7. Checking Ignition of Surface Burners
Operation of all cooktop burners should be checked after the cooktop and gas supply lines have been carefully checked for leaks.
Electric Ignition
Select a top burner knob, push down and then turn counterclockwise to the LITE position.
You can hear a clicking sound indicating proper operation of the spark module.
Once the air has been purged from the supply lines, burners 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.

 | c Soft blue flames — Normal for natural gas |
If burner flames look like a, call for service. b or c is normal for burner flames, depending on the type of gas you use.
With LP gas, some yellow tipping on outer cones is normal.
