CHECK IGNITION OF OVEN BURNER

Your oven is designed to operate quietly and
automatically. To operate the oven, turn the OVEN
SET knob to BAKE and the OVEN TEMP knob
to a setting above 300°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 TEMP knob.
To check ignition of the broil burner, turn the
OVEN SET knob to BROIL and the OVEN
TEMP knob to BROIL. After 30-90 seconds, the
broil burner will ignite.
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.

SEAL THE OPENINGS

Seal any openings in the wall behind the range
and in the floor under the range when hookups
are completed.

CHECK IGNITION OF SURFACE BURNERS

Surface Burner Ignition

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 snapping 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.
