Check Operation of Oven/Broil Burner

Electronic oven control (on some models):

1.Open broiler door.

2.Press the “BAKE” pad.

•The “BAKE” indicator will light.

•“350” will appear in the display.

3.Press the START/ENTER pad.

•The “TEMP,” 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 20–40 seconds; this delay is normal. The oven valve requires a certain time before it will open and allow gas to flow. The oven burner will burn until oven temperature has reached 350°F. After 20–40 seconds, the oven burner will begin to cycle on and off to maintain the 350°F temperature.

Broil burner and oven burner are the same burner. Check the broil function as follows:

1.Press the “BROIL” pad.

•“525” will appear in the display.

•The “BROIL” indicator will light.

2.Press the “START/ENTER” pad.

•“TEMP” and “ON” indicators will light.

•The oven burner should light in 20–40 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 igniter, do not insert any object into the openings of the protective shield that surrounds the igniter or clean that area.

3.Check the oven burner for proper flame. The flame should be 1/2" (1.3 cm) long, with inner cone of bluish-green, and outer mantle of dark blue, and should be clean and soft in character. No yellow tips (not enough air), blowing or lifting (too much air) of flame should occur.

Manifold panel oven control (in some models):

1.Open broiler door.

2.Push and turn the oven control knob to 350°F. The oven burner should light in 20-40 seconds, this delay is normal. The oven valve requires a certain time before it will open and allow gas to flow. The oven burner will burn until oven temperature has reached 350°F. After 20-40 seconds, the oven burner will begin to cycle on and off to maintain the 350°F temperature. Make this verification with the knob in the "BROIL" position.

To avoid damaging the hot surface igniter, do not insert any object into the openings of the protective shield that sur- rounds the igniter or clean that area.
