Checking The Flame And Burner Performance - Thermador PALPKITHW Installation Instructions Manual

2. Turn the mode knob and the oven temperature knob
to BROIL while blocking the broil orifice hole with a
soft pencil eraser, your finger, or something similar.
• There will be a delay of approximately 45 to 90
seconds as the safety valve coil heats to release
the valve's actuator. A single pop noise can usually
be heard as the broiler's safety valve opens.
3. Monitor the base of the orifice junction, elbow fitting,
and compression nut to see if bubbles are forming
anywhere around the connections.
• Bubbles forming are indications of gas leaks.
4. If appliance leaks, repair all gas leaks immediately. Do
not over-torque the junctions, orifices or nuts, or bend
the gas tubes.
5. If applicable, repeat for the auxiliary broil orifice.
Gas leak checking the bake orifice(s)
To leak check the oven bake burner orifice(s)
1. Spray a generous amount of soap and water
mixture—or other solution designed for checking gas
leaks—on the threaded junction at the base of the
orifice, the elbow fitting, and gas tube compression
nut. (A 25% dishwashing liquid to water mixture is
effective for this.) Avoid spraying electrical
components.
2. Turn the mode knob to BAKE and the oven
temperature knob to any setting while blocking the
bake orifice hole with your finger.
• There will be a delay of approximately 45 to 90
seconds as the safety valve coil heats to release
the valve's actuator. A single pop noise can usually
be heard as the broiler's safety valve opens.
3. Monitor the base of the orifice junction, elbow fitting,
and compression nut to see if bubbles are forming
anywhere around the connections.
• Bubbles forming are indications of gas leaks.
4. If appliance leaks, repair all gas leaks immediately. Do
not over-torque the junctions, orifices or nuts, or bend
the gas tubes.
5. If applicable, repeat for the auxiliary bake orifice.
6. If the appliance has been satisfactorily leak checked,
turn off the gas and electric supplies. Reinstall the
auxiliary bake burner mounting bracket, if applicable,
and continue to "Checking the flame and burner
performance".

Checking the STAR
9 WARNING
When cooking with the STAR burners, the burner
flame size should be adjusted so it does not extend
beyond the edge of the cooking utensil. This
instruction is based on safety considerations.
To observe the burner flames, it may be necessary to turn
off lights or close window blinds to darken the room for
easier viewing of the flame.
Reassemble the rangetop as follows:

TIP: Use the burner venturi as a centering guide when
remounting the burner pedestals. If the pedestals are
centered, the venturi will slide in and out easily after the T-
30 torx head screw has been secured. If the pedestals are
not centered properly, loosen the mounting screw and
recenter the burner until the venturi slides freely.
