Gas Trouble Shooting Guide

If you smell gas:

Check for loose connections. Connections may loosen in transportation. If the range connections are not perfectly tight, you can have a small leak and therefore a faint gas smell. Some leaks can only be found with the controls in the "on" position exposing the user to serious burns. Never use a match or flame to locate a leak.

FINDING A GAS LEAK IS NOT A “DO IT YOURSELF” PROCEDURE. IF YOU SMELL GAS, TURN OFF THE SUPPLY OF GAS TO THE RANGE AND CALL YOUR SERVICEMAN.

If you have other problems:

Before any component is replaced follow this four-step check list, then consult "Gas Trouble Shooting Chart" below.

1.Be sure the problem is not due to improper operation.

2.Check the basic adjustments: the correct pressure, dirt in the line, etc.

3.Check the setting to be sure it is correct for the gas on which the range is to be used, either propane or natural gas.

4.If gas pressure and all adjustments seem correct, use the chart which follows to help identify the problem and/or malfunctioning component.
