If the oven or broiler pilot does not ignite and maintain the flame, check the
following:
1. The pilot burner has gone out. Relight the oven or broiler pilot
2. The pilot will not keep the flame safety probe heated. Adjust the size of
the pilot flame or the thermocouple connection at the thermostat may need
to be tightened.
3. The flame safety probe may not be properly located. Locate the probe
directly over the pilot burner. The end of the flame safety probe must be
very close to the side of the burner right in front of the flame ports.
4. The pilot burner is not in its proper position. Make sure the rear of the
burner is seated on the injector elbow and the front is bolted onto the burner
support.
5. The spark electrode is defective. Contact an authorized service technician
If the batteries have grown weak and you need to use the oven or broiler before you
are able to replace with fresh batteries, the oven or broiler can be lit manually.
Hot Oven Restart
If you turn off the oven but then decide to turn it back on before it has cooled to
room temperature, the burner may not light properly. This is due to the thermostat
still sensing “heated oven” and not allowing the maximum gas flow rate into the
burner. After the burner lights, you may adjust the oven control to the desired
temperature.
It is essential to maintain the gas pressure constantly at 10 inches water column
pressure for ranges set for Propane (LP) Gas; and 4'' water column pressure for
ranges set for Natural Gas (NG) to get proper pilot performance.
Note: Burner rates specified on the rating plate of your range apply for elevations up
to 2,000 feet above sea level. For locations where altitudes are higher than 2,000 feet
above sea level the b.t.u. rated input should be reduced four percent for each 1,000
feet higher than 2,000 feet above sea level. If this adjustment is necessary, you should
contact a qualified serviceman. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE THE RANGE
YOURSELF.
MOISTURE: Moisture can have the same effect on the oven ignitor as the pilot
flame. If sparking does not occur when the oven thermostat knob is turned on
during the initial attempt to use or after several days of non-use, it COULD BE the
result of moisture build-up in the ceramic sleeve of the oven electrode. This may
happen in areas with high humidity, or if food having high water content is cooked.
This moisture can be driven out of the ignitor by lighting the pilot and operating the
oven for a few minutes.
