Oven Pilot
The oven pilot is located along the left hand side of the oven burner. It is fastened
under the flame safety probe. The flame of the oven pilot ignites main burner gas
when the oven is turned on. If the pilot flame is not present, the flame safety device
will not allow pilot gas or main burner gas to flow.
Pilot flame size is set by the adjustment screw located along the side of the thermostat.
The outer tip of the flame should just barely reach the underside of the end of the flame
safety probe. The pilot screw must be adjusted if the range is converted to LP gas.
Ovens with Standby Pilot Battery Spark Ignition: Free Standing Ranges
Ranges equipped with the battery ignition system have an electrode fastened on the
left hand side of the oven pilot and flame safety probe. In these models, the oven
pilot is used as an igniter instead of a permanent pilot flame.
Ovens with Standby Pilot Battery Spark Ignition
On ovens with battery spark ignition, turn the control knob counterclockwise to the
“STANDBY”position. Fully press in the oven control knob and hold it pressed in
for 10 seconds. Pushing in the oven control knob will start all electrodes (top
electrodes included) at a rate of approximately 2 pulses per second. While pressing
the knob, gas will be introduced at the oven pilot to be lit for use as an oven ignitor.
If you are using the oven for the first time or the oven has not been used in several
days, it may take multiple attempts to successfully light the “STANDBY” ignitor
pilot. If the ignitor pilot will not stay lit after 5 attempts, contact an authorized
service technician.
Once the “STANDBY” oven pilot has been lit, lightly press in the oven control
knob and turn it counterclockwise to the desired temperature setting. If you press
