10.5 Operation of Oven Burners and Oven
Adjustments
10.5.1 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 igniter, 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. It 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 thermostat is turned ON before the flame
appears at the oven burner. When the oven reaches the
display setting, the glowing igniter will go off. The burner
flame will go "out" in 20 to 30 seconds after igniter goes
"OFF". To maintain any given oven temperature, this
cycle will continue as long as the display is set to operate.
After removing ail packing materials and literature from
the oven:
a) Set the oven to BAKE at 300%. 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 high-waist broiler, set
oven to broil. See Use & Care Guide for operating
instructions.
d) Within 60 seconds the broil burner should ignite. Check
for proper flame. Reset controls to off.

Lower Oven Bottom
_t--Air Shutter (removable)
Figure 13
The approximate oven burner flame length is 1 inch
(distinct inner cone of 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.
To remove the oven bottom, remove oven hold down
screws at rear of oven bottom. Pull up at rear,
disengage front of oven bottom from oven front
frame, and pull the oven bottom out of the oven.
Remove burner baffle so that burner flame can be
observed.
If the flame is yellow, increase air shutter opening size
(see "2" in Figure 14). If the entire flame is blue,
reduce the air shutter opening size.
To adjust frame loosen lock screw (see "3" in Figure
14), reposition air shutter, and tighten lock screw.
Replace oven bottom.

10.5.3 Air Shutter-Broil Burner
The approximate flame length of the burner is 1 inch
(distinct inner cone of blue flame). To determine if the broil
burner flame is proper, set the oven to broil. If flame is
yellow, increase air shutter opening size (see "2" in Figure
14 ). If the entire flame is blue, reduce the air shutter
opening size. To adjust, loosen lock screw (see "3" in
Figure 14), reposition air shutter, and tighten lock screw.
When Aii Hookups are Complete
Make sure all controls are left in the OFF position.
Make sure the flow of combustion and ventilation air to
the range is unobstructed.
Model and Serial Number Location
The serial plate is located on the oven front frame
behind the oven door (some models) or on the drawer
side frame (some models).
When ordering parts for or making inquiries about your
range, always be sure to include the model and serial
numbers and a lot number or letter from the serial plate
on your range.
Your serial plate also tells you the rating of the burners,
the type of fuel and the pressure the range was adjusted
for when it left the factory.
