5. Check conditions of flueways and combustion chamber and clean if necessary.
6. Lightly brush the perforated top of the gas burner and check that the burner venturi is free of lint and fluff.
NOTE: IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO DETACH THE PILOT ASSEMBLY AND REMOVE THE BURNER TO
ENSURE IT IS FREE.
7. Check the condition of the pilot thermocouple tip to ensure it is clean and free of carbon. Heavy heat oxidised
tips should mean the removal of the thermocouple and a new replacement. Examine and brush the pilot light
parts and examine the ignitor cable to ensure the PTFE insulation remains intact and is firmly connected to the
spark electrode. Clean any carbon away from the electrode.
8. Refit the gas burner assembly in reverse manner described in 3 and reconnect the gas supply at service gas
valve union.
NOTE: USE SOAPY WATER SOLUTION TO ENSURE THERE ARE NO GAS LEAKS.
9. Inspect and clean vent fan blades, remove debris using a soft brush, access to this fan can be made by
removing the R.H, and centre shroud.
10. Turn on the gas and electric supply and follow the procedure for lighting the burner.
11. Ensure that the pilot and main burner flame are burning evenly, the thermocouple is enveloped by the pilot
flame.
12. Visuallt check the main burner and pilot flame for correct flame pattern. An established main burner at high
fire will be predominantly blue with yellow tippings on an even height flame strip and be about 150mm (6in) high.
See Fig. 11. Ensure ail flameports have cross-lit and that the pilot light flame is free from sooting.
13. The maximum depth of any cabinets installed above the top cooking surface of the range must not exceed
330mm (13in).
