ALIGNMENTS AND ADJUSTMENT, Continued ! WARNING Keep appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids. Do not obstruct the flow of air that is necessary for combustion and ventilation. 4. Top Burner Valves Top burner valves have orifices that are dedicated to the type of fuel to be used. These orifices are not adjustable. They must be changed completely to convert from one gas to the other. DO NOT DISCARD THE UNUSED ORIFICES. They should be saved in order to convert the range back to its original fuel. When converting the gas valves, the minimum flame adjustment screw must be adjusted through the center of the valve stem. You will need a 3/32" flat blade screw driver to make this adjustment. Hold the valve stem and turn the adjustment screw until the proper flame of approximately 1/8" is obtained. Adjust the air shutter, which is located on the throat of each burner, to obtain the proper mixture of gas and air to create the proper sharp blue flame without a red or yellow tip. The properly adjusted flame is approximately 3/4" high and has three distinct cones; the kindling point, the dark blue center cone, and the outer mantel. Note: "Full on" flame size illustrated. The flame height in the "Low" position should be approximately 1/8" high. REMOVE SHIPPING SCREWS FROM TOP BURNERS. 3/4" FLAME HEIGHT ON "HIGH" SETTING Standard Top Burner Valves All top burner valves operate counterclockwise to open the valve and clockwise to close the valve. To ignite gas, depress and turn the valve knob 90 degrees to the left to the "LITE" position. You will feel a detent in the knob. This position is also the "HI" position where the maximum gas flow rate is obtained, and the burner should light automatically from the pilot flame. By turning the top burner knob past the "HI" position, the valve can be adjusted to many different heat settings which should be determined by the amount of food being cooked, the amount of liquid, or the size of the utensil. Top Burners with Pilotless Electric Spark Ignition Ranges equipped with electric ignition will have the top ignitor electrodes in the same location as the familiar top burner standing pilots except for sealed burner models that employ an ignitor for each burner. (See page 13 in the Owner's Manual.) To ignite the burner, depress and turn the valve knob 90 degrees to the left to the "LITE" position. When a top burner knob is pressed, ALL electrodes will spark at a rate of approximately 2 1/2 pulses (sparks) per second. Continue to hold the knob depressed until gas ignites at the burner. Adjust the intensity of top burner heat in the same manner described above. 16
