GLO-BAR IGNITION
The Glo-Bar Ignition System (see Figure 4-10) is a 120-volt electrical system that consists of
three important components. The three components, a thermostat that is controlled by the
customer, an ignitor and a safety valve, both located inside the oven, create a very efficient system
that is safe and dependable. Unlike the mechanical system that works with a sensor and capillary
tube to operate the safety valve, this system operates entirely on an electrical system requiring 120-
volts AC (alternating current).
