BAKE & BROIL SOLENOID-
ACTIVATED PORTS
The bake and broil gas supply ports are opened
and closed by electrically-operated solenoids.
When voltage is received from the spark
ignition control for the bake or broil function,
(8-18 VDC), the solenoid for that function is
activated, and the valve opens to allow gas
flow to the burner. The electrical connections
at the valve consist of three terminals, each
one sized differently to prevent incorrect wir-
ing (see below).
The solenoids require special voltage/current
(8 - 18 VDC) from the direct spark ignition con-
trol to operate properly. IMPORTANT: Do not
attempt to operate the solenoids with any
other voltage supply.
Electrical Terminals:
Broil = 1/8˝ wide
Common = 1/4˝ wide
Bake = 3/16˝ wide
