7.Turn manual shutoff valve in gas supply line on. If “Gas and electrical connection” Steps 10–16 on Page 6 were not completed, complete them now.

8.Install control knobs. Check for proper flame. The cooktop burner flames should have a small inner cone with 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. The oven burner flame should be 1/2" (1.3 cm) long with a bluish-green inner cone and dark blue outer mantle. L.P. gas flames have a slightly yellow tip. If the flames are noisy or blowing, they are getting too much air. If the flames are soft and lazy, they are not getting enough air. If burners need adjusting, see “Check operation” section, Steps 17-22, Page 7.
