Electronic Ignition System —
Initial lighting and gas flame adjustments.
Cooktop and oven burners use electronic ignitors 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 as long as the control knob is turned to “LITE”.
When the oven control is turned to the desired setting, a glow bar heats up bright orange and ignites the gas. No sparking occurs and the glow bar remains on while the burners operate.
