3.Test all connections by brushing on an approved noncorrosive leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show a leak. Correct any leak found.

4.Remove cooktop burner caps and grates from parts package. Align notches in burner caps with pins in burner base. Burner caps should be level when properly positioned. If burner caps are not properly positioned, surface burners will not light. Place burner grates over burners and caps.

Typical flexible connection

1.Apply pipe-joint compound made for use with LP gas to the smaller thread ends of the flexible connector adapters (see B and G in following illustration).

2.Attach one adapter to the gas pressure regulator and the other adapter to the gas shutoff valve. Tighten both adapters.

3.Use a ¹⁵⁄₁₆" combination wrench and pliers to attach the flexible connector to the adapters. Check that connector is not kinked.

Check Operation

Electronic Ignition System

Initial lighting and gas flame adjustments

Cooktop and oven burners use electronic igniters in place of standing pilots. When the cooktop control knob is turned to the “LITE” position, the system creates a spark to light the burner. This sparking continues, as long as the control knob is turned to “LITE.”

When the oven control is turned to the desired setting, sparking occurs and ignites the gas.
