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 set to the desired setting, a series of sparks lights the oven burner. The sparking will stop when burner gas lights. Sparking will again occur to re-light the burner everytime the burner cycles back on again.

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.

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.
