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 the "LITE" position. The flame should light within 4 seconds. OFF LITE LO HI MED 3. Turn control knob to the "HI" position after burner lights. 4. Check each cooktop burner for proper flame. The small inner cone should have a very distinct blue flame ¼" (0.64 cm) to ½" (0.13 cm) long. The outer cone is not as distinct as the inner cone. A B A. Outer cone B. 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 ¼" to ³⁄₈" (0.64 cm to 0.95 cm) high. If the low flame needs adjusting: 1. With the burner flame on, turn control knob to the "LO" position 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. Check Operation of Oven/Broil Burner 1. Open broiler door. 2. Press in and turn the oven control knob to 350°F.

The oven valve requires a certain time before it will open and allow gas to flow. To avoid damaging the hot surface igniter, do not insert any object into the openings of the shield that surrounds the igniter. Do not clean that area. 3. Check the oven burner for proper flame. The flame should be ½" (0.13 cm) long, with inner cone of bluish-green. The outer mantle should be 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, and flame spreader and set aside. A A B C A. Oven tray (lift up at area shown to remove) B. Screws C. Flame spreader 3.

When the flame has been properly adjusted, turn the oven off and wait for the burner to cool down. 11
