Do Not use an open flame to test for
leaks from gas connections.
Checking for leaks with a flame may
result in a fire or explosion.

Use a brush and liquid detergent to test
all gas connections for leaks. Bubbles
around connections will indicate a leak.
If a leak appears, shut off gas valve
controls and adjust connections. Then
check connections again. NEVER TEST
FOR GAS LEAKS WITH A MATCH OR
OTHER FLAME. Clean all detergent
solution from range.
Initial lighting and gas flame
adjustments depend on type of
system — electronic ignition or
standing pilot. Raise cooktop and check
which system is available. Continue
installation, following steps under the
heading for this range's system.
Electronic Ignition System
Cooktop and oven burners use
electronic ignitors in place of standing
pilots. When the maintop 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 on, the ignitor
will spark until oven burner pilot is lit.

Check the
operation of the
maintop burners.
Push in and turn
each control knob to
"LITE" position. The flame
should light within 4 seconds.
Do Not leave the knob in the “LITE”
position after burner lights.
