Low Flames
a. Turn all burners full on and check the flames.
They should be blue in color with no trace of
yellow. Foreign particles in the gas line may
cause an orange flame at first, but this will
soon disappear.
b. Turn control knob to low position while
observing the flame.
c. To make adjustment, remove the control
knobs and panel. Insert a screwdriver in the
shaft to adjust the valve by-pass screw.
BY-PASS SCREW
RIGHT
• If the flames were too small or fluttered,
open the valve more than the original setting.
• If the flames blew away from the burner,
close the valve more than the original setting.
d. Make the adjustment, by slowly turning the
screw until flame appearance is correct.
LP Conversion
OFF
Adjust the low flame setting using the valve
by-pass screw as follows:
Low setting adjustments must be made with
two other burners in operation on a medium
setting. This prevents the low flame from being
set too low, resulting in the flame being
extinguished when other burners are turned on.
e. Testing Flame Stability:
Test 1 – Turn the knob from "HI" to "LOW"
quickly. If the "LOW" flame goes
out, increase the flame size and
test again.
Test 2 – With the burner on the "LOW"
setting, open and close the cabinet
door under the cooktop. If the
flame is extinguished by the air
currents created by the door
movement, increase the flame
height and test again.
f. Flame Recheck:
After the adjustment is made, turn all burners
off. Ignite each burner individually. Observe the
flame at the "HI" position. Rotate the valve to
the "LO" position and be sure that the flame
size decreases as the valve is rotated
counterclockwise.
TO CONVERT THE COOKTOP BACK TO
NATURAL GAS, REVERSE THE STEPS
UNDER MAKING THE LP CONVERSION.
Once the conversion is complete and
checked ok, fill out the LP sticker and
include your name, organization and date
conversion was made. Apply the sticker
near the cooktop gas inlet opening to alert
others in the future that this appliance has
been converted to LP gas. If converting
back to natural gas from LP, please
remove the sticker so others know the
appliance is set to use natural gas.
