Electronic Ignition System; Check Operation Of Oven Broil Burner - Whirlpool 30" Installation Instructions Manual

Check operation
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 "LIGHT" position. The flame
should light within 4 seconds. Turn control
knob to "HIGH" position after burner lights.
Check each cooktop burner for proper flame.
The small inner cone should have a very
distinct blue flame l/4" to l/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 surface
burner control knobs to "OFF"
position. Adjust air shutter if
needed.
lf surface burners need adjusting:
1. Lift up cooktop maintop until it is held in
place by support rods.

2.Adjust the air shutter for each burner by hand

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.
3. Repeat the first part of Step 15 after adjusting
the air shutters.
