Electronic Ignition System

Initial lighting and gas ame adjustments

Cooktop and oven burners use pilotless igniters in place of standing pilots. When the cooktop control knob is turned to the “LITE” position, the system creates a spark to light the burner. This sparking continues, as long as the control knob is turned to “LITE.”

When the oven control is turned to the desired setting, a glow bar igniter heats and ignites the gas.

Check Operation of Cooktop Burners

Standard Surface Burners

Push in and turn each control knob to the “LITE” position. The ame should light within 4 seconds. The rst time a burner

is lit it may take longer than 4 seconds to light because of air in the gas line.

If burners do not light properly:

■ Turn cooktop control knob to the “OFF” position.

■ Check that the range is plugged in and the circuit breaker

has not tripped or the household fuse has not blown.

■ Check that the gas shutoff valve is set to the “open” position.

■ Check that burner caps are properly positioned on burner

bases.

Repeat start-up. If a burner does not light at this point, turn the control knobs to “Off” and contact your dealer or authorized service company for assistance.

Adjust Flame Height

Adjust the height of top burner ames. The cooktop “LO” burner ame should be a steady blue ame approximately 1/4" (0.64 cm) high.

A. Low ﬂame B. High ﬂame

3. Replace the control knob.

4. Test the ame by turning the control from “LO” to “HI,”

checking the ame at each setting.

5. Repeat steps 1 - 4 for each burner.
