CHECK IGNITION OF SURFACE
BURNERS
Operation of all cooktop and oven burners
should be checked after the range and gas
supply lines have been carefully checked for
leaks.
Electric Ignition Models
Select a top burner knob and simultaneously
push in and turn to
LITE
position. You will hear
a
clicking
sound indicating proper operation of
the spark module. Once the air has been purged
from the supply lines, burners should light
within 4 seconds. After burner lights, rotate
knob out of the
LITE
position. Try each burner
in succession until all burners have been
checked.
Quality of Flames
The combustion quality of burner flames needs
to be determined visually.
If burner flames look like (A), call for service.
Normal burner flames should look like (B) or
(C), depending on the type of gas you use.
With LP gas, some yellow tipping on outer
cones is normal.
(C) Soft blue
flames—

CHECK IGNITION OF OVEN BURNER
The oven is designed to operate quietly and
automatically. To operate the oven, turn the
OVEN CONTROL
knob to a setting above 200°F.
After 30–90 seconds, the oven burner will ignite
and burn until the set temperature is reached.
The oven burner will continue to cycle on and
off as necessary to maintain the oven at the
temperature indicated by the
OVEN CONTROL
knob.
Electric ignition models
require electrical power
to operate. In case of a power outage, the oven
burners on these models cannot be lit manually
with a match. Gas will not flow unless the glow
bar is hot.
If the oven is in use when a power outage
occurs, the burner will shut off and cannot be
re-lit until power is restored.
