KitchenAid 8302472A installation instructions Electronic Ignition System - initial lighting

Check the operation of the surface burners.

16.

Electronic Ignition System — initial lighting

Surface burners use electronic ignitors in place of standing pilots. When the cooktop control knob is pushed in and 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.

16A. Push in and turn the surface burner knobs to the “LITE” position. The surface burner flame should light within 4 seconds.

After lighting the burners, turn the control knobs to "OFF".

If burners do not light properly, turn control knob to the “OFF” position. Check that burner cap is in the proper position. Check that circuit breaker has not tripped or house fuse has not blown. Check that the manual gas shutoff valve is in the “ON” position. Check operation again.

If a surface burner does not light at this point, contact your KitchenAid dealer for assistance.

16B. Adjusting the surface burner or grille flame:

NOTE: there is no adjustment for the griddle flame. Gas flow is at 100%, temperature is controlled by thermostat.

Push in and turn each control knob to the “LO” position. The “LO” setting of each burner has been factory set to the lowest position available to provide reliable reignition of the burner. If it does not stay lit on the “LO” position, check “LO” position as follows:

a. Turn control knob to “LITE” until burner ignites.

b. Quickly turn control knob down to “LO” position.

c. If burner goes out, readjust valve as follows:

Remove control knob. Insert a flat-blade screwdriver into the hollow valve stem and engage the slotted screw. Flame size can be increased or decreased by turning the screw. Adjust flame until you can quickly turn control knob from “HI” to “LO” position without extinguishing the flame. Flame should be as small as possible without going out.

16C. Check flame on “HI” for a blue color. It should be clean and soft in character. No yellow tip, blowing or lifting of flame should occur. Occasional orange flashes are normal and reflect different elements in the air or gas.

17. Check operation of oven element. Turn oven selector to “BAKE”. “350F” will show on display. Press “Enter”. First Preheat light comes on when oven temperature begins to rise. When second Preheat light comes on, open oven door and hold hand above oven floor and feel for heat. Do not touch oven floor. Press “Cancel” and turn oven selector to “Reset”.

18. Check the operation of the broiler element. Turn oven selector to “BROIL”. “HI” will show on display. Press “Enter”. Look through oven window. The top element should glow red and heat should be radiating out of the door. Press “Cancel” and turn oven selector to “Reset”.

If the oven does not operate, check that power supply is turned on, that no fuses are blown, or no circuit breakers are tripped. If the oven still does not operate, contact your KitchenAid dealer or designated service company.

19. Reinstall the bottom vent pushing it upward until the holes line up at top of vent. Reattach the vent using the 4 screws removed in step 2. Reinstall the 2 side trim pieces using the 4 screws (2 each side) removed in step 2.

20. Place burner grates over burner caps. The simmer plate may set on one of the grates or be stored for future use. (See Use and Care Guide.)
