TEST AND ADJUSTMENTS
Check for the proper burner flame characteristics.
Burner flames should be blue and stable with no yellow
tips, excessive noise or lifting of the flame from the
burner. If any of these conditions exist, check that the
air shutter (oven burner only) (Fig. 20) or burner ports
are not blocked. If this condition persists, contact a
qualified technician.
The oven burner flames should be 3/8” to 5/8” (Fig.
21). The infrared broil burner flames should be
approximately 1/4” high over the entire burner screen
(Fig. 22).
The stainless steel surfaces may be cleaned by wiping with a damp soapy cloth or sponge.
Any liquid soap (like Dawn or Stainless Steel Magic) will remove fingerprints and smears.
Do not use steel wool as it will scratch this surface.

GRIDDLE AND GRILL BURNERS (SOME MODELS ONLY)
Check for the proper burner flame characteristics and adjust air
shutters if necessary (Fig. 20). Each valve and air shutter is individually
tested and adjusted prior to shipment. Normally adjustment is not
required, however, vibration during transit, gas conversion or variations
in the local gas supply may make minor adjustments necessary. Burner
flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips, excessive noise
or lifting of the flame from the burner. If any of these conditions
exist, check that the air shutter or burner ports are not blocked. If this
condition persists, adjust the air shutter as required. If the flame is too
yellow, indicating insufficient air, adjust the shutter counterclockwise
to increase air inlet. If the flame is noisy or tends to lift away from the
burner, indicating too much air, turn the shutter clockwise to reduce
air. The griddle flames should be 3/8” to 5/8”. The grill burner flames
should be 3/8” to 5/8” (Fig. 21).
INFRARED BROIL AND OVEN BAKE BURNERS
(MAIN OVENS IN RANGE RG6/RG4/RG3 MODELS ONLY)
CAUTION:
The oven infrared broiler burner has no air shutter and Is not
adjustable. The oven bake burner has an air shutter and is adjustable.
It is necessary to operate the oven broiler for 20-30 minutes to
eliminate the harsh odor of the insulation binder. This must be done
before using the range for the first time and with proper ventilation.

RANGETOP BURNERS
The rangetop burners are not adjustable. Proper operation is achieved when the correct orifices for
gas supply are installed at the factory, based on model ordered.
When installing the burner port ring, be sure that the locating pin in the bottom side of the brass
star ring are properly aligned with the locating notch and center holes on the top side of the
burner base. Incorrect alignment will produce a potentially dangerous flame and poor burner
performance.
Note:
Burner flames should be blue and stable with no yellow-tipping (some yellow-tipping is normal
with LP gas), excessive noise, or lifting of flame from the burner (Fig. 18).
RANGETOP BURNER LIGHTING NOTE
The rangetop burners have an infinite number of heat settings and there are no fixed positions on
the control knobs between HI, LO and SIM. To turn the rangetop burner on, push in on the control
knob and turn it counterclockwise to the "LO" position. An audible clicking sound will be heard.
When the gas has been ignited by the electronic spark igniter, turn the knob to the desired setting
(Fig. 19).
Note:
The igniter will continue to click until a flame is present. If the rangetop burner does not ignite,
check the spark igniter by listening for a clicking sound. If you do not hear the igniter click, turn off
the burner. Check for a tripped circuit breaker, blown fuse, or poor wire connection to the igniter.
WARNING!:
When turning on any rangetop burner, be sure to stop at the "LO" position before turning the
burner to a flame setting for cooking. If the burner is not lit and it is turned beyond the "HI"
position, to HI there will be a burst of flame when the burner does light. This could cause burns or
damage to the surrounding countertop.

LEAK TESTING:
•
After final gas connection is made, turn on manual gas valve
and test all connections in gas supply piping for gas leaks with
a soapy water solution. During this test all appliance gas valves
have to be closed.
•
In order to avoid property damage or serious personal injury,
never use a lighted match or open flame. If a leak is present,
tighten joint or unscrew, apply more joint compound, tighten
again and retest connection for leak.
•
WARNING!:
For warranty coverage, Caliber Appliances requires that burner
adjustments be made by a qualified technician at the time of
installation. Extreme care should be used when adjustments are made
after installation. IMPROPER OR LACK OF ADJUSTMENT WILL VOID
YOUR WARRANTY.
