Electronic Ignition System -
Cooktop and oven burners use
electronic ignitors in place of standing
pilots. When the maintop control knob is
turned to the “LITE”position, the system
creates a spark to light the burner. This
sparking continues until the control
knob isturned to the desired setting.
When the oven control isturned on, the
ignitor will spark until oven burner pilot is
lit.
Check the operation of the maintop
burners. Push in and turn each control
knob to “LITE”position. The flame should
light within 4 seconds.
Do Not leave the knob in the “LITE”
position after burner lights.
18
After buter lights, turn control
knob to “HI” position. Check
each cooktop burner for
proper flame. The small inner
cone should have a very distinct blue
flame l/4” to l/2” long. The outer cone is
not as distinct as the inner cone.
19 w
If burners need adjusting for proper
flame, adjust the air shutter to the
widest opening that will not cause the
flame to lift or blow off the burner.
Repeat as necessary with each burner.
Push in and turn the control knob to the
20
“LITE”position and then to a low position.
n
The low flame should be a minimum,
steady, blue flame.
Check the oven burner for proper
flame. Open the oven door and broiler
drawer. Remove the lower oven rack
and oven bottom. Push in and turn oven
control knob to 300°F. The oven burner
should light in SO-60seconds. This delay
is normal. The oven safety valve requires
a certain time before it will open and
allow gas to flow.
22.
Check the oven burner for proper
flame. Thisflame should be l/2” long,
with inner cone of bluish-green, an outer
mantle of dark blue and should be
clean and soft in character. No yellow
tips, blowing or lifting of flame should
occur.
If oven flame needs to be adjusted,
turn oven off. Loosen screw and adjust
air shutter. Turn oven back on and
23.
check flame. Repeat as needed until
proper flame appears. Tighten screw.
Replace oven bottom and oven rack.
