7. Electric ignition 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 electric power.
a. To check for proper lighting, push in and turn a surface
burner knob counterclockwise to the LITE position. You
will hear the igniter sparking (See Fig. 1).
b.
The surface burner should light when gas is available to
the top 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 lit. Once the burner lights,
the control knob should be turned out of the LITE position.
Test to verify if "LOW" setting should be adjusted

The oven burner isequipped with an electric control system as
well as an electric oven burner igniter. Ifyour model isequipped
with awaist-high broil burner, itwill also have an electric burner
igniter. These control systems require no adjustment. When
the oven is set to operate, current will flow to the igniter. Itwill
"glow" similar to a light bulb. When the igniter has reached a
temperature sufficient to ignite gas, the electrically controlled
oven valve will open and flame will appear atthe oven burner.
There is a time lapse from 30 to 60 seconds after the
thermostat isturned ON before the flame appears atthe oven
burner. When the oven reaches the dial setting, the glowing
igniter will go off. The burner flame will go "out" in 20 to 30
seconds after the igniter goes "OFF." To maintain any given
oven temperature, this cycle will continue as long as the dial
(or display) is set to operate.
After removing all packing materials and literature from the
oven:
a) Set oven to BAKE at 300°F. See Use & Care Guide for
operating instructions.
b) Within60secondstheovenburnershouldignite. Check
for properflame, and allowthe burner tocycle once. Reset
