Check for the proper burner flame characteristics. 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 (oven burner only)(Fig. 20) or burner ports are not blocked. If this condition persists, contact a qualified technician.
The oven burner flames should be 1-1/2" to 2" (Fig. 21). The infrared broil burner flames should be approximately 1/8” high over the entire burner screen (Fig. 22).

INFRARED BROIL BURNER
Note:
The igniter will continue to click until a flame is present. If the cooktop burner does notFig. 20 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 sealed 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.TYPICAL SECTION OF

INFRARED BROIL AND OVEN BURNERS
CAUTION:
The oven infrared broiler burner has no air shutter and is not adjustable. The oven bake burner has an air shutter and is adjustable. It is necessary to operate the oven broiler for 20-30 minutes to eliminate the harsh odor of the insulation binder (see page 8 of the Use and Care Manual). This must be done before using the range for the first time and with proper ventilation.
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. IMPROPER OR LACK OF ADJUSTMENT WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
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. 18).
COOKTOP BURNER LIGHTING NOTE:
The sealed 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 sealed cooktop burner on, push in on the control knob and turn it counterclockwise 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. 19).
