CAUSE/SOLUTION

Service Center to reconnect the range to the gas supply. (See the Installation
Instructions.)
•
A household fuse has blown or a circuit breaker has been tripped.
•
The Oven Lockout has been set.
CAUSE/SOLUTION
•
When using the oven for the first time, it is necessary to light the surface
burners first to purge air from the gas lines.
•
The electronic control is not set correctly. Refer to setting the electronic
oven control section. (See pp. 11-24.)
•
A delay start has been set. Wait for the start time to be reached or cancel
and reset the control.
•
The main or regulator gas shutoff valve is in the off position. (See the
Installation Instructions.)
•
The Oven Lockout has been set.
•
This is normal. This sound occurs when the oven burner cycles on and off
to hold the set oven temperature.
•
The ignition system is broken. Contact a Sears Service Center to replace it.
•
A household fuse has blown or a circuit breaker has been tripped.
•
The air/gas mixture is incorrect. Contact a Sears Service Center to check the
air/gas mixture or see the Installation Instructions.
