It is essential to maintain the gas pressure constantly at 10 inches water column
pressure for ranges set for LP Gas; and 4'' water column pressure for ranges set for
Natural Gas 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 the oven 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. Follow the instructions below for lighting the
pilot.
NEVER LEAVE THE CONTROL KNOBS IN ANY POSITION OTHER
THAN "OFF" IF THE IGNITORS OR BURNERS AREN'T WORKING
PROPERLY.
• With the oven control OFF open the broiler door and position yourself so
you can see the oven pilot at the back of the oven burner.
• Next turn any top burner knob to the "LITE" position while watching the
oven pilot. Turn the oven control on. If the oven pilot doesn't ignite within
five seconds immediately turn the oven control off. If the oven pilot does
ignite, the oven burner should ignite within 60 seconds. If not, immediately
turn the oven control off and call a serviceman.
If the oven is working, to determine if moisture was the problem wait a few minutes
and attempt to light the oven by turning the oven control dial on. If sparking occurs
at the oven electrode to ignite the oven pilot and within sixty seconds ignites the
oven burner then moisture build-up was the problem. If the oven burner doesn't
ignite within 60 seconds turn the oven control off and call the serviceman.
• If for some reason there isn't sparking, indicating the module isn't working,
or there is a power failure and oven cooking is necessary you may manually
light the oven.
Make certain the oven is cool when manually lighting oven pilot.
