Adjusting the Top Burner and Oven Flame
Top Burner Valves
The top burners have orifices that are dedicated to the type of fuel to be used. These
orifices are not adjustable. They must be changed completely to convert from one gas to
the other. DO NOT DISCARD THE UNUSED ORIFICES. They should be saved in
order to convert the range back to its original fuel.
When converting the gas valves, the minimum flame adjustment screw must be adjusted.
Please see the supplied screwdriver in the conversion kit along with the orifices. The
proper flame size is approximately ¼” obtained. –
see adjustment procedure under conversions
page 14.
The properly adjusted maximum flame is approximately 3/4" high and has three distinct
cones; the kindling point, the dark blue center cone, and the outer mantel.
Cooktop Burner Operation
The top burner flame size should be adjusted so that is does not extend beyond the edge
of the cookware. As a matter of safety, it's recommended that you comply with
these instructions.
A high flame on a surface burner is both
inefficient and unsafe. The flame should
always be adjusted so that it is no larger
than the bottom of the pan. Fluctuations
in flame size could be caused by pressure
variations, improperly positioned burners,
damage or debris.
To ignite the burner, depress and turn the valve knob to the left to the 9 o’clock “position”.
When a top burner knob is pressed in, ALL electrodes will spark at a rate of
approximately 2 ½ pulses (sparks) per second. Continue to hold the knob depressed
until gas ignites at the burner. Adjust the intensity of top burner heat in the same
manner described above.
Note: In the event the electronic ignition system fails, the top burners and oven pilot
can be lit by holding a lighted match near the burner head and turning the
appropriate top burner knob to the “9 o’clock position”.
