Electronic ignition system

Cooktop and oven burners use electronic
ignitors in place of standing pilots. When a
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 set to the desired
setting, a series of sparks lights the oven
burner. The sparking will stop when burner
gas lights. Sparking will again occur to re-light
the burner everytime the burner cycles back
on again.
Check operation of cooktop
15.
After air has been purged from gas
line, push in and turn each surface unit control
knob to "LIGHT" position. The flame should
light within 4 seconds. Turn control knob to
"HIGH" position after burner lights.
Check each cooktop burner for
proper flame. The small inner cone
should have a very distinct blue
flame 1/4" to 1/2" long. The outer
cone is not as distinct as the inner
cone.

Push in and turn each cooktop
control knob from "LIGHT" to "LOW" setting
quickly. The low flame should be a minimum,
steady blue flame.
If flame needs to be adjusted, turn control
knob to the "LOW" setting and remove control
knob. Insert a small flat-blade screwdriver into
the valve stem. Turn the valve screw to obtain
the smallest flame that will not go out when
the control of a cold burner is quickly turned
from "HIGH" to "LOW". Repeat for other
cooktop burners as needed.
