Verifying Proper Operation
WARNING
• Make sure that power to the electrical outlet is turned
off at the circuit breaker or fuse box and that the gas
is turned off at the gas supply valve before proceed-
ing.
• The cooktop must be properly grounded at all times
when electrical power is applied.
Prior to operating the cooktop, read the accompanying use
and care manual carefully.
1. Make sure all the
cooktop burner con-
trols are in the OFF
position.
2. Connect the power
cord to the electrical outlet.
3. Turn on power to the electrical outlet at the circuit
breaker or fuse box.
4. Gently push in and turn one burner control knob at a
time counterclockwise to the HIGH position. Verify that
the associated burner igniter sparks, then return the
knob to the OFF position. Repeat for all of the remain-
ing control knobs.
5. Turn on the gas supply valve.
6. Perform the following ignition test for all of the burners:
• Push in and turn one of the control knobs counter-
clockwise to the HIGH position. Only the igniter for
the selected burner will spark. It may take up to four
seconds for the gas to ignite, at which time the ignit-
er will stop sparking. If ignition does not occur within
four seconds, turn the knob to the OFF position, wait
for at least five minutes to allow any gas to dissipate,
then repeat the test.
• Once the burner lights, the control knob can be rotat-
ed counterclockwise from HIGH to LOW to adjust the
flame height progressively.
• When the unit is
installed properly, the
flame will be steady. It
will also have a sharp,
blue inner cone that
will vary in length pro-
portional to the burner
size. The flame will be
reduced by the Smart
Flame™ feature under
the grate fingers to
increase grate life.
NOTE: If the cooktop does not operate properly, follow
these troubleshooting steps:
• Verify that power and gas are supplied to the cooktop.
• Check to make sure that the power plug is connected
to the electrical outlet and that power is turned on at
the circuit breaker or fuse box.
• Check to make sure that all burner parts are properly
seated.
• If the burner continues to spark after ignition without
stopping, have a licensed electrician check the electri-
cal outlet for proper grounding or reversed polarity.
• Repeat the burner ignition test.
