30" GAS RANGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

(For Models with Sealed Top Burners)

7. Electric Ignition Surface 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.

a.To check for proper lighting, push in and turn a surface burner knob counterclockwise to the LITE position. You will hear the igniter sparking (See Fig. 1).

b.The surface burner should light when gas is available to the top burner. Purge air from supply lines by leaving knob in the LITE position until burner ignites. Each burner should light within four (4) seconds in normal operation after air has been purged from supply lines.

c. Visually check that burner has lit. Once the burner lights, the control knob should be turned out of the LITE position.

Test to verify if “LOW” setting should be adjusted

a.Push in and turn control to LITE until burner ignites.

b.Push in and quickly turn knob to LOWEST POSITION.

c.If burner goes out, reset control to OFF.

d.Remove the surface burner control knob.

e.Insert a thin-bladed screwdriver into the hollow valve stem and engage the slotted screw inside. Flame size can be increased or decreased with the turn of the screw. Turn counterclockwise to increase flame size. Turn clockwise to decrease flame size.

d.There are separate electrodes (igniters) for each burner. Try each knob separately until all burner valves have been checked.

Adjust flame until you can quickly turn knob from LITE to LOWEST POSITION without extinguishing the flame. Flame should be as small as possible without going out.

Note: Air mixture adjustment is not required on surface burners.

Operation of Oven Burners and Oven Adjustments

9. 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, 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 the thermostat is turned ON before the flame appears at the oven burner. When the oven reaches the dial setting, the glowing igniter will go off. The burner flame will go "out" in 20 to 30 seconds after the igniter goes "OFF." To maintain any given oven temperature, this cycle will continue as long as the dial (or display) is set to operate.

After removing all packing materials and literature from the oven:

a)Set oven to BAKE at 300ºF. 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 waist-high 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.
