4 SEAL THE OPENINGS

Seal any openings in the wall behind the range and in the floor under the range when hookups are completed.

5 LIGHT THE PILOTS

(For Models Equipped with Standing Pilots. If the range is an electric ignition model, the burners are ignited by electric ignition which eliminates the need for standing pilot lights.)

The range should be installed in its permanent position before any pilots are lit or adjusted.

Light the Surface Burner Pilots

CAUTION: Make sure the surface burner control knobs are in the OFF position before attempting to light the pilots.

1.Raise the cooktop.

2.Light both pilots with a match.

3.To avoid pilot outage, use caution when closing cooktop after lighting pilots.

NOTE: Do not leave standing pilot lit in a newly constructed or remodeled home or apartment that will be unoccupied for more than a month.

Each pilot flame was adjusted at the factory to be approximately 5/16″ tall. A tinge of yellow appearing at the upper tip is normal. If you find pilot adjustment is necessary, follow instructions at right.

Adjust the Surface Burner Pilots if Necessary

1. Raise the cooktop.

2. Locate the pilot adjustment screw. It can be accessed through the small hole near the center of the manifold panel.

3.To adjust, use a blade-type screwdriver with a shaft diameter of less than 3/16″. Turn pilot adjustment screw until pilot is 5/16″ high. Do not reduce the flame to less than 5/16″ or pilot outage may occur. A pilot flame burning higher than recommended may generate soot (carbon black) on the bottom of your cooktop.

Light the Oven Pilot

CAUTION: Make sure the OVEN CONTROL knob is in the OFF position before attempting to light the pilot.

1.Remove the broiler drawer by sliding the drawer all the way out and then lifting slightly to remove it from its tracks.

2.Locate the pilot at the

back of the broiler compartment. The pilot is attached to the left side of the oven burner.

3.Light the pilot with a match. No adjustments are

required for natural gas. If range is connected to LP gas, contact the person who installed your range or

made the conversion.
