Installation Instructions INSTALL THE RANGE (CONT.) B CHECK FOR LEAKS Turn the gas supply on and use a liquid leak detector (soap solution) at all joints and connections to check for leaks. Do not use an open flame to look for leaks. Be sure all leaks are stopped before lighting burners. C PRESSURE TEST INFORMATION The maximum allowable supply pressure for the regulator is 14″ W.C. The minimum supply pressure needed to check the regulator setting is 7″ W.C. for natural gas and 10″ W.C. for LP gas. WARNING: The range and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the gas supply system at test pressures of more than 1/2 psig (pounds per square inch gauge). The range must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply system at test pressures equal to or greater than 1/2 psig. NOTE: 1/2 psig = 13.855″ w.c. D CHECK THE IGNITERS Operation of the electric igniters should be checked after the cooktop and supply line have been carefully checked for leaks and the cooktop has been connected to the electrical power. a. Turn on gas. b. Push and turn a burner valve to the LITE position. • The burner valve should light when gas is available to the burner. • Once the burner lights, it should be turned out of the LITE position. c. Try each valve separately until all burners have been checked. E BURNER IGNITION Cooktop Spark Ignition-When you turn the cooktop knob to LITE, the spark igniter makes a series of electric sparks (ticking sounds) which light the burner. During a power failure the burners will not light automatically. In an emergency, a cooktop burner may be lit with a match by following the steps below. WARNING: Lighting gas burners with a match is dangerous. You should match light the cooktop burners only in an emergency. a. Light a match and hold the flame near the burner you want to light. Wooden matches work best. b. Push in and turn the control knob slowly. Be sure you are turning the correct knob for the burner you are lighting. NOTE: If the burner does not light within five seconds, turn the knob off and wait 5 minutes before trying again. F BURNER FLAMES Turn each burner on. Flames should be blue in color with no trace of yellow. The burner flames should not flutter or blow away from the burner. The flame should be no less than 1/4″ on the lowest setting and no greater than 1-1/2″ on highest setting. 1/4″ to 1-1/2″ Cooktop Burner Burners should be checked frequently WARNING: If you attempt to measure the flame, please use caution. Burns could result. 14
