Range/Oven.56 - Airstream Excella 1975 Owner's Manual

Range/Oven
Your Airstream is equipped with a Magic Chef
gas range and oven. The following are some
hints on how to keep them operating at their
best.
Range Section
The range is equipped with coaxial orifices for
use with LPG. The flame will be approximate¬
ly V
2
inch long. Do not attempt to adjust gas
to burner. The orifices have no adjustment.
Air shutters on top burners are to be adjusted
so that each cone of the flame is separate and
distinct and appears as illustrated in the figure
to the right. Air shutters set too far open will
cause the flame to lift away from the burner
head and it will be difficult to light. If the air
shutters are closed too much, the flame will
look hazy and the distinct cones will be
missing.
Problem: Flame lifts off ports—Too much air.
Problem: Soot formations — Not enough air.
Problem: Flame flashes back into air mixture
chamber — Too much air in proportion to gas.
Slightly decrease air.
Problem: Orange flame; caused by small
filings in new burners or dust in air—Clean
burners.
Problem: Burner fails to light — Usually too
much air.
Note: To adjust air-gas mixture, rotate the
sleeve behind the burner control knob. De¬
crease air by closing the opening, and increase
air by opening it.

International Oven
Adjust the top pilot so that the tip of the
flame is just over the edge of the inner cone.
The burners should light within 4 seconds. If
lighting is difficult, refer back to the previous
step.
Never allow the top cover to be closed while
the range is in operation, as this will extin¬
guish the flame and permit gas to escape into
the trailer.
Range Exhaust Hood
Note: The range gas line shut-off valve,
located on the lower exterior of the trailer
below the range, must be turned off when
towing the trailer, when changing the gas
tanks, or if the gas supply is turned off for
any reason. Be sure oven pilot light has been
relighted as soon as range shut-off valve is
turned on.
The thermostat on your oven does not have a
by-pass setting. It will cycle off and on at all
