Installation Instructions 6 CHECK IGNITION OF SURFACE BURNERS Operation of all cooktop and oven burners should be checked after the range and gas supply lines have been carefully checked for leaks. Electric Ignition Models Select a top burner knob and simultaneously push in and turn to LITE position. You will hear a clicking sound indicating proper operation of the spark module. Once the air has been purged from the supply lines, burners should light within 4 seconds. After burner lights, rotate knob out of the LITE position. Try each burner in succession until all burners have been checked. Quality of Flames The combustion quality of burner flames needs to be determined visually.

To operate the oven, press the Bake pad and then press the number pads until 350° appears in the display. Touch the Start pad. After 30-90 seconds, the oven burner will ignite and burn until the set temperature is reached. The oven burner will continue to cycle on and off as necessary to maintain the oven at the temperature indicated by the display. To check ignition of the broil burner, touch the Broil Hi/Lo pad and then the Start pad. After 30-90 seconds, the broil burner will ignite. Electric ignition models require electrical power to operate. In case of a power outage, the oven burners on these models cannot be lit manually with a match. Gas will not flow unless the glow bar is hot. If the oven is in use when a power outage occurs, the burner will shut off and cannot be relit until power is restored.
