OPERATION OF RANGE (continued)
Lighting the Oven
1. Depending on how long the gas line run is, it may take a while to light the oven pilot. It
is suggested that you light a top burner first to ensure the gas is at the valve.
2. Push in on oven knob and turn to the ignition position, you will hear the electronic
ignition. Hold until the oven pilot lights. Once lit, count to 10 then release. It should
now stay lit; if not, repeat. You can view the pilot by opening the broiler door and look
towards the back.
3. Once the oven pilot has been lit, lightly press in the oven control knob and turn counter
clockwise to the desired temperature setting. Gently let up on the knob, and the
thermostat shaft will release its safety key to let you rotate the control.
4. When finished cooking, you may turn the oven control knob back to the “OFF” position.
This will turn off the main oven burner and the pilot.
NOTE:
If you are using the oven for the first time, or the oven has not been used in several
days, it may take multiple attempts to successfully light. If the ignitor pilot will not stay lit
after 5 attempts, contact an authorized service technician.
If the oven pilot does not ignite and maintain the flame, check the following:
1.
The pilot burner has gone out.
Relight the oven pilot
2.
The thermocouple may not be properly located.
Locate the thermocouple into the
flame more otherwise not enough millivolts will be created.
3.
The spark electrode is defective.
Contact an authorized service technician.
If the batteries have grown weak and you need to use the oven before you are able to
replace with fresh batteries, the oven can be lit manually.
NOTE:
The burner levels specified on the range rating plate apply to elevations up to
2,000 ft / 610 m above sea level.
In locations where the elevation is greater than 2,000 ft / 610 m above sea level, the BTU
input should be reduced to four percent for every 1,000 ft / 305 m increase in the level.
2,000 ft / 610 m above sea level. In the event that this adjustment is necessary, we advise
you to contact a qualified service technician. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE THE RANGE
