CHECK IGNITION OF OVEN BURNER
Your oven is designed to operate quietly and
automatically. To operate the oven, turn the
OVEN CONTROL knob to a setting above
200°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
CONTROL knob.
Electric ignition models require electrical
power to operate. The oven cannot be lit during
a power outage. 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.

CHECK IGNITION OF SURFACE BURNERS
Operation of all cooktop and oven burners
should be checked after the pilots have been
lighted (on some models) and range and gas
supply lines have been carefully checked
for leaks.
Standing Pilot Models
Select a top burner knob and simultaneously
push in and turn to HI position. The burner
should light within a few seconds. Try each
burner in succession until all burners have
been checked.
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.
