operation of the appliance, verify
that the unit and the gas supply
have been carefully checked for
leaks and that the unit has been
connected to the electrical power
supply. Turn the manual gas shut-
offvalve to the open position. Check
operation of the sealed gas burn-
ers and grill by pushing and turning
each knob counterclockwise to "HI".
The burner igniters will click until
the flame ignites. The two far left
sealed burners feature XLO _°_,
causing the flame to cycle on and

from the burner. If any of these
conditions exist, check that the air
shutter (grill only) or burner ports
are not blocked or clogged.

insufficient air, increase the shut-
ter opening to increase air inlet (grill
only).

NOTE: No air shutter or low flame
adjustment is necessary or pos-
sible with the sealed top burners.
