ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The supply voltage is critical for proper opera-
tion of the Direct Spark Ignition (DSI) System.
The requirements are 102 to 132 VAC with the
proper polarity and ground. If the electrical sup-
ply is less than 102 VAC, sparking will not be
reliable. If the system is over 132 VAC, per-
manent damage to the DSI can occur.

NOTE TO TECHNICIAN: Improper polar-
ity will cause the direct spark ignition
system to malfunction. Always check for
proper polarity at the wall outlet before
replacing parts.

Proper polarity must also be supplied. If the
supply polarity is reversed, the DSI control will
not be able to detect the presence of a flame.
Reverse polarity will not affect the cooktop op-
eration, but the Bake and Broil burners will fail
to remain lit.

Reverse polarity will not affect the cooktop op-
eration, but the Bake and Broil burners will fail
to remain lit.
A proper ground is also required. The DSI con-
trol generates a significant amount of electri-
cal noise. This noise is minimized by clamp-
ing the noise to ground. If a proper ground is
not connected, the ERC may periodically dis-
play “PF,” which means that a reset has oc-
curred in the ERC.

GAS REQUIREMENTS
Gas supply pressure should be a minimum of
7˝ water column pressure for natural gas, and
11˝ water column pressure for L.P. gas. How-
ever, the gas distribution valve should main-
tain 4˝ water column pressure for natural gas,
and 10˝ water column pressure for L.P. gas.
