Warranty service must be performed by an authorized servicer. We also recommend contacting an authorized servicer, if service is required after warranty expires.
Gas Valve
Bake and broil dual gas valves supply gas to the bake and broil burners. Valves contain a bimetal arms attached to the valve seats. These arms are wrapped with a small electric heater coil. When current range of approximately 3.3 to 3.6 amper flows through the bake or broil circuit, the bimetal arm is heated. Heating causes the arm to bend, allowing gas to flow and be ignited by the burner ignitor.
Surface Burners, Griddle, Charbroil
One spark ignitor is used for each pair of burners. The ignitor is located between the flash tubes covered by a metal bracket to provide a grounding surface for ignition.
The surface burners have standard typical valves with a micro switch, which slides onto the shaft of the valve. When turning the surface valve to lite position, the internal shaft of the valve rotates and turns the micro switch on.
NOTE: If any surface valve is turned to lite position all electrodes will spark.

Functional Operation
Bake or Broil Ignitors
Bake and broil ignitors are mounted to the bake and broil burners. They ignite the gas flowing into the burner.
During bake or broil operations, current flows through the ignitor, gas valve, and thermostat to neutral. As the ignitor heats up and starts glowing, it’s internal resistance decreases. This allows more current to flow through the bake or broil circuit.
When ciruit current reaches approximately 3.3 to 3.6 ampers. The bimetal arm in the gas valve flexes, opening the valve and allowing gas to flow to the burner, where it is ignited by the glowing ignitor. Ignitors glow anytime bake or broil burners are operating and cycle on and off with the thermostat cycling contacts.
Spark System
The spark ignition system consists of a solid state module, spark ignitors, and micro switches.
By turning a surface burner knob to LITE postion. The spark module sends approximately 2 sparks per second to the spark ignitors. This is achieved by turnning the burner knob, which rotates the micro switch located on the valve stem. Which causes a demand for spark from the spark module containing an electronic circuit which produces high voltage pulses.
NOTE: When any surface burner is turned to the “ON” position all surface burners on that circuit will spark.
By turning a oven burner knob to LITE postion. The spark module sends approximately 2 sparks per second to the spark ignitors. This is achieved by turnning the burner knob, which rotates the micro switch located on the valve stem. Which causes a demand for spark from the spark module containning an electronic circuit which produces high voltage pulses.
