Electronic Ignition System

Initial lighting and gas flame adjustments.

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

If oven control is turned to the desired setting and sparks, the sparking will continue until oven pilot ignites; then the sparking stops automatically.

surface unit burners. Push in and turn each surface unit control knob to ‘LITE” position. The flame should light within 4 seconds. Do Not leave the knob in the “LITE”position after burner lights.

If burners need adjusting for proper flame, remove burner grates and carefully lift up

the module top. Adjust the air shutter to the widest opening that will produce a sharp blue flame that does not lift or blow off the burner. Repeat as necessary for each burner.
