TEST AND ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING:

For warranty coverage, DCS requires that burner adjustments be made by a qualified technician at the time of installation. Extreme care should be used when adjustments are made after installation.

COOKTOP BURNERS

The cooktop burners are not adjustable. Proper operation is achieved when the correct orifices for gas supply are installed at the factory, based on model ordered.

When installing the burner port ring, be sure that the two locating pins in the bottom side of the brass port ring are properly aligned with the locating notch and center holes on the top side of the simmer ring. Incorrect alignment will produce a potentially dangerous flame and poor burner performance.

Note:

No air shutter adjustment is possible on the cooktop burners. Burner flames should be blue and stable with no yellow-tipping (some yellow-tipping is normal with LP gas), excessive noise, or lifting of flame from the burner (Fig. 13).

COOKTOP BURNER LIGHTING NOTE

The cooktop burners have an infinite number of heat settings and there are no fixed positions on the control knobs between HI and LO. To turn the cooktop burner on, push in on the control knob and turn it counter- clockwise to the “LITE” position. An audible clicking sound will be heard. When the gas has been ignited by the electronic spark igniter, turn the knob to the desired setting (Fig. 14).

Note:

The igniter will continue to click until a flame is present. If the cooktop burner does not ignite, check the spark igniter by listening for a clicking sound. If you do not hear the igniter click, turn off the burner. Check for a tripped circuit breaker, blown fuse, or poor wire connection to the igniter.

WARNING:

When turning on any cooktop burner, be sure to stop at the “LITE” position before turning the burner to a flame setting for cooking. If the burner is not lit and it is turned beyond the “LITE” position, to HI, MEDIUM, or LO, there will be a burst of flame when the burner does light. This could cause burns or damage to the surrounding countertop.

Check for the proper burner flame characteristics and adjust air shutters if

necessary (fig. 15). Each valve and air shutter is individually tested and

adjusted prior to shipment. Normally adjustment is not required,

however, vibration during transit, gas conversion or variations in the local

gas supply may make minor adjustments necessary. Burner flames should

be blue and stable with no yellow tips, excessive noise or lifting of the

flame from the burner. If any of these conditions exist, check that the air

shutter or burner ports are not blocked. If this condition persists, adjust

the air shutter as required. If the flame is too yellow, indicating insufficient air, adjust the shutter counter- clockwise to increase air inlet. If the flame is noisy or tends to lift away from the burner, indicating too much air, turn the shutter clockwise to reduce air. The griddle flames should be 1-1/2" to 2". The grill burner flames should be 3/8” to 5/8” (fig. 16).
