18.

Push in and turn each surface unit 

control knob to “LITE” position. The flame
should light within 4 seconds. Turn control
knob to desired setting after burner lights. 

Check each cooktop burner for proper flame.

The small inner cone should have a very
distinct blue flame 1/4" to 1/2" long.
The outer cone is not as distinct as
the inner cone. If the flame is noisy
or blowing, it is getting too much
air. If the flame is soft and lazy, it is
not getting enough air. Turn each
surface burner control knob to
“OFF” position. Adjust air shutter if
needed.

If pilot light does not stay lit, adjust pilot
adjustment screw (see Step 15, Page 5).

If surface burners need adjusting:

Note: The manifold panel must be removed to
access the air shutters.

Push in and turn the oven control knob to
“350˚F.” The oven pilot should now be larger
with the flame burning against a small metal
bulb. 

The oven burner should light in 20-40

seconds; this delay is normal.

The oven valve

requires a certain time before it will open and
allow gas to flow.

The oven burner will burn until oven
temperature has reached 350°F. At that
temperature, the oven pilot should get smaller.
After 20-40 seconds, the oven burner will begin
to cycle on and off to maintain the 350°F
temperature.

20.

Check the oven burner 

for proper flame. 

The flame should be

1/2" long, with inner cone of bluish-
green, and outer mantle of dark blue,
and should be clean and soft in
character. No yellow tips, blowing or lifting of
flame should occur.

If oven flame needs adjusting:

Locate the air shutter near rear wall of broiler
area. Loosen shutter screw and adjust the air
shutter until the proper flame appears. Tighten
shutter screw.

21.

Close the broiler door. Turn the oven

control knob to “OFF”.

19.

Open broiler drawer.

1. Adjust the air shutter for each burner by hand

as needed. Close the air shutter to decrease
the amount of air to the flame. Open the air
shutter to increase the amount of air to the
flame. Adjust the air shutter to the widest
opening that will not cause the flame to lift or
blow off of the burner. 

2. Repeat the first part of Step 17 after adjusting

the air shutters. 
Replace manifold panel and knobs if
removed to adjust air shutters.
