DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURES - RST MODELS

FIRE OR EXPLOSION - TO AVOID THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH, DISCONNECT POWER TO THE OVEN BEFORE SERVICING.

OVEN BURNER IGNITOR

1.Disconnect electricity at main disconnect plug.

2.Remove oven door, racks and oven bottom.

3.Remove lower storage drawer.

4.Locate the two (2) wire leads attached to the oven burner ignitor assembly. Access to the leads is located behind the storage drawer area. Remove the two (2) wire nuts securing the oven burner ignitor leads to the violet wires. (Note the position and configuration of ignitor assembly to the oven burner.)

5.Remove the screw securing the oven burner ignitor assembly mounting bracket to the oven burner and two (2) screws securing the ignitor bracket to the rear oven wall.

6.Remove the entire oven ignitor assembly. Slide ignitor to the left keeping ignitor assembly horizontal.

BROIL BURNER IGNITOR

1.Disconnect electricity at main disconnect plug.

2.Remove the oven door and oven racks.

3.Remove the two (2) hex head screws securing the broiler burner ignitor shield bracket to the mounting bracket attached to the cavity wall.

4.Pull ignitor slowly toward the front of the oven cavity until the white wires connecting to the ignitor are visible.

5.Grasp the one (1) "WHITE" ignitor lead and GENTLY PULL until the wire nut and approximately four (4) inches of the attached wire is inside the oven com- partment. Repeat procedure for remaining ignitor lead. The hole in the left side of the oven wall is large enough to clean only "ONE" (1) wire nut at a time.

6.Remove the tape and wire nut from each of the ignitor assembly lead wires.

7.Reverse procedure to reinstall the broiler burner ignitor assembly. Reconnect wires tightly and retape the wire nuts. Be certain to insert wire nuts through oven back and combustion chamber.

Then, pushing two (2) "WHITE" ignitor leads through the hole until the broiler burner ignitor mounting bracket is in position to be reattached to the broiler burner. Check position of the ignitor to burner. Correct position is important for proper ignition.

CARE MUST BE TAKEN WHILE HANDLING THE IGNITOR ASSEMBLY TO PREVENT BREAKAGE. DO NOT INTERCHANGE A ROUND IGNITOR FOR A FLAT TYPE OR VICE VERSA. THEIR CURRENT RATINGS ARE DIFFERENT.

OVEN ELECTRIC GAS VALVE

1.Disconnect electricity at main disconnect plug.

2.Remove storage drawer.

3.Shut off main gas supply to range or shut off gas supply to gas valve at inlet pipe shut off valve.

4.Disconnect the four (4) wires from the gas valve assembly. Violet and Blue - Bake, Brown and White - Broil.

5.Disconnect main gas tubing from inlet pipe to gas valve at "elbow" on gas valve. Be certain to double wench the fitting to avoid damage.

6.Disconnect the broiler supply gas outlet line located on the right side of the gas valve assembly. Be certain to double wrench the fitting to avoid damage. Similarly disconnect the bake outlet line on the left side of the valve assembly.

7.Remove the four (4) NUTS from the mounting studs which secure the gas valve assembly to the gas valve mounting bracket.

8.Remove gas valve and gas inlet tubing from range, reinstall gas inlet tubing or new gas valve.

9.To reinstall gas valve assembly, reverse procedure.

10.Check all gas connections with soap for gas leaks.

11.Refer to the wiring diagram on the range for correct wire termination. Be certain all insulator sleeves are reinstalled and insulating pads are on the valve terminals.

BROILER BURNER

1.Disconnect electricity at main disconnect plug.

2.Remove oven door and oven racks.

3.Remove the two (2) screws securing the broiler burner to the top front of the broiler cavity.

NOTE: Ignitor is not mounting to broiler but to top of broiler cavity. Edge flange of broiler rests on top of the ignitor shield flange.

4.Lower front of broiler and twist slightly to clear broiler flange from top of ignitor flange.

5.Pull down gently, then forward to remove broiler burner.

NOTE: Care must be taken to avoid damaging the ignitor or the burner screening.

6.Reverse procedure to reinstall broiler burner. Be sure burner flange rests on top of ignitor flange.

OVEN BURNER

1.Disconnect electricity at main disconnect plug.

2.Remove oven door, oven racks, and oven bottom.

3.Loosen oven burner ignitor and set aside.

4.Remove screw securing oven burner to mounting bracket at front of lower burner base.

5.Gently turn and pull oven burner to come out.

6.Reverse procedure to reinstall oven burner.
