Ovens with Pilotless Electric Ignition: Free-Standing Ranges
Ranges equipped with the spark ignition system will ba_'e an oven pilot ignitor that has a
"flame sensing" feature (hat automatically stops the sparking once the ovet_ pilot gas is
ignited. Turning the overt control dial on will activate an electronic module and send
pulses (sparks) to all electrodes (including the top h'_mer eleclrodes) at a ra_e o["
appmximalely 1 1f2 pulses (sparks) per second.
MOISTURE: Moislure can)ave 1he same effect on the overt ignitor as the pilot flame, tf
sparking does not occur when the overt thermostat knob [s turned on during the initial
altempt to use {he oven or aRer several days of non-use, it COULD BE the result of
moisture bu_ld-up irt the ceramic sleeve of theoven electrode. Tl_s may happen in areas
with Mgh humidity or if food having high water content is cooked. "]'his moisture cap be
driven out of the ignitor by lighting the pilot and operating theoven for a few minutes,
Po]low the instructions below tbr lighting thepitot,
NEVER I,EAVE THE CONTROL KNOBS IN ANY POSITION OTHER THAN
"OFF" IF THE IGNITORS OR BURNERS AREN'T WORKING PROPERIA'.
• With the oven control O_gF open the broiler door and poshion yourself so you can see
theoven pilot a! theback ofthe oven burner.
= Next turn any lop burner knob to the "LITE" position while watching the oven pilot.
Turn the oven control pop If the overt p[]ot doesn't ignite within five seconds
immediately turn the oven control off. If the oven pilot does ignite, the oven burner
should ignite '" '
_,_tbmg 60 seconds_ If not, immediately turn the oven control off and call
a serviceman,
If the oven is worMng, to determine if moisture was the problem wait a few minutes and
attempt to light the oven by turning the overt control dM on. tf sparking occurs at the overt
electrode to ignite the oven pilot and within sixty seconds ignites the oven burner then
moisture build+,up was the problem. If the oven bonier doesn't ignite within 60 seconds
tom the oven conuot off and call the serviceman.
* ]f for some reason there isn't sparking, indicating the module [sift working, or there is a power
failureand oven eookSngis necessaryyou may manuallylight theoven.

• Open broiler door, Oven pilot is located on the left side of the oven burner at the back
of the bomer.
" Hold a llghled match and teach through the broSler compartment to the ween pilot.
• While holding file lighted match neaz the tip of the pilot assembly, turn the oven
contto] dia! to art ON position. Immediately remove your hand from !he broiler
compartment afler the pilot gas ignkes, From 20 to 60 seconds after the pffot ignites, gas
wli] flow to the oven burner and the burner w_]l ignite,
- Close the broiler door.
• Set desired temperature_
• When cooking Is finished, turn lhe Oven Temperature Control to Oil. This will shut
off a!l gas In the oven.
