Gas cooktop produces a loud popping or booming sound when lighting or during operation.

Safety first: Turn off the burner immediately if you hear loud pops or see flames under the burner cap. Shut off gas if the issue persists.

Steps:

• Clean and realign: Remove the burner cap and head. Clean thoroughly and reinstall, ensuring proper alignment and seating.
• Observe ignition: Light the burner and watch where the flame first appears. It should ignite smoothly at the ports near the electrode, not under the cap.
• Check gas conversion: If the appliance was recently converted between natural gas and LP, verify that the correct Sub-Zero/Wolf conversion kit and regulator setting were used.
• Professional pressure check: If popping continues, have a qualified technician measure manifold pressure and adjust orifices or regulator as needed.

Warning: Repeated delayed ignition can damage burner components and pose a safety risk.
