used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to
avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
■ Use Care When Opening Door – Let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing food.
■ Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers – Build-up of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.
■ Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.
■ DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF OVEN – Heating elements may be hot
even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an
oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after
use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of

Electronic Ignition System
Initial Lighting and Gas Flame Adjustments
Cooktop and oven burners use electronic 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, sparking
occurs and ignites the gas.
Check Operation of Cooktop Burners
Standard Surface Burners
Push in and turn each control knob to the “LITE” position.
The flame should light within 4 seconds. The first 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.
■ 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 the “OFF” position and contact your dealer or
authorized service company for assistance.
Power Failure
In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit
manually. Hold a lit match near a burner, and turn knob
counterclockwise to LITE. After the burner lights, turn knob to
desired setting.
Adjust Flame Height
Adjust the height of top burner flames. The cooktop “low” burner
flame should be a steady blue flame approximately 1/4" (6.4 mm)
high.
A. Low flame
B. High flame
To adjust standard burner:
The flame 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” flame needs to be adjusted:
A. Control knob stem
B. Screwdriver
C. Pliers
1. Light 1 burner and turn to lowest setting.
2. Remove the control knob.
Hold the knob stem with a pair of pliers. Use a small flat blade
screwdriver to turn the screw located in the center of the
control knob stem until the flame is the proper size.
3. Replace the control knob.
4. Test the flame by turning the control from “LO” to “HI,”
checking the flame at each setting.
5. Repeat the previous steps for each burner.
Check Operation of Oven Bake Burner
