• Regulates gas to a surface burner for ignition and flame size control
• Sticking or worn internal seals can cause hard-to-turn operation or gas odor
• Failure may prevent the burner from lighting or shutting off completely
• Inconsistent or unresponsive flame adjustment can indicate a failing valve

• Disconnect power and shut off the gas supply before servicing
• Allow the appliance to cool; access the valve/manifold per your model's instructions

• After installation, restore gas and check all joints with an approved leak-detection solution; verify proper burner operation
