Is the burner head and burner cap positioned properly?

The burner cap must be seated on the burner base to light and perform properly. Reinstall the burner cap, making sure the alignment pins are properly aligned with it. The burner cap should fit flush with the burner base and have very little side-to-side movement.

Are the burner port(s) clogged?

Clean burner ports need will help avoid poor ignition and uneven flames. Always clean the burner area after a spillover and preform routine cleaning.

Is LP gas being used?

If LP (propane) gas is being used, the cooktop may have been converted improperly; verify the installation based on the information in the Installation Instruction Guide.
