Troubleshooting Tips
Stainless Steel Gas Cooktops
What To Do
Determine the quality of flames visually. Normal
burner flames should look like (A) or (B).
Long, bright yellow flames are not normal.
Normal flames may show signs of an orange tint
when well heated or signs of flickering orange
due to particles in the gas or air.
To turn from the OFF position, push the knob
down and then turn.
Make sure electrical plug is plugged into a live,
properly grounded outlet.
See the Installation Instructions that came with
your cooktop.
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
See the Cleaning the Cooktop section.
See the Cleaning the Cooktop section.
Unlock the cooktop. See the Using the Cooktop
section.
See the Cleaning the Cooktop section.
Turn the knob out of the LITE position to the
desired setting.
Turn the burner off and relight. If ticking is still
present, call for service.
While in its lowest setting, the flame can be
shifted away from the burner's flame sensor by
drafts around the cooktop. Turn down or redirect
any fans or ventilation equipment operating
around the cooktop until sparking ceases.
Make sure the burner caps are seated correctly.
See the Care and Cleaning of the range section.
Remove the burners for cleaning. See the Care
and Cleaning of the range section.
Clean the keypad.
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
Dry the edges as best as possible and wait
several minutes for the timer buttons to become
responsive again.
