GENERAL INFORMATION
IMPORTANT MODEL & SERIAL
NUMBER INFORMATION
Th Dir ct Spark Ignition Syst m is us d on
Whirlpool gas rang s produc d, b ginning
January 3, 2000, S rial Cod RK02. Th Mod l
numb r of th s units will b a “-5” v rsion of
th curr nt G-lin gas rang .
Exampl : SF365PEGQ5
This Dir ct Spark Ignition Syst m will only b
availabl on s lf-cl aning gas rang s.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Th supply voltag is critical for prop r op ra-
tion of th Dir ct Spark Ignition (DSI) Syst m.
Th r quir m nts ar 102 to 132 VAC with th
prop r polarity and ground. If th l ctrical sup-
ply is l ss than 102 VAC, sparking will not b
r liabl . If th syst m is ov r 132 VAC, p r-
man nt damag to th DSI can occur.
NOTE TO TECHNICIAN: Im ro er olar-
ity will cause the direct s ark ignition
system to malfunction. Always check for
ro er olarity at the wall outlet before
re lacing arts.
Prop r polarity must also b suppli d. If th
supply polarity is r v rs d, th DSI control will
not b abl to d t ct th pr s nc of a flam .
R v rs polarity will not aff ct th cooktop op-
ration, but th Bak and Broil burn rs will fail
to r main lit.
A prop r ground is also r quir d. Th DSI con-
trol g n rat s a significant amount of l ctri-
cal nois . This nois is minimiz d by clamp-
ing th nois to ground. If a prop r ground is
not conn ct d, th ERC may p riodically dis-
play “PF,” which m ans that a r s t has oc-
curr d in th ERC.
GAS REQUIREMENTS
Gas supply pr ssur should b a minimum of
7˝ wat r column pr ssur for natural gas, and
11˝ wat r column pr ssur for L.P. gas. How-
v r, th gas distribution valv should main-
tain 4˝ wat r column pr ssur for natural gas,
and 10˝ wat r column pr ssur for L.P. gas.
