STEP 8 - CHECK OPERATION OF ELECTRONIC
IGNITION SYSTEM
The cooktop and oven burners use electronic igniters in place of standing
pilots. When the cooktop control knob is
pressed and turned
to the “
”
position, the system creates a spark to light the burner.
This sparking continues, as long as the control knob is
pressed.
When the oven control is
pressed and
turned to the desired setting, sparking
occurs and ignites the gas.
Check Operation of Standard Surface Burners:
Push in and turn each control knob to the “
” 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:
1.
Turn burner control knob to the “OFF” position.
2.
Check that the range is plugged in. Check that the circuit breaker has not tripped
or the household fuse has not blown.
3.
Check that the gas shutoff valves are set to the “open” position.
4.
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
the “OFF” position and contact your dealer or authorized service company for
assistance.
To adjust flame height:
Adjust the height of burner flames. The cooktop “low” burner flame should be a
steady blue flame approximately 1/4" (6.4 mm) high.

To adjust standard burner:
IMPORTANT:
Adjustments must be made with two other burners in operation on
a medium setting. This prevents the upper row of flames from being set too low,
resulting in the flame being extinguished when other burners are turned on.
The flame can be adjusted using the adjustment screw in the center of the valve
stem. The valve stem is located directly behind the control knob.
