ADJUSTING THE PILOT FLAME HEIGHT

A pilot that frequently blows out may be set too high, or too low. To adjust the pilot flame to the correct height, perform the following steps:

1.Turn off the controls and prop open the cooktop.

2.Using a screwdriver, turn the needle valve screw slowly in the direction necessary to set the size of the pilot flame, as shown in Figure 3-27. The flame should have a sharp, blue cone that is approximately 1/4" high, as shown in the inset.

3. Lower the cooktop.
