Venting Requirements

IMPORTANT: This range must be exhausted outdoors unless you are using ductless venting. See the “Venting Methods” section.

• Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed area.
• Use an approved vent cap for proper performance. If an alternate wall or roof cap is used, be certain the cap size is not reduced and that it has a backdraft damper.
• Vent system must terminate to the outside unless you are using a ductless vent kit.
• Use a 5″ (12.7 cm) or 6″ (15.2 cm) round metal vent or a 3¼” x 10″ (8.3 cm x 25.4 cm) rectangular vent.
• Rigid metal vent is recommended. For best performance, do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
• If a joist or stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must be constructed.
• The size of the vent should be uniform.
• The vent system must have a damper.
• Seal all joints in the vent system.
• Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.
• Determine which venting method is best for your application.

For Best Performance:

• Use 26-gauge minimum galvanized or 25-gauge minimum aluminum metal vent. Poor quality pipe fittings can reduce airflow. For external venting, flexible metal vent is not recommended.
  NOTES:

  • For external venting, flexible metal vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates back pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduce performance.
  • Local codes may require a heavier gauge material.

• Metal duct may be reduced to 30-gauge galvanized steel or 26-gauge aluminized steel if allowed by local codes. This reduction is based on information in the International Residential Codes Section M1601.1 (2006 edition).

• Avoid installing 2 elbows together.

• Use no more than three 90° elbows.

• Make sure there is a minimum of 18″ (45.7 cm) of straight vent between the elbows if more than one elbow is used. Elbows too close together can cause excess turbulence that reduces airflow.

• Do not use a 5″ (12.7 cm) elbow in a 6″ (15.2 cm) or 3¼” x 10″ (8.3 x 25.4 cm) system.

• Do not reduce to a 5″ (12.7 cm) system after using a 6″ (15.2 cm) or 3¼” x 10″ (8.3 x 25.4 cm) fittings.

• Avoid forming handmade crimps. Handmade crimps may restrict airflow.

The length of vent system and number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance. The maximum equivalent length of the vent system is 60 ft (18.3 m). For altitudes above 4,500 ft (1272 m), reduce recommended vent run by 20% for best performance.

Cold Weather Installations
An additional backdraft damper should be installed to minimize backward cold air flow and a thermal break installed to minimize conduction of outside temperatures as part of the vent system. The damper should be on the cold air side of the thermal break. Order Part Number 708786A for a 5″ (12.7 cm) thermal break. Order Part Number 715557A for a 6″ (15.2 cm) thermal break. To order, see the “Assistance or Service” section of the Use and Care Guide.

Makeup Air
Local building codes may require the use of makeup air systems when using ventilation systems greater than specified CFM of air movement. The specified CFM varies from locale to locale. Consult your HVAC professional for specific requirements in your area.

   NOTE: If a Trim Kit will be used, the top of the cooktop should be higher than the counter. See the Installation Instructions included with the Trim Kit for the correct height.

Initial Lighting and Gas Flame Adjustments

Cooktop and oven burners use electronic igniters in place of standing pilots. When the cooktop control knob is turned to the ignite position, the system creates a spark to light the burner. All cooktop burners will spark, but only the burner with the control knob turned to the ignite position will produce a flame. This sparking continues as long as the control knob is turned to the ignite position. When the oven control is turned to the desired setting, sparking occurs and ignites the gas.

Check Operation of Cooktop Burners

Push in and turn each control knob to the ignite position. The flame 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

If Burners Do Not Light Properly:

• Turn cooktop control knob to the off position.
• Check that the range is plugged into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Check that the circuit breaker has not tripped or the household fuse has not blown.
• Check that the gas shut-off valves are set to the open position.
• Check that burner caps are properly positioned on burner bases.

Repeat start-up. If a burner does not light at this point, turn the control knobs to the off position and contact your dealer or authorized service company for assistance. Please reference the “Warranty” section of the Use and Care Guide to contact service.

Adjust Flame Height

Adjust Surface Burner Flame

Adjust the height of top burner flames. The cooktop “low” burner flame should be a steady blue flame approximately 1/4″ (6 mm) high. Propane gas flames have a slightly yellow tip.

To Adjust Standard Burner:
The flame can be adjusted using the adjustment screw in the center of the valve stem. The valve stem is located directly underneath the control knob.

If the “Low” Flame Needs to be Adjusted:

1.  Light one burner and turn to lowest setting.
2.  Remove the control knob. Hold the knob stem with a pair of pliers. Use a small flat-blade screwdriver to turn the screw located in the center of the control knob stem until the flame is the proper size. Turning the screw clockwise will increase the flame size, and turning the screw counterclockwise will decrease the flame size.
3.  Replace the control knob.
4.  Test the flame by turning the control from the low position to the high position, checking the flame at each setting.
5.  Repeat the previous steps for each burner.

To Adjust Double Burner (On Some Models):

1.  Light burner and turn to lowest setting where both inner and outer burners are lit.
2.  Remove the control knob. Hold the knob stem with a pair of pliers. Use a small flat-blade screwdriver to turn the screw located in the center of the control knob stem until the flame is the proper size. Turning the screw clockwise will increase the flame size, and turning the screw counterclockwise will decrease the flame size.
