Installation Instructions

CPRESSURE TEST INFORMATION

The maximum allowable supply pressure for the regulator is 14″ W.C. The minimum supply pressure needed to check the regulator setting is 7″ W.C. for natural gas and 10″ W.C. for LP gas.

WARNING: The range and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the gas supply system at test pressures of more than 1/2 psig (pounds per square inch gauge). The range must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply system at test pressures equal to or greater than 1/2 psig. NOTE: 1/2 psig = 13.855″ w.c.

DCHECK THE IGNITERS

Operation of the electric igniters should be checked after the cooktop and supply line have been carefully checked for leaks and the cooktop has been connected to the electrical power.

a. Turn on gas.

b. Push and turn a burner valve to the LITE position.

•The burner valve should light when gas is available to the burner.

•Once the burner lights, it should be turned out of the LITE position.

c.Try each valve separately until all burners have been checked.

EBURNER IGNITION

Cooktop Spark Ignition—When you turn the cooktop knob to LITE, the spark igniter makes a series of electric sparks (ticking sounds) which light the burner. During a power failure the burners will not light automatically. In an emergency, a cooktop burner may be lit with a match by following the steps below.

WARNING: Lighting gas burners with a match is dangerous. You should match light the cooktop burners only in an emergency.

a. Light a match and hold the flame near the burner you want to light. Wooden matches work best.

b. Push in and turn the control knob slowly. Be sure you are turning the correct knob for the burner you are lighting.

NOTE: If the burner does not light within five seconds, turn the knob off and wait five minutes before trying again.

FBURNER FLAMES

Turn each burner on. Turn each burner knob to the high position. Flames should be blue in color with little or no trace of yellow. The burner flames should not flutter or blow away from the burner. The inner cone of the flame should be between 1/2″ and 3/4″ long. If the burner flames are yellow in color or not the proper length, call GE Service.

WARNING: If you attempt to measure the inner cone of the flame, please use caution. Burns could result.
