the pilot, located midway between two burners, as shown in Figure 3-26. If the pilot does not stay
lit, clean, or adjust it.
