Electronic Ignition System

Initial lighting and gas flame adjustments
Cooktop and oven burners use electronic igniters in place of standing pilots. When the cooktop control knob is turned to the “IGNITE” position, the system creates a spark to light the burner this sparking continues until the control knob is turned to the desired setting.
When the oven control is turned to the desired setting, a hot surface igniter heats to bright orange and ignites the gas. No sparking occurs. The glow bar remains on while the burner operates’
Check the Operation of Cooktop Burners

1. If the control panel and knobs were removed earlier, reinstall the knobs.

2. Push in and turn each surface unit control knob to the “IGNITE” position. The flame should light within 4 seconds.
   

3. Turn the control knob to the “HIGH” position after the burner lights.

4. Check each cooktop burner for the proper flame. The small inner cone should have a very distinct blue flame 1/4″ (6.4 mm) to 1/2″ (1.3 cm) long. The outer cone is not as distinct as the inner cone.
   A. Outer cone
   B. Inner cone

5. Turn the control knob quickly to the “LOW” position after the burner lights. If the flame goes out, turn the control knob to the “OFF” position.

6. Check each cooktop burner for the proper low flame. The low flame should be a minimum, steady blue flame. The flame size should be 1/4″ to 3/8″ (6.4 mm to 9.5 mm) high.

If the low flame needs adjusting:

1. Turn the control knob to the “LOW” setting and remove control knob.

2. Insert a small flat-blade screwdriver into the valve stem. Turn the valve adjusting screw to obtain the smallest flame that will not go out when the control of a cold burner is quickly turned from “HIGH” to “LOW.” Turn right to decrease flame height. Turn left to increase flame height. Repeat for other cooktop burners as needed.
