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

“LITE” position, the system creates a spark to light the burner.

This sparking continues, as long as the control knob is turned to

“LITE.”

When the oven control is turned to the desired setting, sparking

occurs and ignites the gas.

Check Operation of Cooktop Burners

Standard Surface Burners

Push in and turn each control knob to the “LITE” position.

The ﬂame should light within 4 seconds. The ﬁrst time a burner

is lit, it may take longer than 4 seconds to light because of air in

the gas line.

If burners do not light properly:

■ Turn cooktop control knob to the “OFF” position.

■ Check that the range is plugged in. Check that the circuit

breaker has not tripped or the household fuse has not blown.

■ Check that the gas shut-off valves are set to the “open”

position.

■ Check that burner caps are properly positioned on burner

bases.

Repeat start-up. If a burner does not light at this point, turn

the control knobs to Off and contact your dealer or authorized

service company for assistance.
