What should I do if my surface burners won't light?

First, ensure the surface control knob has been completely turned to LITE position. If still not lighting, the burner ports may be clogged—use a small-gauge wire or needle to clean the ports with the burner OFF. For electric ignition models, verify the range power cord is securely plugged into the outlet. If there's a power outage, surface burners can be lit manually using a lit match.
