Electronic ignition system
Cooktop and oven burners use electronic
ignitors in place of standing pilots. When
a 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 is turned to the
desired setting, a hot surface ignitor
heats to a bright orange and ignites the
gas. No sparking occurs. The glow bar
remains on while the burner operates.

Making sure the anti-tip bracket is
installed:
• Look for the anti-tip bracket securely
attached to floor.
• Slide range back so rear range foot is
under anti-tip bracket.

If installing the range in a mobile
home, you must secure the range to the
floor. Any method of securing the range
is adequate as long as it conforms to the
“Manufactured Home Construction and
Safety Standard,” Page 2.
9.
Place rack in oven. Place level on
rack, first side to side; then front to back.
If range is not level, pull range forward
until rear leveling leg is removed from
the anti-tip bracket. Use 3/8" drive ratchet
and channel lock pliers to adjust leveling
legs up or down until range is level. Push
range back into position. Check that rear
leveling leg is engaged in anti-tip bracket.
NOTE: Oven must be level for satisfactory
baking conditions.
All connections must be wrench-tightened.
