[] PRESSURE TEST INFORMATION
The maximum allowable supply pressure for
the regulator is 14"W.C. The minimum supply
pressure needed to check the regulator setting
is 7" W.C. for natural gas and 10" W.C. for LP gas.
WARNING:
The range and its
individual shut-off valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of the gas supply system at
test pressures of more than 1/2 psig (pounds
per square inch gauge). The range must be
isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual shut-off valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply system at
test pressures equal to or greater than 1/2
psig. NOTE: 1/2 psig = 13.855" w.c.
[] CHECK THE IGNITERS
Operation of the electric igniters should be
checked after the cool{top and supply line
have been carefully checked for leaks and the
cool{top has been connected to the electrical
power.
a. Turn on gas.
b. Push and turn a burner valve to the LITE
position.
• The burner valve should light when gas
is available to the burner.
• Once the burner lights, it should be
turned out of the LITE position.
c. Try each valve separately until all burners
have been checked.
[] BURNER IGNITION
Cool{top Spark Ignition--When you turn
the cool{top knob to LITE, the spark igniter
makes a series of electric sparks (ticking
sounds) which light the burner. During a
power failure the burners will not light
automatically. In an emergency, a cool{top
burner may be lit with a match by following
the steps below.
WARNING:
Lighting gas burners
with a match is dangerous. You should match
light the cool{top burners only in an
emergency.
a. Light a match and hold the flame near the
burner you want to light. Wooden matches
work best.
b. Push in and turn the control knob slowly.
Be sure you are turning the correct knob
for the burner you are lighting.
NOTE: If the burner does not light within
five seconds, turn the knob off and wait five
minutes before trying again.
