Operation of Oven Burners and Oven
Adjustments
11.6.1 Electrlc ignition Burners
Operation of electric igniters should be checked after
range and supply line connectors have been carefully
checked for leaks, and range has been connected to
electric powen
The oven burner is equipped with an electric control system
as well as an electric oven burner ignJten If your model is
equipped with a waist-high broil burner igniter, it will also
have an electric burner igniter. These control systems require
no adjustment. When the oven is set to operate, current
will flow to the igniter. It will "glow" similar to a light bulb.
When the igniter has reached a temperature sumcient to
ignite gas, the electrically controlled oven valve will open
and flame will appear at the oven burner. There is a time
lapse from 30 to 60 seconds after thermostat is turned ON
before the flame appears at the oven burner. When the
oven reaches the display setting, the glowing igniter will go
off. The burner flame will go "out" in 20 to 30 seconds after
igniter goes "OFF". To maintain any given oven temperature,
this cycle will continue as long as the display is set to
operate.
After removing all packing materials and literature from
the oven:
a) Set the oven to BAKE at 300°F. See Use & Care Guide
for operating instructions.
b) Within 60 seconds the oven burner should ignite.
Check for proper flame, and allow the burner to cycle
once. Reset controls to off.
c) If your model is equipped with a high-waist broiler,
set oven to broil. See Use & Care Guide for operating
instructions.
d) Within 60 seconds the broil burner should ignite. Check
for proper flame. Reset controls to off.
