INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS - FREESTANDING GAS RANGE
Check ignition of oven burners.
The operation of oven igniters should be checked after
range and supply line connectors have been carefully
checked for leaks and range has been connected to
electric power. Be sure all packing materials and litera-
ture are removed from oven.
The oven burner is equipped with an electric control sys-
tem as well as an electric oven burner igniter. If your model
is equipped with an upper oven burner, it will also have
an electric burner igniter. These control systems require
no adjustment. When the oven is set to operate, current
will
fl
ow to the igniter. It will “glow” similar to a light bulb.
When the igniter has reached a temperature suf
fi
cient to
ignite gas, the electrically controlled oven valve will open
and
fl
ame will appear at the oven burner. There is a time
lapse from 30 to 60 seconds after the thermostat is turned
ON before the
fl
ame appears at the oven burner. When the
oven reaches the set temperature, the glowing igniter will
cycle off. The burner
fl
ame will turn off in 20 to 30 seconds
after the igniter turns off. To maintain any set oven
temperature, this cycle will continue as long as the oven
control is set to operate.
To check oven burner ignition:
a. Set oven to
Bake
at 300ºF
. See User’s Manual for
operating instructions.
b. Within 60 seconds the oven burner should ignite.
Check for proper
fl
ame, and allow the burner to cycle
once. Reset control to
OFF
.
c. If your model is equipped with a waist-high broiler,
set oven to
Broil
. See User’s Manual for operating
instructions.
d. Within 60 seconds the broil burner should ignite.
Check for proper
fl
ame. Reset control to
OFF
.
Check ignition of surface
burners.
Operation of electric igniters should be checked after
range and supply line connectors have been carefully
checked for leaks and range has been connected to elec-
tric power.
a. To check for proper ignition,
push in and turn
a
surface burner knob
counterclockwise
to the
LITE
position. You will hear the igniter sparking.
b. The surface burner should ignite when gas is available
to the burner. Purge air from supply lines by leaving
knob in the
LITE
position until burner ignites. Each
burner should light within four (4) seconds in normal
operation after air has been purged from supply lines.
c. Visually check that burner has a
fl
ame. Once the
burner ignites, the control knob should be turned out of
the LITE position.
d. Try each surface control knob separately until all
surface burners have been checked. Each burner
location is equipped with a separate electrode.
Adjust LOW setting of surface
burner
valves
(linear
fl
ow).
Test to verify if LOW setting should be adjusted:
a. Push in and turn control to LITE until burner ignites.
b. Push in and quickly turn knob to lowest position.
c. If burner goes out, reset control to OFF.
d. Remove the surface burner control knob.
e. Insert a thin-bladed screwdriver into the hollow valve
stem and engage the slotted screw inside. Flame size
can be increased or decreased with the turn of the
screw (see Fig. 17 amd Fig. 18).
f. Adjust
fl
ame until you can quickly turn knob from
LITE to lowest position without extinguishing the
fl
ame. Flame should be as small as possible without
extinguishing.
Note:
Air mixture adjustments are not required on surface
burners.
