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.
Check operation of cooktop
15.
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.
16.
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.
