make a clicking noise.
When the battery needs to be replaced, follow these instructions
and remove the old battery before inserting a new battery.
Properly dispose of the old battery. See the “Battery Status
Indicator” section to know when to replace the battery.
Battery Status Indicator
■ The battery status indicator on the control panel will show the
recommended time to replace the battery.
■ If the battery status indicator lights up red when any of the
burner knobs is in the LITE position, then it is recommended
you replace the battery with a new 9V DC alkaline battery.
NOTE: If any knob is turned to the LITE position and there is no
clicking noise or the battery status does not light, either the
battery power is very low or completely discharged, or there is no
battery connected to the battery case. In this event, replace the
battery or install a new 9V DC alkaline battery.
IMPORTANT: If the range will be unused for a long time, it is
recommended that the battery is removed and stored out of reach
of children. Reinstall the battery when the range will be used again.
NOTE: Remove the battery before moving the range. Reinstall
the battery after the range has been reconnected.
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 until the control knob is turned to the
desired setting.
When the oven control knob is turned to the “LITE” position, the
system creates a spark to light the pilot. The oven bottom has a
hole to view the pilot. If the pilot is already lit, turn the oven control
knob counterclockwise to completely light the oven burner.
The electronic ignition system requires a 9V DC alkaline battery
to create a spark to light the burners (this battery is not included).
