6.Hold the oven control knob in for 10 seconds to make sure the pilot will remain lit.

7.If the oven pilot light truns off after releasing the knob, repeate steps 5 and 6.

8.When the oven pilot remains on, replace the flame spreader, oven bottom tray, and racks.

NOTE: The pilot light will stay light after turning off the oven. The oven burner should turn on the next time a temperature is selected on the oven control knob. If the oven burner does not turn on, repeat previous steps for lighting oven pilot light.

9.Open broiler door.

10.Push in and turn the oven control knob to 350˚ F. The oven pilot should now be larger with the flame burning against a small metal bulb. The oven burner should light in 20-40 seconds; this delay is normal. The oven valve requires a certain time before it will open and allow gas to flow.
