4.Push range back into position.

5.Check that rear leveling leg is engaged in anti-tip bracket.

Electronic Ignition System

Initial lighting and gas flame adjustments

Cooktop and oven burners use electronic igniters 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.

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

Check Operation of Cooktop Burners

1.If control panel and knobs were removed earlier, reinstall knobs.

2.Push in and turn each surface unit control knob to the “LITE” position. The flame should light within 4 seconds.

3.Turn control knob to the “HI” position after burner lights.

4.Check each cooktop burner for proper flame. The small inner cone should have a very distinct blue flame ¼" (0.64 cm) to ½" (0.13 cm) long. The outer cone is not as distinct as the inner cone.

5.Turn the control knob quickly to the “LO” position after the burner lights. If the flame goes out, turn the control knob to the “OFF” position.

6.Check each cooktop burner for proper low flame. The low flame should be a minimum, steady blue flame. The flame size should be ¼" to ³⁄₈" (0.64 cm to 0.95 cm) high.

If the low flame needs adjusting:

1.With the burner flame on, turn control knob to the “Lo” setting and remove control knob.
