Electronic ignition system

Cooktop and oven burners use electronic ignitors in place of standing pilots. When a cooktop control knob is turned to the “LIGHT” position, the system creates a spark to light the burner. This sparking continues until the control knob is turned to the desired setting.

When the oven control is turned to the desired setting, a hot surface ignitor heats to a bright orange and ignites the gas. No sparking occurs and the glow bar remains on while the burner operates.

15.Push in and turn each surface unit control knob to “LIGHT” position. The flame should light within 4 seconds. Turn control knob to “HIGH” position after burner lights.

Check each cooktop burner for proper flame. The small inner cone should have a very distinct blue flame 1/4" to 1/2" long. The outer cone is not as distinct as the inner

cone. If the flame is noisy or blowing, it is getting too much air. If the flame is soft and lazy, it is not getting enough air. Turn surface burner control knobs to “OFF” position. Adjust air shutter if needed.

If surface burners need adjusting:

1.Remove control knobs. Do Not use a metal blade to pry off control knob; this could damage the product. If the control knob cannot be easily removed, tuck a cloth under the knob and pull out on the cloth with steady, even pressure to remove the knob.

2.Open oven door and remove 3 screws from bottom of manifold panel. Pull down slightly on manifold panel and pull panel away from range.

•The “BAKE” indicator will light.

•“350” will appear in the display.

2.Press the START/ENTER pad.

•The “PREHEAT” or “HEAT,” and “ON” indicators will appear.

•The display will show the automatic countdown time (10 minutes) needed to preheat the oven for selected temperature.

•The oven burner should light in 50-60 seconds; this delay is normal. The oven valve requires a certain time before it will open and allow gas to flow.

To avoid damaging the hot surface ignitor, Do Not insert any object into the openings of the protective shield that surrounds the ignitor or clean that area.

18.Check the oven burner for proper flame. The flame should be 1/2" long, with inner cone of bluish- green, and outer mantle of dark blue, and should be clean and soft in character. No yellow tips, blowing or

lifting of flame should occur. If burner does not light, check that the regulator shutoff valve is in the “on” position (see Step 11).

3.Using a flat-blade screwdriver, adjust the air shutter for each burner as needed. Close the air shutter to decrease the amount of air to the flame. Open the air shutter to increase the amount of air to the flame. Adjust the air shutter to the widest opening that will not cause the flame to lift or blow off of the burner.

4.Repeat the first part of Step 15 after adjusting the air shutters.

5.Replace manifold panel by tightening 3 screws in bottom of manifold panel.

6.Replace control knobs on valve stems.

16.Push in and turn each cooktop control knob from “LIGHT” to “LOW” setting quickly. The low flame should be a minimum, steady blue flame.

If flame needs to be adjusted, turn control knob to the “LOW” setting and remove control knob. Insert a small flat-blade screwdriver into the valve stem. Turn the valve screw to obtain the smallest flame that will not go out when the control of a cold burner is quickly turned from “HIGH” to “LOW”. Repeat for other cooktop burners as needed.
