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—
Normal for natural
gas
(B) Yellow tips on
outer cones—
Normal
for LP gas
(A) Yellow flames—
Call for service

CHECK IGNITION OF OVEN BURNER
The oven is designed to operate quietly and
automatically. To operate the oven, set the oven
control 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.
