Hope someone can help me. I am 80 year senior and live by myself and have a Magic Chef gas range that was in my apartment when I moved in about 25 years ago.
Never had any problem with it. When I turn the knob to "Lite" I hear a clicking and then I turn the knob to warm. However, today when I turned the knob to "Lite" my telephone ran and I went into the living room to answer it. I was on the telephone for about 10 minutes and when I went back into the kichen I heard the range still clicking because the knob was still in the "Lite" position. The flame was already there. I turned the knob to Warm and the clicking went away.
Did I do something "bad" to the stove by allowing it to click for ten minutes without turning it to warm (and having the clicking stop)? Possibly cause gas leak or something like that?
I've tried it a few times now and when I turn it to "Lite" I hear the clicking and then the flame comes on, and when I turn it to warm, the clicking goes away and the flame continues until I turn it off.
I was just worried that I might have done something wrong by allowing it to click for ten minutes (with flame) without turning it to warm.
Hope someone can help me. I called Magic Chef but got customer support and girl said she didn't think anything wrong was done, but she wasn't a technician I believe.
I have the Magic Chef booklet, but don't see a model number.
(The Magic Chef booklet says "(3) Pilotless Ignition: To light ranges equipped with pilotless (or electric) ignition: push in the knob, turn to the LITE position. You will hear an electric spark. After ignition, turn knob slightly to discontinue spark.":
