Surface Control knob to LITE until burner ignites and then turn control knob to desired
flame size.
• Be sure gas supply valve is open.
• Burner ports are clogged. Clean burners. See Cleaning the Burner Grates, Burner
Caps, Burner Heads in General Care & Cleaning section. With the burner off, clean

BURNER FLAME ONLY LIGHTS HALF WAY AROUND BURNER
• Burner ports are clogged. With the burner off, clean ports by using a small-gauge wire
or needle.
• Moisture is present after cleaning. Lightly fan the flame and allow burner to operate
until flame is full. Dry the burners thoroughly following instructions in the General
Cleaning section.
BURNER FLAME IS ORANGE
• Dust particles in main line. Allow the burner to operate a few minutes until flame turns
blue.
• In coastal areas, a slightly orange flame is unavoidable due to salt air.
