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, as long as the control knob is turned to “LITE.”

When the oven control is turned to the desired setting, sparking occurs and ignites the gas.

Check Operation of Cooktop Burners

Standard Surface Burners

Push in and turn each control knob to the “LITE” position.

The flame should light within 4 seconds. The first time a burner is lit it may take longer than 4 seconds to light because of air in the gas line.

If burners do not light properly:

■Turn cooktop control knob to the “OFF” position.

■Check that the range is plugged in. Check that the circuit breaker has not tripped or the household fuse has not blown.

■Check that the gas shutoff valves are set to the “open” position.

■Check that burner caps are properly positioned on burner bases.

Repeat start-up. If a burner does not light at this point, turn the control knobs to “Off” and contact your dealer or authorized service company for assistance.

Adjust Flame Height

Adjust the height of top burner flames. The cooktop “low” burner flame should be a steady blue flame approximately ¼" (0.64 cm) high.
