Electronic Ignition System

Cooktop and oven burners use electronic igniters in place of standing pilots. When a 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.

1.	If control panel and knobs were
	removed earlier, reinstall knobs.
2.	Push in and turn each surface	LITE
	unit control knob to “LITE”
	position. The flame should light
	within 4 seconds.	HI
3.	Turn control knob to “HI”
	position after burner lights.

4. Check each cooktop burner for proper flame. The small inner

cone should have a very distinct blue flame 1/4" (6.4 mm) to 1/2" (13 mm) 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.Place burners, burner caps and grates on the cooktop.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

7.Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

6.Check each cooktop burner for proper low flame. The low flame should be a minimum, steady blue flame. The flame size should be 1/4" to 3/8" (6.4 mm to 9.5 mm) high.

If the low flame needs adjusting:

1.Turn control knob to the “LO” setting and remove control knob.

2.Insert a small flat-blade screwdriver into the valve stem. Turn the valve adjusting screw to obtain the smallest flame that will not go out when the control of a cold burner is quickly turned from “HI” to “LO”. Turn right to decrease flame height. Turn left to increase flame height. Repeat for other cooktop burners as needed.
