CHECKING OPERATION OF THE SURFACE BURNERS
Cooktop burners use electronic igniters. When the cooktop control knob is
turned to the ignite position, the system creates a spark to light the burner. All
or some other cooktop burners will spark, but only the burner with the control
knob turned to the ignite position will produce a flame. This sparking
continues as long as the control knob is turned to the ignite position.
STANDARD SURFACE BURNERS
The appearance of the knobs may vary from what are shown below.
1. For each burner, one at a time, push in and turn control knob to the ignite
position, and turn control knob to the highest setting after the burner is lit.
2. The flame should light within 4 seconds. The first time a burner is lit, it
may take longer than 4 seconds to light because of air in the gas line.
3. For each burner, one at a time, rotate the knob quickly to the lowest
setting - confirm that the flame is not extinguished.
4. With one burner still at the lowest setting (and all others at highest
setting), quickly open and close the oven door - confirm that the flame is
not extinguished.
5. Compare flame height at the highest and lowest setting - confirm flame
height is sufficiently reduced when turned to the lowest setting. In other
words, confirm that the lowest setting is sufficiently low for the size of the
burner being tested.
6. If burner flame is extinguished during any of the above tests, or if the
burner flame needs to be adjusted for any of the burners, see the "Adjust
Flame Height" section.
