Operation of electric igniters should be checked after range and
supply line connectors have been carefully checked for leaks
and range has been connected to electric power.
a.
To check for proper lighting, push in and turn a surface
burner knob counterclockwise
to the LITE position. You
will hear the igniter sparking.
The surface burner should light when gas is available to
the top burner. Purge air from supply lines by leaving knob
in the LITE position until burner ignites. Each burner
should light within four (4) seconds in normal operation
after air has been purged from supply lines.
c.
Visually check that burner has lit. Once the burner lights,
the control knob should be turned out of the LITE position.
d.
There are separate electrodes (igniters) for each burner.
Try each knob separately until all burner valves have been
checked.

9. Electric Ignition Burners
Operation of electric igniters should be checked after range
and supply line connectors have been carefully checked for
leaks and range has been connected to electric power.
The oven burner is equipped with an electric control system
as well as an electric oven burner igniter. If your model is
equipped with a waist-high broil burner, it will also have an
electric burner igniter. These control systems require no
adjustment. When the oven is set to operate, current will flow
to the igniter, tt will "glow" similar to a light bulb. When the
igniter has reached a temperature sufficient to ignite gas, the
electrically controlled oven valve will open and flame will
appear at the oven burner. There is a time lapse from 30 to 60
seconds after the thermostat is turned ON before the flame
appears at the oven burner. When the oven reaches the dial
setting, the glowing igniter will go off. The burner flame will go
"out" in 20 to 30 seconds after the igniter goes "OFF." To
maintain anygiven oven temperature, this cycle will continue
as long as the dial (or display) is set to operate.
After removing all packing materials and literature from the
oven:
a)
Set oven to BAKE at 300°F. See Use & Care Guide for
operating instructions.
b)
Within 60 seconds the oven burner should ignite. Check
for proper flame, and allow the burner to cycle once.
Reset controls to off.
c)
If your model is equipped with a waist-high
broiler, set
oven to BROIL. See Use & Care Guide for operating
instructions.
d)
Within 60 seconds the broil burnershould
ignite. Check
for proper flame. Reset controls to off.
10. Air Shutter-Oven
Burner
The approximate flame length of the oven burner is 1 inch
(distinct inner, blue flame).
To determine if the oven burner flame is proper, remove the
oven bottom and burner baffle and set the oven to bake at
300°F.
