11 n Use pipe-ioint compound made for use with Natural and L.P. gas to seal all
gas connections. If flexible connector is used, be certain connector is not kinked.
12 n Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gas to move through the gas line.
Fire Hazard
Do Not use an open flame to test for leaks from gas connections.
Checking for leaks with a flame may result in a fire or explosion.
13 n Use a brush and liquid detergent to test all gas connections for leaks. Bubbles around connections will indicate a leak. If a leak appears, shut off gas valve controls
and adjust connections. Then check connections again. NEVER TESTFOR GAS LEAKS WITH A MATCH OR OTHER FLAME. Clean all detergent solution from range.

Electronic Ignition System - initial lighting and gas flame adjustments.
Cooktop and oven burners use electronic ignitors in place of standing pilots. When the cooktop control knob is turned to ‘LITE” position, the system creates a spark to light the burner. This sparking continues until the control knob is turned to the desired setting. When the oven control is turned to the desired setting, a glow bar heats up bright orange and ignites the gas. No sparking occurs and the glow bar remains on while the burner operates.

each control knob to “LITE” | |
position. The flame | should | lightw | “O |

Check | each | cooktop | burner | for | |
proper flame. The small inner cone | |
should have a very distinct blue | |
flame | approximately | | l/2” | long. The | outer |
cone | is not | as distinct | as the | inner cone. |
16 n If burners need adjusting for proper flame, remove burner grates and
carefully lift up the
maintop. Adjust the air air adjustment shutter to the widest
opening that will produce a sharp blue flame that does not lift or blow off of the burner. Repeat as necessary with each burner.
17 w Push in and turn the control knob to the “LITE”position and then to the “LO” position.
The low flame should be a minimum, steady, blue flame. To
adjust the burner, remove the control knob and turn the adjustment screw in the center of the valve stem. Check the adjustment by turning the control knob from ‘HI” to “LO” several times. The burner is properly
adjusted when the low flame remains steady and the burner does not go out. Check each burner.
18 n Remove oven rack. Remove oven screws at rear of oven bottom. Pull oven bottom rear up and remove front of oven bottom from oven front. Remove oven bottom. Remove baffle.
Check the operation of the oven burner.
Push in and turn temperature control knob to 300°F. The oven burner should light in 50 - 60 seconds. This delay is
The oven safety valve requires
a certain time before it will open and allow gas to flow.
Product Damage
. Do Not insert any object into the openings of the protective shield that surrounds the ignitor.
l Do Not clean the area.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in product damage.

20 n If oven flame needs to be adjusted, locate the air shutter near the center rear of the oven burner. Loosen screw and adjust the air shutter until the proper flame appears. Tighten screw.
21 n Reolace the oven burner baffle, oven bottom, and oven racks.

Adjust pilot adjusrment screw so pilot flame tip is l/8” high and centered in the hole in the pilot housing. If the flame is too high, carbon
(soot) will accumulate under the cooktop.

If burners need adjusting for proper flame, adjust the air shutter to the widest opening that will not cause the flame to lift or blow off of the burner.
Repeat as necessary with each burner.
18a.
Push in and turn the control knob to the “LITE”position and then to the “LO”position. The low flame should be a minimum, steady,
blue flame. To adjust the burner, remove the control knob and turn the adjustment screw in the center of the valve stem. Check the adjustment by turning the control knob from “HI”to “LO”several times. The burner is properly adjusted when the low flame remains steady and the burner does not go out. Check each burner.
19a.
Make sure the oven control knob is in the
“OFF”position. Remove the oven racks, oven bottom, and oven burner baffle. Hold a lighted match to the opening in the top of the pilot at the rear of the oven burner. No pilot adjustments are required.
nTurn oven thermostat knob to 300°F.
The oven pilot should now be larger with the flame
extending down the slanted ramp
and burning 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 away from the metal bulb which will turn the main oven burner off after 20-40 seconds.
The oven burner will continue to turn off and on to maintain oven temperature.
21a n Check the oven burner for proper flame. This flame should be 1’ long, with inner cone of bluish-green, and outer mantle of dark blue and should be clean and soft in character. No yellow tips, blowing or lifting of flame should occur.
If oven flame needs to be adjusted, loosen screw and adjust the air shutter until the proper flame appears.
Tighten screw. Replace burner baffle, oven bottom and oven racks.
