Use and Care Manual

OPERATION OF RANGE (continued)

Hot Oven Restart

If you turn off the oven but then decide to turn it back on before it has cooled to

room temperature, the burner may not light properly. This is due to the thermostat

still sensing “heated oven” and not allowing the maximum gas  ow rate into the

burner. After the burner lights, you may adjust the oven control to the desired

temperature.

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.

Moisture

Moisture can have the same effect on the oven ignitor as the pilot  ame. If

sparking does not occur when the oven thermostat knob is turned on during the

initial attempt to use, 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.

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.

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, this would indicate the module isn’t

functioning properly, or the batteries are low. If oven cooking is necessary, you may

manually light the oven.

CAUTION

Make certain the oven is cool when manually lighting

oven pilot.
