Operation
of Oven Burners
and Oven
Adjustments
11.5.1 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 all packing materials and literature from
the oven:
a) Set the oven to BAKE at 300°F. 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.

11.&2 Air Shutter-Oven
Burner
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 17). If the entire flame is blue, reduce
the air shutter opening size.
To adjust frame loosen lock screw (see "3" in Figure 17),
reposition air shutter, and tighten lock screw. Replace
oven bottom.
11.5.3 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 17). If the entire flame is blue, reduce the air
shutter opening size. To adjust, loosen lock screw (see
"3" in Figure 17), reposition air shutter, and tighten lock
screw.

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.
