TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

TO AVOID THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE SERVICING, UNLESS TESTING REQUIRES IT.

3.Attach ohmmeter leads (RX1 scale) to switch leads. With the switch in the "OFF" position, infinite ohms (open) should be indicated.

4.Momentarily depress switch. Continuity (low ohms) should be indicated.

5.Depress and release the switch. Infinite ohms (open) should be indicated.

TO TEST THE BALLAST:

1.Shut off power to the range.

2.Disconnect two (2) wire leads to ballast.

3.Attach one (1) lead of the ohmmeter (RX1 scale) to each terminal of the ballast. A reading of approxi- mately twenty-two (22) ohms should be indicated. Attach one (1) meter lead to one (1) terminal of the ballast and the other lead to the metal cage on the ballast. Infinite ohms (open) should be indicated. Attach lead to the other terminal. Infinite ohms (open) should be indicated.

TOP BURNER VALVE

The top burners of some models are equipped with Tri-Set top burner valves. These valves provide flame adjustment for any size flame which is desired as well as "click" positions for "LO", "MED", and "HI" settings. Depress the knob and turn the knob counterclockwise as far as it will go. When the burner lights, turn the knob back to the desired flame height.
