Check operation of cooktop

17.Push in and turn each surface unit control knob to “LITE” position. The flame should light within 4 seconds. Turn control knob to “HI” position after burner lights.

Check each cooktop burner for proper flame. The small inner cone should have a very distinct blue flame 1/4"

(6.4 mm) to 1/2" (1.3 cm) long. The outer cone is not as distinct as the inner cone. If the flame is noisy or blowing, it is getting too much air. If the flame is soft

and lazy, it is not getting enough air. Turn each surface burner control knob to “OFF” position. Adjust air shutter if needed.

Push in and turn the oven control knob to “350˚F.” The oven burner should light in 20–40 seconds; this delay is normal. The oven valve requires a certain time before it will open and allow gas to flow.

To avoid damaging the hot surface ignitor, do not insert any object into the openings of the protective shield that surrounds the ignitor or clean that area.

21.Check the oven burner for proper flame. The flame should be 1/2" (1.3 cm) long, with inner cone of bluish-green, and outer mantle of dark blue, and should be clean and soft in character. No yellow tips (not enough air), blowing or lifting (too much air) of flame should occur.

If oven flame needs adjusting:

a. Turn the oven off. Wait for the oven burner to cool down.

b. Open oven door and remove oven racks, oven tray, flame spreader and set aside.
