MOVING THE RANGE Before moving the range, slide it onto a piece WARNING of cardboard, or hardboard, to prevent dam- aging the floor covering, and perform the fol- lowing steps: Disconnect the electrical supply. Slide the range forward and disengage the foot with the anti-tip bracket.
PRODUCT OPERATION ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM Refer to Figure 3-1 for the following sequence. SEALED BURNER When a main burner control knob q is turned to the “lite” position, the gas valve r opens, and gas flows through the pressure regulator s into the manifold t through the open valve. As gas passes through the valve and its orifice, it is directed into the venturi u, where it mixes with primary air to create the proper mixture necessary for combustion.
AIR FLOW — REAR PANEL To help provide the proper air flow along the The gas range needs sufficient air to properly back of the range, the rear panel of the range ignite the gas and keep it burning properly. In- side the oven, the correct air flow ensures the has a spacer on each side toward the bottom (see Figure 3-2).

THE BIMETAL SWITCHES There are two bimetal switches on the gas It opens the L1 circuit to the electronic range. The switches operate as follows: control board if the console temperature reaches 95˚C/203˚F. • Ambient Bimetal Switch (N.C.) • Cooling Fan Bimetal Switch (N.O.)
