Operation of Electric Ignition Oven Burners
and Oven Adjustments
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.
The oven burner is equipped with an electric
control system as well as an electric oven burner
igniter. If your model is equipped with a waist-
high broil burner, it will 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. It will “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 at the oven burner. There
is a time lapse from 30 to 60 seconds after the
thermostat is turned ON before the flame
appears at the 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.
b) Within 60 seconds the oven burner should
ignite. Check for proper flame, and allow the
burner to cycle once. Reset controls to off.
c) If your model is equipped with a waist-high
broiler, set oven to BROIL.
d) Within 60 seconds the broil burner should
ignite. Check for proper flame. Reset controls
to off.
Surface Burner Air Adjustment if Necessary
1. Raise the cooktop. The air shutter (adjustment)
for each of the four surface burners is located at
the open end of the tube and sets on the hood of
the valve.
2. Should the air shutter need adjusting, rotate
the air shutter to allow more or less air into the
burner tubes as needed.
3. If the air is properly adjusted, the flame will
be steady, relatively quiet, and have
approximately 1/2
² sharp blue cone. (Usually
about the center of air shutter’s adjustment.)
If the flame is yellow in color, increase air shutter
opening size. If the flame is a distinct blue, but
lifting away from the burner, reduce the air
shutter opening size.
