CHECKING THE OVEN BURNER OPERATION

THE BAKE BURNER

NOTE: The bake burner may be controlled by a knob, or an electronic keypad. Refer to the oven control that is used on the range you are testing.

1.Remove the oven racks.

2.Remove the two screws from the oven floor and remove the floor.

5.Check the flame coming from the burner bar. If the flame is noisy, or is blowing away from the bar, there is too much air during combus- tion. If the flame is soft and not high enough, there is not enough air. If either of these conditions occur, proceed to the next step.

6.With the burner lit, loosen the locking screw, and adjust the venturi air shutter opening for the best flame, then retighten the locking screw.

4.Push and turn the oven selector control knob for a setting of 350˚F. The oven burner should light in 50- to 60-seconds (the delay is due to the time it takes for the gas valve to open and the gas to flow to the burner).
