Adjust the Surface Burner Pilots if Necessary

1. 

Raise the cooktop.

2. 

Locate the pilot 

adjustment screw. It can
be accessed through the 
small hole near the center  
of the manifold panel.

3. 

To adjust, use a blade-type screwdriver with 

a shaft diameter of less than 3/16

. Turn pilot

adjustment screw until pilot is 5/16

high. Do

not reduce the flame to less than 5/16

or pilot

outage may occur. A pilot flame burning higher
than recommended may generate soot (carbon
black) on the bottom of your cooktop.

Light the Oven Pilot

CAUTION:

Make sure the OVEN CONTROL

knob is in the OFF position before attempting to
light the pilot.

1.

Remove the broiler drawer by sliding the

drawer all the way out and then lifting slightly to
remove it from its tracks.

2. 

Locate the pilot at the 

back of the broiler 
compartment. The pilot 
is attached to the left 
side of the oven burner.

3.

Light the pilot with a 

match. No adjustments are 
required for natural gas. 
If range is connected to 
LP gas, contact the 
person who installed 
your range or 
made the conversion.

LIGHT THE PILOTS 

(For Models Equipped with Standing Pilots. 
If the range is an electric ignition model, the
burners are ignited by electric ignition which
eliminates the need for standing pilot lights.)
The range should be installed in its permanent
position before any pilots are lit or adjusted.

Light the Surface Burner Pilots

CAUTION:

Make sure the surface burner

control knobs are in the OFF position before
attempting to light the pilots.

1.

Raise the cooktop.

2.

Light both pilots with a match.

3.

To avoid pilot outage, use caution when

closing cooktop after lighting pilots.

NOTE:

Do not leave standing pilot lit in a newly

constructed or remodeled home or apartment
that will be unoccupied for more than a month.
Each pilot flame was adjusted at the factory to
be approximately 5/16

tall. A tinge of yellow

appearing at the upper tip is normal. If you find
pilot adjustment is necessary, follow instructions
at right.

SEAL THE OPENINGS

Seal any openings in the wall behind the range
and in the floor under the range when hookups
are completed.
