Open the manual shutoff valve in the gas supply line. The
valve is open when the handle is parallel to the gas pipe.
When the oven control is turned to the desired setting, a hot
surface igniter heats to a bright orange and ignites the gas. No
sparking occurs. The glow bar remains on while the burner
operates.

burner lights. If the flame goes out, turn the control knob to
the "OFF" position.
6. Check each cooktop burner for proper low flame. The low
flame should be a minimum, steady blue flame. The flame size
should be W' to 3/8"(0.64 cm to 0.95 cm) high.
If the low flame needs adjusting:
1. Turn control knob to the "Lo" setting and remove control

Insert a small flat-blade screwdriver into the valve stem. Turn
the valve adjusting screw to obtain the smallest flame that will
not go out when the control of a cold burner is quickly turned
from "HI" to "Lo." Turn right to decrease flame height. Turn left
to increase flame height. Repeat for other cooktop burners as
needed.
7. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Electronic Ignition System
Initial lighting and gas flame adjustments
Cooktop and oven burners use electronic igniters in place of
standing pilots. When the 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.
