9a, Electric Ignition Burners

Operation of electric ignitersshould be checkedafter range
and supply lineconnectors have been carefully checked for

leaks and range has been connected to electric power.
The oven burner isequipped withan electric control system

as well as an electric oven burner igniter. If your model is
equipped with a waist-high broil burner, it will also have an

electric burner igniter. These control systems require no
adjustment. When the oven is set to operate, current willflow

to the igniter. It will "glow" similar to a light bulb. When the
igniter has reached a temperature sufficient to ignite gas,the

electrically controlled oven valve will open and flame will
appear atthe oven burner. There is atime lapsefrom 30 to 60

seconds after the thermostat isturned ON before the flame
appears at the oven burner. When the oven reaches the dial
setting, theglowing igniter will go off. The burner flame will go

"out" in 20 to 30 seconds after the ignitergoes "OFF." To
maintain any given oven temperature, thiscycle will continue

as long as the dial (or display) is set to operate.
After removing all packing materials and literature from the

oven:
a) Set oven to BAKE at 300-°F. See Owner's Guide for

operating instructions.

b) Within 60 seconds the oven burner should ignite. Check

forproper flame, andallowthe burnerto cycle once. Reset
controls to off.

c) If your model is equipped with a waist-high broiler, set

oven to BROIL. See Owner's Guide for operating
instructions.

d) Within 60 seconds the broil burner should ignite. Check

for proper flame. Reset controls to off.

a) Turn control to LITE until burner ignites.
b) ._ turn knob to LOWEST POSITION.

c) If burner goes out, readjust valve as follows:
Reset control to OFF. Remove the surface burner control

knob, insert a thin-bladed screw driver into the hollow valve
stem and engage the slotted screw inside. Flame size can be
increased or decreased with the turn of the screw. Adjust

flame until you can quickly turn knob from LITE to LOWEST
POSITION without extinguishing the flame. Flame should be
as small as possible without going out.

9b. Standing Pilot Oven Burner
To lightthe oven pilot, proceed as follows:

Turn theoven thermostatknobto OFF. Remove oven bottom,
see step 10 for instructions on removing the oven bottom.

Light the oven pilot with a match. The oven pilot should burn

with astable flame after a few seconds operation and should

have asmall flame visible only at the opening inthe top ofthe
pilot assembly.

Turn oven thermostat knob to 300°F. The oven pilot should

nowbe larger with the flame extending down theslanted ramp

and burning against asmall metal bulb.

Primary Pilot Flame

Waist-High Burner

(SelfClean Models)

After 20-40 seconds, the main oven burner should ignite and
burn until the oven temperature has reached 300°F. At that

time, the oven pilot should get smaller, moving up
away from the metal bulb which will turn off the main oven
burner after20-40 seconds.
