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 until the control knob is turned to the  
desired setting.  
When the oven control knob is turned to the “LITE” position, the  
system creates a spark to light the pilot. The oven bottom has a  
hole to view the pilot. If the pilot is already lit, turn the oven control  
knob counterclockwise to completely light the oven burner.  
IMPORTANT: Do not operate bake burner without the metal  
battery top installed and secured.  
7. Replace the broiler pan and grill in the broiler rack.  
8. Close the broiler door.  
The electronic ignition system requires a 9V DC alkaline battery  
to create a spark to light the burners (this battery is not included).
