Surface Burner Air Adjustment if Necessary
Air adjustment
1.Raise the cooktop. The air shutter (adjustment) for each of the four surface burners is located at the open end of the tube and sets on the hood of the valve.
2.Should the air shutter need adjusting, rotate the air shutter to allow more or less air into the burner tubes as needed.
3.If the air is properly adjusted, the flame will be steady, relatively quiet, and have approximately 1/2″ sharp blue cone. (Usually about the center of air shutter’s adjustment.)
If the flame is yellow in color, increase air shutter opening size. If the flame is a distinct blue, but lifting away from the burner, reduce the air shutter opening size.

Operation of Electric Ignition Oven Burners
and Oven Adjustments
Operation of electric igniters should be checked after range and supply line connectors have been carefully checked for leaks and range has been connected to electric power.
The oven burner is equipped with an electric control system as well as an electric oven burner igniter. If your model is equipped with a waist- high broil burner, it will also have an electric burner igniter. These control systems require no adjustment. When the oven is set to operate, current will flow to the igniter. It will “glow” similar to a light bulb. When the igniter has reached a temperature sufficient to ignite gas, the electrically controlled oven valve will open and flame will appear at the oven burner. There is a time lapse from 30 to 60 seconds after the thermostat is turned ON before the flame appears at the oven burner. When the oven reaches the dial setting, the glowing igniter will go off. The burner flame will go “out” in 20 to 30 seconds after the igniter goes “OFF.” To maintain any given oven temperature, this cycle will continue as long as the dial (or display) is set to operate.
After removing all packing materials and literature from the oven:
a)Set oven to BAKE at 300°F.
b)Within 60 seconds the oven burner should ignite. Check for proper flame, and allow the burner to cycle once. Reset controls to off.
c)If your model is equipped with a
d)Within 60 seconds the broil burner should ignite. Check for proper flame. Reset controls to off.
