adjustments.

When the cooktop control knob is turned to

"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 glow bar heats up
bright orange and Ignites the gas. No
sparking occurs and the glow bar remains
on while the burner operates.

16

Check the

operation of the cooktop
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.

17

After burner lights, turn

control knob to "HI" position. Check
each cooktop burner for proper flame.
The small inner cone should have a very
distinct blue flame approximately 1 /2"
long. The outer cone Is not as distinct as
the inner cone.

18.

If burners

need adjusting for proper
flame, remove burner
grates and carefully liff
up the maintop. Adjust
the air shutter to the
widest opening that will
produce a sharp blue flame that does not lift
or blow off of the burner. Repeat as
necessary with each burner.

19

Push in and turn

the control knob to the
"LITE" position and then to
the "LO" position. The low
flame should be a
minimum, steady, blue
flame. To adjust the burner,
remove the control knob and turn the
adjustment screw in the center of the valve

stem. Check the adjustment by turning the
control knob from "HI" to "LO" several times.
The burner is properly adjusted when the low
flame remains steady and the burner does
not go out. Check each burner.
