aside. Lift oven burner. The orifice spud is
behind the oven burner air shutter.

b.

Locate L.P. gas orifice spud stamped

“56” in literature package supplied with

Install the number “56” L.P. gas spud.

Place natural gas oven burner spud in
plastic parts bag along with natural gas
cooktop burner spuds for future use and
keep with literature package.

7.

Turn manual shutoff valve in gas

supply line on. If “Gas and electrical
connection” Steps 10–16 on Page 6 were
not completed, complete them now.

8.

Install control knobs. Check for

proper flame. The cooktop burner flames
should have a small inner cone with 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. The oven
burner flame should be 1/2" (1.3 cm) long
with a bluish-green inner cone and dark
blue outer mantle. L.P. gas flames have a
slightly yellow tip. If the flames are noisy
or blowing, they are getting too much air.
If the flames are soft and lazy, they are
not getting enough air. If burners need
adjusting, see “Check operation” section,
Steps 17–22, Page 7.
