Once burner ignition has been achieved, then turn the burner control knob to adjust the the desired heat setting. NOTE: When one burner is turned to the “HI” position, the burner igniters will park. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on.
If the gas does not ignite within four seconds, turn off the valve and allow at least five minutes for any gas to dissipate. Repeat the lighting procedure.
