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 turned to the
desired setting, a hot surface ignitor heats to
a bright orange and ignites the gas. No
sparking occurs and the glow bar remains
on while the burner operates.

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.
Note: the cooktop burners have
been set at the factory for proper
operation. No adjustment is
required. If the burner does not have the
proper flame, call your dealer.

do Not insert any object into the openings of
the protective shield that surrounds the
ignitor or clean that area.

Check the oven burner
for proper flame. The flame should
be 1/2" long, with inner cone of
bluish-green, and outer mantle of
dark blue, and should be clean and soft in
character. No yellow tips, blowing or lifting of
flame should occur. If burner does not light,
check that the regulator shutoff valve is in the
"on" position (see Step 11).
