7. Moving the Appliance for

Servicing and Cleaning

Turn off the range line fuse or circuit breakers at the

main power source, and turn off the manual gas shut-

off valve. Make sure the range is cold. Remove the

service drawer (warmer drawer on some models) and

open the oven door. Lift the range at the front and

slide it out of the cut-out opening without creating

undue strain on the flexible gas conduit. Make sure

not to pinch the flexible gas conduit at the back of

the range when replacing the unit into the cut-out

opening. Replace the drawer, close the door and

switch on the electrical power and gas to the range.

8. Check Operation

Refer to the Use and Care Guide packaged with the

range for operating instructions and for care and

cleaning of your range.
Remove all packaging from the oven before testing.

burners as shown (see Figure 6).

It is very important to make sure that all of the Surface

Burner Heads, Surface Burner Caps and Surface Burner

Grates are installed correctly.

1. Remove all packing tape from cooktop. Remove

Burner Caps and Burner Heads (See Figure 6A).

2. Discard all packing material located under all Burner

Heads.

3. To correctly place Burner Heads & Caps, match the

letters located under center of Burner Caps with the

letters located inside Burner Head (See Figure 6A).

8.2 Turn on Electrical Power and Open

Main Shutoff Gas Valve
8.3 Check the Igniters

Operation of electric igniters should be checked after

range and supply line connectors have been carefully

checked for leaks, and range has been connected to

electric power. To check for proper lighting:

a. Push in and turn a surface burner knob to the LITE

position. You will hear the igniter sparking.

b. The surface burner should light when gas is

available to the top burner. Each burner should light

within four (4) seconds after air has been purged

from supply lines. Visually check that burner has lit.

c. Once the burner lights, the control knob should be

rotated out of the LITE position.

There are separate ignition devices for each burner.

Try each knob separately until all burner valves have

been checked.

8.4 Adjust the "LOW" Setting of Surface

Burner Valves (see Figure 7)

a. Push in and turn each control to LITE until burner

ignites.

b. Quickly turn knob to LOWEST POSITION.

c. If burner goes out, readjust valve as follows:

Reset control to OFF. Remove the surface burner

control knob, insert a thin-bladed screw driver into

the hollow valve stem and engage the slotted screw

inside. Flame size can be increased or decreased

with the turn of the screw. Adjust flame until

you can quickly turn knob from LITE to LOWEST

POSITION without extinguishing the flame. Flame

should be as small as possible without going out.
