Electric Ignition - GE JGAS24 Use And Care & Installation Manual

Lighting Instructions for Electric Ignition Models
The oven burner is lighted by electric ignition.
To light the burner, turn the OVEN TEMP knob to the desired
temperature. The burner should light within 30-90 seconds. After the oven
reaches the selected temperature the oven burner cycles on and off to
maintain the selected temperature.
Power Outage
A burner in use when an electrical power failure
occurs will continue to operate normally. Your oven
may be used during an electrical power outage by
carefully following the steps below:
To light the oven pilot during an electrical
power outage:
1. Be sure the OVEN TEMP knob is in the
OFF position.
2. Open both the oven and broiler doors and wait
5 minutes to allow any pilot gas to dissipate.
3. Unplug the range from the wall outlet, turn off
the circuit breaker, or remove the fuse to avoid
accidental ignition of the oven if electrical power
is restored while you are lighting the pilot.
4. Remove the broiler pan.
Lighting Instructions for Standing Pilot Models
The standing oven pilot must be lit initially.
To light the oven pilot:
1. Be sure the OVEN
TEMP knob is in the
OFF position.
2. Remove the oven
bottom. See the
Care and Cleaning
section.
3. Find the oven pilot
port at the back of
the oven.

broiler doors.
NOTE: It is necessary to light the pilot manually
each time the oven is used during a power outage.
