Initial Lighting and Gas Flame Adjustments

Range burners use electronic ignitors in place of standing pilots. When the Range Control Knob is turned to any position, the system creates a spark to light the burner. This sparking continues until the flame is lit or the knob is turned to OFF.

NOTE: The first time igniting the burners will take longer. This allows the gas to reach the burners during the first use.

Check Operation of Range Burners

Push in and turn each Control Knob to

NOTE: You will hear a clicking sound while the line clears.

The surface burners and grill flames should light within 4 seconds. The first time a burner is lit, it may take longer than 4 seconds to light because of air in the gas line.

After verifying the proper burner operation, turn the Control Knobs to OFF.

A. Low-turndown adjustment screw for Aluminum Valve through center of stem.
B. Low-turndown adjustment screw for Brass Valve.

  1. With the burner ON (the burner will have to be lit manually with a lighter), and set to simmer LOW, adjust the simmer flame up to the proper BTU level. Using a 1/8'' × 414'' ( 3.2 mm × 10.8 cm ) flat blade screwdriver, turn the simmer low-turndown adjustment screw counterclockwise until the flame height is at, or below, the bottom of the cap. If the flame becomes unstable and flickers or appears to race around the burner, the adjustment is too low and the screw should be adjusted counterclockwise until the flame is stable. Repeat this step for all surface burners.

NOTE: Use a knob to adjust the burner valve.

NOTE: Adjust each burner individually.

  1. After adjustments are completed, replace the ignition switches onto the valves.
  2. Lift up on the control console and set it back into place. For a proper fit, the flange of the control console must hook over the lip on the front of the range cooktop.

NOTE: It may be necessary to lift valve stems to align with console holes.

Complete Installation

  1. Refer to the "Make Gas Connection" section for properly connecting the range to the gas supply.
  2. Refer to the "Electronic Ignition System" section for proper burner ignition, operation, and burner flame adjustments.
    IMPORTANT: You may have to adjust the "LO" setting for each range burner.
    Checking for proper range burner flame is very important. The small inner cone should have a very distinct blue flame 1/4'' (6.4 mm) to 1/2'' (1.3 cm) long. The outer cone is not as distinct as the inner cone. Propane gas flames have a slightly yellow tip.
  3. Refer to "Complete Installation" in the "Installation Instructions" section of this manual to complete this procedure.
