  1. If the range is not level, pull the range forward until rear leveling leg is disengaged from the anti-tip bracket.
  2. Place a standard flat rack in oven.
  3. Place the level on the rack.
  4. Using a wrench or pliers, adjust the leveling legs up or down until the range is level.
  5. Push range back into position.
  6. Check that rear leveling leg is engaged in the anti-tip bracket.

CHECK OPERATION OF ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM

The cooktop and oven burners use electronic igniters in place of standing pilots. When the cooktop control knob is turned to the “ICON” position, the system creates a spark to light the burner. This sparking continues, as long as the control knob is turned to ICON. When the oven control is turned to the desired setting, sparking occurs and ignites the gas.

Check Operation of Standard Surface Burners

Push in and turn each control knob to the ICON 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:

  1. Turn burner control knob to the OFF position.
  2. Check that the range is plugged in.
  3. Check that the circuit breaker has not tripped or the household fuse has not blown.
  4. Check that the gas shutoff valves are set to the open position.
  5. 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.

To adjust flame height

Adjust the height of burner flames. The cooktop “low” burner flame should be a steady blue flame approximately 1/4 (6.4 mm) high.

  • a Low Flame
  • b High Flame

To adjust standard burner

IMPORTANT
Adjustments must be made with two other burners in operation on a medium setting. This prevents the upper row of flames from being set too low, resulting in the flame being extinguished when other burners are turned on. The flame can be adjusted using the adjustment screw in the center of the valve stem. The valve stem is located directly behind the control knob.

If the low flame needs to be adjusted
  • a Adjustment Screw
  • b Control Knob Stem
  1. Light one burner and turn the control knob to the lowest setting.
  2. Remove the control knob.
  3. Insert a small, flat-blade screwdriver into the adjustment screw, and slowly turn the screw until the flame appearance is correct.
  4. Open the valve more if the flames are too small or fluttered.
  5. Close the valve more if the flames are too large.
  6. Replace the control knob.
  7. Test the flame by turning the control from LO to HI, checking the flame at each setting.
  8. Repeat above steps for each burner.

ADJUST BURNER FLAMES

NOTES

  • Turn all burners on highest setting and check the flames.
  • They should be blue in color and may have some yellow tipping at the ends of the flame when using LP gas.
  • Foreign particles in the gas line may cause an orange flame at first, but this will soon disappear.
  • Turn the cooktop burner knob to LO while observing the flame.
  • Adjustments must be made with two other burners in operation on a medium setting.
  • This prevents the upper row of flames from being set too low, resulting in the flame being extinguished when other burners are turned on.
To adjust flame height

Adjust the height of burner flames. The cooktop low burner flame should be a steady blue flame approximately 1/4 (6.4 mm) high.

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 behind the control knob.

If the low flame needs to be adjusted
  • a Adjustment Screw
  • b Control Knob Stem
  1. Light one burner and turn the control knob to the lowest setting.
  2. Remove the control knob.
  3. Insert a small, flat-blade screwdriver into the adjustment screw, and slowly turn the screw until the flame appearance is correct.
  4. Open the valve more if the flames are too small or fluttered.
  5. Close the valve more if the flames are too large.
  6. Replace the control knob.
  7. Test the flame by turning the control from LO to HI checking the flame at each setting.
  8. Repeat above steps for each burner.

TESTING FLAME STABILITY

Test 1

Turn the knob from HI to LO quickly. If the upper row of flames goes out at this setting, increase the flame size and test again.

Test 2

With the burner on LO, open and close the cabinet door under the cooktop. If the air currents created by the door moving extinguish the flame, increase the flame height and test again.

FLAME RE CHECK

After the adjustment is made, turn all burners off. Ignite each burner individually. Observe the flame at the “HI” position. Rotate the knob to the lowest setting and be sure that the flame size decreases as the knob is rotated counterclockwise.

IMPORTANT
Once the conversion has been completed and has passed testing, fill out the conversion sticker and include your name, organization and the date conversion is made. Apply the sticker near the cooktop gas inlet opening to alert others in the future that this appliance has been converted. If converting back to Natural Gas, please remove the sticker so others know that the appliance is set to use its original gas.

ABNORMAL OPERATION

ANY OF THE FOLLOWING ARE CONSIDERED TO BE ABNORMAL OPERATION AND MAY REQUIRE SERVICING:

  • Yellow tipping of the hob burner flame.
  • Sooting up of cooking utensils.
  • Burners not igniting properly.
  • Burners failing to remain lit.
  • Burners extinguished by oven door.
  • Gas valves, which are difficult to turn.

IN CASE THE APPLIANCE FAILS TO OPERATE CORRECTLY, CONTACT THE AUTHORIZED SERVICE PROVIDER IN YOUR AREA THE BURNERS REQUIRE NO REGULATION OF THE PRIMARY AIR.
