Electronic Ignition System
Initial lighting and gas flame adjustments
Cooktop and oven burners use pilotless 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.”
When the oven control is turned to the desired setting, a glow bar
igniter heats and ignites the gas.
Check Operation of Cooktop Burners
Standard Surface 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 that 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 household 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, turn the
control knobs to “Off” and 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.
To adjust standard burners:
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. Light 1 burner and turn to lowest setting.
2. Remove the control knob.
Hold the knob stem in the low position using a pair of pliers. Use
an ¹⁄₈" (3.0 mm) 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.
5. Repeat above steps for each burner.
Check Operation of Oven Bake Burner
1. Remove the oven rack.
2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the 2 bake burner cover
screws.
3. Lift up on rear of bake burner cover and remove.
4. Place cover on a protected surface.
5. Press BAKE. “BAKE” and temperatures will show in the
display.
6. Press either Quickset pad or the control panel next to the
temperature on the display.
The igniter used to light the bake burner will glow. Once the
igniter is hot the oven bake burner should light. Under certain
conditions it may take up to 60 seconds for it to light.
Adjust Oven Bake Burner Flame (if needed)
1. Remove storage drawer.
2. Check the oven bake burner for proper flame.
This flame should have a ½" (1.3 cm) long inner cone of
bluish-green, with an outer mantle of dark blue, and should
be clean and soft in character. No yellow tips, blowing or
lifting of flame should occur.
