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

Checking the STAR burner performance

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 star-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.
