INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

Operation of Standing Pilot Oven Burners and Oven Adjustment

To light the oven pilot, turn the oven thermostat knob to OFF. Remove oven bottom.

Remove

To remove the oven bottom, remove oven hold down screws at rear of oven bottom. Pull up at rear, disengage front of oven bottom from oven front frame, and pull the oven bottom out of the oven.

Primary pilot flame

Light the oven pilot with a match. The oven pilot should burn with a stable flame after a few seconds operation and should have a small primary pilot flame visible only at the opening in the top of the pilot assembly.

Secondary pilot flame

Turn oven thermostat knob to 300°F. The oven pilot should now have a larger secondary pilot flame that extends down the slanted ramp and burns against a small metal bulb.

After 20–40 seconds, the main oven burner should ignite and burn until the oven temperature has reached 300°F. At that time, the oven pilot should get smaller, moving up away from the metal bulb which will turn off the main oven burner after 20–40 seconds.

The oven burner will continue to turn off and on to maintain oven temperature.

6 CHECK IGNITION OF SURFACE BURNERS

Surface Burner Ignition

Operation of all cooktop and oven burners should be checked after the pilots have been lighted (on some models) and range and gas supply lines have been carefully checked for leaks.

Standing Pilot Models

Select a surface burner knob and simultaneously push in and turn to HI position. The burner should light within a few seconds. Try each burner in succession until all burners have been checked.

Electric Ignition Models

Select a surface burner knob and simultaneously push in and turn to LITE position. You will hear a snapping sound indicating proper operation of the spark module. Once the air has been purged from the supply lines, burners should light within 4 seconds. After burner lights, rotate knob out of the LITE position. Try each burner in succession until all burners have been checked.

Quality of Flames

The combustion quality of burner flames needs to be determined visually.

(A) Yellow flames—

Call for service

(B) Yellow tips on outer cones— Normal for LP gas

(C) Soft blue flames—

Normal for natural gas

If burner flames look like (A), call for service. Normal burner flames should look like (B) or (C), depending on the type of gas you use.

With LP gas, some yellow tipping on outer cones is normal.
