Electronic Ignition System

Initial lighting and gas ame adjustments
Cooktop and oven burners use electronic igniters in place of standing pilots. When the cooktop control knob is turned to the “LIGHT” position, the system creates a spark to light the burner.
This sparking continues until the control knob is turned to the desired setting. When the oven control is turned to the desired setting, a hot surface igniter heats to a bright orange and ignites the gas. No sparking occurs. The glow bar remains on while the burner operates.
To adjust standard burner:
The ame can be adjusted using the adjustment screw in the center of the valve stem. The valve stem is located directly underneath the control knob.
If the “low” ame needs to be adjusted:

Hold the knob stem with a pair of pliers. Use a small atblade screwdriver to turn the screw located in the center of the control knob stem until the ame is the proper size.
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 the previous steps for each burner.
Check Operation of Cooktop Burners
Standard Surface Burners
Push in and turn each control knob to the “LIGHT” 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. Check that the circuit
breaker has not tripped or the household fuse has not blown.
■ Check that the gas shutoff valves are set to the “open”
position.
