To Manually Light Cooktop Burners with Spark Ignition
When you turn the control knob to LITE,all ignitors make anelectric spark (aticking
sound) which lights the selected burner.
During a power failure,
the oven burners cannot be lit and you
should not try to do so. The oven burner
valves will not open up and will prevent
the gasfrom flowing through the burner
valves to the burners.
During a power failure, the burners will not light automatically. In an emergency,
a cooktop burner may be lit with a match by following the steps below:
1,
Light a match and hold the flame near the burner you want to light, Wooden
matches work best.
2.
Pushin and turn the control knob slowly, Be sure you are turning the correct
knob for the burner you are lighting,
Note: If the burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn the knob off
and wait one minute before trying again.
Oven Ignition
When you turn the oven on, the glow bar igniter begins to heat. When the lighter
ishot enough, in about 1 minute, the gas flows into the burner and is ignited.
The igniter glows bright orange when hot. It cycles on and off with the thermostat
and will glow whenever the burner is on,
