Adjusting Simmer Low Setting on Surface Burners for Propane

Unplug range or disconnect power.
Using the square bit screwdriver, remove the surface burner control knobs and bezels (Oven control knobs and griddle control knobs do not have to be removed)
Open the oven door and remove the two screws on each side of the range that hold the control console in place.

NOTE: Make sure to leave the door open or the control console will not rest in the side brackets properly once it is attached.

Pull up on the control console and let it drop forward into the notched console brackets on each side.

A. Control console bracket
Locate the appropriate low-turndown screw for the appropriate burner on the given valve. The low-turndown screw for the left rear, right rear, center rear, and center front burner valves (aluminum) is located through the center of the valve stem. The low-turndown screw for the left front and right front burner valves (brass) is located behind the ignition switch on the valve body, left of the stem. To remove the ignition switch cut the wire tie and pull the switch off the valve stem.

With the burner ON (the burner will have to be lit manually with a lighter), and set to simmer LOW, adjust the simmer flame down to the proper BTU level. Using a 1/8″ x 4¼” (3.2 mm x 108 mm) flat blade screwdriver, turn the simmer low-turndown adjustment screw clockwise 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.
After adjustments are completed, replace the ignition switches onto the valves.
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.

A. Control console flange
B. Front lip of range cooktop
Check that the control console is flush with the top edge of the range.

A. Flush with range top
Replace the screws on each side of the control console.
Replace the bezels using the 2 screws which attach to the valve brackets, making note that there are front and rear bezels and will only attach properly in the correct location on the console.
Push the Surface Knobs onto the valve stems.
Replace the burner grates.

Complete Installation

Refer to the “Make Gas Connection” section for properly connecting the range to the gas supply.
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.
Refer to “Complete Installation” in the “Installation Instructions” section of this manual to complete this procedure
