Check operation

Electronic ignition system

Cooktop and oven burners use electronic
ignitors in place of standing pilots. When
a cooktop control knob is turned to the
"LITE" 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. The glow bar
remains on while the burner operates.
