Checking Ignition of the Surface Burners

Even if the top burner flame goes out, gas is still flowing to the burner until the knob is turned to the OFF position. If you smell gas, immediately open a window and ventilate the area for five minutes prior to using the burner. Do not leave the burners on unattended.Always turn the knobs to the LITE position when igniting the top burners and make sure the burners have ignited.Electric spark igniters from the burners cause a clicking noise. All the spark igniters on the cooktop will activate when igniting just one burner.Select a surface burner knob and simultaneously push in and turn to the LITE position. You will hear a clicking sound indicating proper operation of the spark module.Once the air has been purged from the supply lines the burner should ignite within 4 seconds. After the burner ignites, rotate the knob out of the LITE position. Try each burner in succession until all burners have been checked.The combustion quality of the burner flames needs to be confirmed visually.Call for service.This is normal for LP gas.This is normal for natural gas.With LP gas, some yellow tipping on outer cones is normal.
