Electronic Ignition System - Maytag MGT8655XS03 Installation Instructions Manual

Initial lighting and gas flame adjustments
Cooktop and oven burners use pilotless 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, as long as the control knob is turned to
"LITE."
When the oven control is turned to the desired setting, a glow bar
igniter heats and ignites the gas.
