Electronic Ignition System
Initial lighting and gas flame adjustments
Cooktop and oven burners use electronic igniters in place of
standing pilots. When the cooktop control knob is turned to the
“LITE” position, the system creates a spark to light the burner.
This sparking continues, as long as the control knob is turned to
“LITE.”
Check Operation of Cooktop Burners
Push in and turn each control knob to the “LITE” 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:
■ Turn cooktop control knob to the “OFF” position.
■ Check that the range is plugged in and the circuit breaker has
not tripped or the fuse has not blown.
■ Check that the gas shutoff valves are set to the “open”
position.
■ Check that burner caps are properly positioned on burner
bases.
Repeat start-up. If a burner does not light at this point, contact
your dealer or authorized service company for assistance.
Adjust Flame Height
Adjust the height of top burner flames. The cooktop “low” burner
flame should be a steady blue flame approximately ¼" (0.64 cm)
high.
The flame can be adjusted using the adjustment screw in the
center of the valve stem. The valve stem is located directly
underneath the control knob.
If the “low” flame needs to be adjusted:
1. Remove the control knob.
2. Hold the knob stem with a pair of pliers. Use a small flat-
blade screwdriver to turn the screw located in the center of
the control knob stem until the flame is the proper size.
3. Replace the control knob.
4. Test the flame by turning the control from “LO” to “HI,”
checking the flame at each setting.
Check Operation of Oven Element
1. Turn oven selector to BAKE. Default temperature appears in
the temperature display.
2. Press ENTER. The first preheat light comes on when the oven
temperature begins to rise.
3. When the second preheat light comes on, open oven door
and hold hand above oven floor and feel for heat. Do not
touch oven floor. Press CANCEL and turn oven selector to
RESET.
Check Operation of Oven Broil Element
1. Close the oven door.
2. Turn oven selector to BROIL. “HI” will appear in the
temperature display.
3. Press ENTER. Look through oven window. The top element
should glow red, and heat should be radiating out of the door.
Press CANCEL and turn oven selector to RESET.
If oven does not operate:
■ Check that power supply is turned on.
■ Check that the range is plugged in and the circuit breaker has
not tripped or the household fuse has not blown.
Repeat start-up. If the oven still does not operate at this point,
contact your dealer or authorized service company for
assistance.
