Check Operation
Electronic Ignition System
Cooktop and oven burners use electronic ignitors in place of standing pilots. When a cooktop control knob is turned to the “LITE” position, the system creates a spark to light the burner. This sparking continues until the control knob is turned to the desired setting.
When the oven control is turned to the desired setting, a hot surface ignitor heats to a bright orange and ignites the gas. No sparking occurs. The glow bar remains on while the burner operates.
Check Operation of Cooktop Burners
1. If control panel and knobs were removed earlier, reinstall knobs.
2. Push in and turn each surface unit control knob to “LITE” position. The flame should light within 4 seconds.
3. Turn control knob to “HI” position after burner lights.
4. Check each cooktop burner for proper flame. The small inner cone should have a very distinct blue flame ¹⁄₄" (6.4 mm) to ¹⁄₂" (13 mm) long. The outer cone is not as distinct as the inner cone.
5. Turn the control knob quickly to the “LO” position after the burner lights. If the flame goes out, turn the control knob to the “OFF” position.
6. Check each cooktop burner for proper low flame. The low flame should be a minimum, steady blue flame. The flame size should be ¹⁄₄" to ³⁄₈" (6.4 mm to 9.5 mm) high.
If the low flame needs adjusting:
1. Turn control knob to the “LO” setting and remove control
knob.
2. Insert a small flat-blade screwdriver into the valve stem. Turn the valve adjusting screw to obtain the smallest flame that will not go out when the control of a cold burner is quickly turned from “HI” to “LO”. Turn right to decrease flame height. Turn left to increase flame height. Repeat for other cooktop burners
as needed.
3. Replace control knob.
Complete Connection
1. Locate gas pressure regulator in the broiler.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove the gas pressure regulator.
2. Check that the gas pressure regulator shutoff valve is in the “ON” position.
3. Open the manual shutoff valve in the gas supply line. The valve is “open” when the handle is parallel to the gas pipe.
4. Test all connections by brushing on an approved noncorrosive leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show a leak. Correct any leak found.
5. Close the broiler door.
6. Place burners, burner caps and grates on the cooktop.
7. Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.

6. When the flame has been properly adjusted, turn the oven off, wait for the burner to cool down.
7. Tighten the shutter screw.
8. Reinstall flame spreader and oven tray. Reinstall the oven
racks and close oven door.
9. Close the broiler door.
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.
3. Locate the air shutter near the rear wall of oven and loosen the shutter screw.
4. Adjust the air shutter.
5. Turn the oven back on and check for proper flame. If the
flame is still not properly adjusted, turn the oven off, wait for the oven burner to cool down and repeat step 4 until flame is properly adjusted.
