CAUSE
•You have not set the electronic control correctly. Refer to
the section in this manual describing the function you are
operating.
•You have programmed a delayed start time. Wait for the
start time to be reached or cancel and reset the control.
•The range is not plugged or wired into a live outlet or circuit
with the proper voltage. (See Installation Instructions.)
•You have blown a household fuse or tripped a circuit
breaker. In case of prolonged power failure, manually light
burners (see page 13).
•The burner ports are clogged. Clean with a straight pin
(see page 15).
•The burner ports are clogged. Clean with a straight pin
(see page 15). If this fails, call for service.
•The air/gas mixture is incorrect. Contact a service techni-
cian to check it.
•The burner is wet from washing. Let dry.
•It is normal for all four burners to spark briefly when:
–A burner is turned on, but has not yet ignited.
–There is a draft blowing on burners.
–A very large pot on burner causes flame to be unstable.
No action is needed. Burner operation is not affected and
the sparking should end when the ignited flame is burning
undisturbed.
•Continuous sparking may be caused when:
–A spillover has wet ignition switch contacts. Turn on one
or two burners or disconnect electrical supply to let
switch dry out.
–There is a faulty spark module. Contact a service
technician to replace module.
–The wall outlet wiring is incorrect. Contact a qualified
electrician to correct wiring, if needed.
•It is normal for the fan to automatically run during Bake
or Broil to cool the electronic control.
