above 200°F. The pilot flame will increase in size
and impinge on the temperature-response element.
The oven burner will light in 30-60 seconds.
The oven burner will operate until the set

continue to cycle on and off as necessary to
maintain the oven at the temperature indicated
by the OVEN CONTROL knob.
CHECK IGNITION OF EACH BURNER
Operation of all cooktop and oven burners should
be checked after the pilots have been lighted (on
models so equipped) and range and gas supply
lines have been carefully checked for leaks.

Electric Ignition Models
Select a top burner knob and simultaneously
push in and turn to LITE position. You will hear a
snapping sound indicating proper operation of the
spark module. Once the air has been purged from
the supply lines, burners should light within 4
