leak detector (soap solution) at all joints and
connections to check for leaks. Do not use an
open flame to look for leaks. Be sure all leaks
are stopped before lighting burners.
[=_ 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.
_4, WARNING: The range a nd 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.
[=D-] CHECK THE IGNITERS
Operation of the electric igniters should be
checked after the cooktop and supply line
have been carefully checked for leaks and the
cooktop has been connected to the electrical
power.
a. Turn on gas.

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 cooktop
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 cooktop 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.

five seconds, turn the knob off and wait
5 minutes before trying again.
r_ BURNER FLAMES
Turn each burner on. Flames should be blue
in color with no trace of yellow. The burner
flames should not flutter or blow away from
the burner. The flame should be no less than
1/4" on the lowest setting and no greater than
1-1/2" on highest setting.
1/4" to Cooktop Burner
1-1/2"
Burners should be checked frequently
_4, WARNING: Ifyou attempt
to measure the flame, please use caution.
Burns could result.
