Check Operation of Oven/Broil Burner

1.Open broiler door.

2.Push in and turn the oven control knob to “350˚F.” The oven pilot should now be larger with the flame burning against a small metal bulb. 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.

3.Check the oven burner for proper flame. The flame should be ¹⁄₂" (13 mm) 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 the flame needs adjusting:

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

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

Complete Installation

1.Check to be sure all parts are now installed. If there is an extra part, go back through the steps to see which step was skipped.

2.Check to be sure you have all of your tools.

3.Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.

4.Check to be sure the range is level. See “Level Range.”

5.Use a mild solution of liquid household cleaner and warm water to remove waxy residue caused by protective shipping material. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

6.For range use and cleaning, read the range Use and Care Guide.

7.Turn on surface burners and oven.

If range does not operate, check the following:

Household fuse is intact and tight; or circuit breaker has not tripped.

Range is plugged in to a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Electrical supply is connected.

See “Troubleshooting” in your Use and Care Guide.

When the range has been on for 5 minutes, feel for heat. If you do not feel heat, turn the range off and check to see that the gas supply line shutoff valve is open.

If the gas supply line shutoff valve is closed, open it, then repeat the 5-minute test as outlined above.

If the gas supply line shutoff valve is open, contact a qualified technician.
