Electric 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 power. The oven burner is equipped with an electric control system as well asan electric oven burner igniter. If your model is equipped with a waist-high broil burner, 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 sufficient 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 the thermostat is turned 0 N before the fiame appears at the oven burner. When the oven reaches the dial setting, the glowing igniter will go off. The burner flame will go "out" in 20 to 30 seconds after the igniter goes "OFF." To maintain any given oven temperature, this cycle will continue as long as the dial (or display) is set to operate. After removing all packing materials and literature from the oven: a) Set 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 allowthe burner to cycle once. Reset controls to off. c) If your model is equipped with a waist-high 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.
