WARNING

Oven Light Switch

Oven light switch is a single pole single throw rocker type
switch mounted in the right side of the control panel.
Follow the procedures below to test the switch.
1. Turn off power to the range.
2. Partially remove control panel to gain access to
switch terminals.
3. Disconnect switch wire leads.
4. Attach an ohmmeter, set to the R X 1 scale, to switch
terminals 1 and 2. Continuity should be indicated
when the switch is set to "ON" position and no
continuity (infinite ohms) should be indicated when
switch is set to "OFF" position.

Oven Light Socket

Oven light socket is mounted in the left rear upper corner
of the oven tank adjacent to oven heat sensor. The light
socket can be checked for continuity by following the
procedures below.
1. Turn off power to the range.
2. Remove maintop assembly to gain access to socket
terminals.
3. Disconnect socket wire leads.
4. Attach an ohmmeter to socket terminals. When bulb
is removed from the socket, no continuity (open)
should be indicated. When bulb is screwed into
socket, bulb filament resistance (approximately
30–40 ohms) should be indicated. If infinite
resistance (open) is indicated with bulb in place,
replace bulb and recheck. If bulb replacement does
not correct the problem, replace socket.

To avoid possible electrical shock, personal injury, or death,
disconnect power and turn off gas supply before servicing,
unless testing requires it.

Surface/Grill Burner Valve Adjustment

The surface/grill burner valves are push to turn, 170°
rotation burner valves with detent positions at low and
medium settings. Low burner flame can be adjusted by
following the procedures below:
1. Turn burner valve to "LITE" position to ignite burner.
2. After burner ignites, turn valve to "LOW" setting and
remove knob.
3. Turn downdraft fan motor on "HI" speed.
4. Adjust low burner flame by turning adjustment screw
in the center of the valve stem.
Normally, low burner flame should be set to allow a
minimum steady blue flame without being
extinguished by downdraft air draw. Verify final
adjustment, by turning from "HI" to "LOW" several
times to make sure burner does not go out.

Surface Burner Adjustment

1. Remove surface burner module from maintop.
2. Remove module top by depressing retaining spring
clips on either side of module pan and lifting off the
module top.
3. Reinstall surface burner module into maintop.
4. Push in and turn surface valve knob fully
counterclockwise to light burner. If burner will not
light, light it with a match. Turn burner knob to "HI"
setting.
5. Adjust air shutter until inner blue cones of flame
approximately 5/8" long are obtained. The proper way
to do this is to open the air shutter until flames start to
lift from the burner. Close air shutter until flames are
stable on burner.
6. Remove surface module and install module top.
Reinstall module into maintop.
7. Place a pan of water on burner grate and check for
proper lighting and flame characteristics. There
should be no yellow tips and no lifting of flames.
8. Readjust if necessary.
