Battery Status Indicator

The battery status indicator on the control panel will show the recommended time to replace the battery.

Battery status indicator

If the battery status indicator lights up red when any of the burner knobs is in the LITE position, then it is recommended you replace the battery with a new 9V DC alkaline battery.

NOTE: If any knob is turned to the LITE position and there is no clicking noise or the battery status does not light, either the battery power is very low or completely discharged, or there is no battery connected to the battery case. In this event, replace the battery or install a new 9V DC alkaline battery.

IMPORTANT: If the range will be unused for a long time, it is recommended that the battery is removed and stored out of reach of children. Reinstall the battery when the range will be used again.

NOTE: Remove the battery before moving the range. Reinstall the battery after the range has been reconnected.

Electronic Ignition System

Initial lighting and gas flame adjustments

Cooktop and oven burners use electronic 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 until the control knob is turned to the desired setting.

When the oven control knob is turned to the “LITE” position, the system creates a spark to light the pilot. The oven bottom has a hole to view the pilot. If the pilot is already lit, turn the oven control knob counterclockwise to completely light the oven burner.

The electronic ignition system requires a 9V DC alkaline battery to create a spark to light the burners (this battery is not included).
