Electronic ignition system

Cooktop and oven burners use electronic
ignitors in place of standing pilots. When a
cooktop control knob is turned to the "LIGHT"
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.

Push in and turn each surface unit
control knob to "LITE" position. The flame
should light within 4 seconds. Turn control
knob to "HI" position after burner lights.
Check each cooktop burner for proper flame.
The small inner cone should have a very
distinct blue flame 1/4" to 1/2" long.
The outer cone is not as distinct as
the inner cone. If the flame is noisy
or blowing, it is getting too much
air. If the flame is soft and lazy, it is
not getting enough air. Turn each
surface burner control knob to
"OFF" position. Adjust air shutter if
needed.
If surface burners need adjusting:
Note: The manifold panel must be removed to
access the air shutters.

1. Adjust the air shutter for each burner by hand
as needed. Close the air shutter to decrease
the amount of air to the flame. Open the air
shutter to increase the amount of air to the
flame. Adjust the air shutter to the widest
opening that will not cause the flame to lift or
blow off of the burner.
2. Repeat the first part of Step 16 after adjusting
the air shutters.
