the knob in too far to the ignitor lighting position, the knob will not turn.
Gently let up on the knob, and the thermostat shaft will release its safety key to let
you rotate the control.
When finished cooking, you may turn the oven control knob back to the
“STANDBY” position. This will turn off the main oven burner, but will keep the
oven pilot lit and ready. If desired, you may turn the knob all the way back to the
“OFF” position to shut off the oven pilot ignitor. If you turn the knob back to the
“OFF” position, you must repeat the battery spark and pilot starting
sequence above to use the oven.
If the oven pilot does not ignite and maintain the flame, check the following
1. The pilot burner has gone out. Relight the oven pilot
2. The pilot will not keep the flame safety probe heated. Adjust the size of
the pilot flame. Or, the thermocouple connection at the thermostat may need
to be tightened.
3. The flame safety probe may not be properly located. Locate the probe
directly over the pilot burner. On spark ignition ovens, the end of the flame
safety probe must be very close to the side of the burner right in front of the
flame ports.
4. The pilot burner is not in its proper position. Make sure the rear of the
burner is seated on the injector elbow and the front is bolted onto the burner
support.
5. The spark electrode is defective. Contact an authorized service technician
If the batteries have grown weak and you need to use the oven before you are able to
replace with fresh batteries, the oven can be lit manually. Turn the knob to
“STANDBY” and light the oven pilot as described in the Oven Pilot section.
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 flow 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.
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
