7. Moving the Appliance for Servicing and Cleaning Turn off the range line fuse or circuit breakers at the main power source, and turn off the manual gas shut-off valve. Make sure the range is cold. Remove the service drawer (warmer drawer on some models) and open the oven door. Lift the range at the front and slide it out of the cut-out opening without creating undue strain on the flexible gas conduit. Make sure not to pinch the flexible gas conduit at the back of the range when replacing the unit into the cutout opening. Replace the drawer, close the door and switch on the electrical power and gas to the range. 8.

To check for proper lighting: a.Push in and turn a surface burner knob to the LITE position. You will hear the igniter sparking. b. The surface burner should light when gas is available to the top burner. Each burner should light within four (4) seconds after air has been purged from supply lines. Visually check that burner has lit. c. Once the burner lights, the control knob should be rotated out of the LITE position. There are separate ignition devices for each burner. Try each knob separately until all burner valves have been checked. 8.4 Adjust the "LOW" Setting of Surface Burner Valves (see Figure 7) a.Push in and turn each control to LITE until burner ignites. b. Quickly turn knob to LOWEST POSITION. c. lf burner goes out, readjust valve as follows: Reset control to OFF. Remove the surface burner control knob, insert a thin-bladed screw driver into the hollow valve stem and engage the slotted screw inside. Flame size can be increased or decreased with the turn of the screw. Adjust flame until you can quickly turn knob from LITEto LOWEST POSITION without extinguishing the flame. Flame should be as small as possible without going out.
