ADJUST BURNER FLAMES

Turn all burners full on and check the flames.

[]

They should be blue in color with some yellow tipping at the ends of the flame. Foreign

particles in the gas line may cause an orange

flame at first, but this will soon disappear.

r_ Turn the cooktop burner knob to the lowest

setting while observing the flame.

Adjust the low flame setting using the valve bypass screw as follows:

Low-setting adjustments must be made with two other burners in operation on a medium setting. This prevents the low flame from being set too low,

resulting in the flame being extinguished when other burners are turned on.

E1 To adjust the flame,

remove the knobs. Use

screwdriver to remove valve stem plugs as

shown.

Insert a screwdriver

through the access hole in valve switch. Engage adjustment screw in

valve. Refer to the illustration below that

matches the adjustment

screw location for your model. The

griddle burner (PGP959 and CGP3501 has 2

adjustment screws, one for the left rear

burner and one for the

left front burner during griddle control. Griddle

control must be turned to LO when making this

adjustment.

, If the flames were too

small or fluttered, open the valve more than the original setting.

r_ Testing Flame Stability:

Test 1 - Temporarily replace knobs. Turn the

knob from "HI" to the lowest setting quickly. If the flame goes out at the lowest setting, increase the flame size and test again.

Test 2 -

El Flame Recheck: After the adjustment is made, turn all burners off.

Ignite each burner individually. Observe the flame at the "HI" position. Rotate the valve to the lowest setting and be sure that the flame size decreases

as the valve is rotated counterclockwise. TO CONVERT THE COOKTOP BACK TO NATURAL

GAS, REVERSETHE STEPSUNDER MAKING THE LP

CONVERSION.

Once the conversion is complete and checked ok, replace valve stem plugs and knobs, and fill out the LP sticker. Include your name, organization and date conversion was made. Apply the sticker near the cooktop gas inlet opening to alert others in the future that this appliance has been converted to LP gas. If converting back to natural gas from LP, please remove the sticker so others know the appliance is set to use natural gas.

With the burner on the lowest setting, open and close the cabinet door under the cooktop. If the flame is extinguished by the air currents created by the door movement, increase the flame height and test

again.

, If the flames blew away from the burner,

close the valve more than the original setting.

r_ Make the adjustment by slowly turning the

screw until flame appearance is correct.
