Make Gas Connection

Typical rigid pipe connection
A combination of pipe fittings must be used to connect the range
to the existing gas line. Your connections may be different,
according to the supply line type, size and location.
1. Apply pipe-joint compound made for use with LP gas to all
pipe thread connections.
2. Using a pipe wrench to tighten, connect the gas supply to the
range.

2. Test all connections by brushing on an approved
noncorrosive leak-detection solution. If bubbles appear, a
leak is indicated. Correct any leak found.
3. Remove cooktop burner caps and grates from parts
package. Align notches in burner caps with pins in burner
base. Burner caps should be level when properly positioned.
If burner caps are not properly positioned, surface burners
will not light. Place burner grates over burners and caps.

Electronic Ignition System

Initial lighting and gas flame adjustments
Cooktop burners use electronic igniters in place of standing
pilots. When the cooktop control knob is turned to the "LITE"
position, the system creates a spark to light the burner. This
sparking continues, as long as the control knob is turned to
"LITE."
Check Operation of Cooktop Burners
Standard Surface Burners
Push in and turn each control knob to the "LITE" position.
The flame should light within 4 seconds. The first time a burner is
lit it may take longer that 4 seconds to light because of air in the
gas line.
TripleTier ® Flame Burner
To start simmer burner:
Push in and turn control knob to "LITE."
The flame should light within 4 seconds. The first time a burner is
lit it may take longer that 4 seconds to light because of air in the
gas line.
To start power burner:
Push in control knob again and turn to "POWER BURNER HI" to
light the outer burner.
The flame should light within 4 seconds. The first time a burner is
lit it may take longer that 4 seconds to light because of air in the
gas line.
If burners do not light properly:
Turn cooktop control knob to the "OFF" position.
Check that the range is plugged in and the circuit breaker has
not tripped or the household fuse has not blown.
Check that the gas shutoff valves are set to the "open"
position.
