POSSIBLE CAUSE
• Use a razor scraper and recommended cleaning procedure.
• Marks from aluminum and copper pans as well as mineral deposits
from water or food can be removed with Cooktop Cleaning Cream.
• Turn the surface unit to LO, wipe the hot cooktop with several dry
paper towels. Use a razor scraper held at a 30° angle to the cooktop
to scrape the hot spill to a cool area outside the surface unit. Let the
cooktop cool. Clean with Cooktop Cleaning Cream.
• When the knob is at the off (O) position, it must be pushed in before
it can be turned.When the knob is at any other position, it can be
turned without being pushed in.
• Sparking of the igniter is normal. Air currents in the kitchen from
an open window or a person moving quickly can interrupt the flame,
causing automatic relight sparking. As the burner warms, the
sparking is less likely to occur. If the sparking persists for a long time,
call for service.
• Be sure the control knobs are in the off (O) position. If the sparking
sound persists call for service.
• Make sure electrical plug is plugged into a live power outlet.
• Gas supply not connected or not turned on.
• Orifice in burner body may be clogged (see the Gas Burner
Component section). Remove the obstruction.
• Burner parts not replaced correctly (see the Gas Burner Component
section).
• Counter unit not properly grounded or polarized. This can affect
spark ignition.
• Soil clogging holes in burner cap. Remove and clean.
• Cooktop burner top not replaced correctly.
