Testing Your Range; Adjusting The Flames - Whirlpool LWF7200 Instruction Manual

Testing your Range

Once the range has been installed, it's necessary to test the correct installation of the gas and power supply. For this, place the range on
its final location and turn on the cooktop burners and the oven.
Cooktop burners
Depending on the model of your range, the appliance may have 1 step or 2 step electronic ignition, some models with Match Ignition.
Follow this sequence to test the electronic ignition:
Ranges with 2 step electronic ignition:
If your range has the electronic ignition button: press and hold the button with the image
position (Ignition). See the following image.
You will hear a click, this is the spark's noise, it will light up the flame, once it is on, release the button.
The spark will ignite and the flame will be on the Ignite setting (Ignition). Once the burner is lighted, set the knob on the desired position.
The same procedure can be followed to light up the other burners.
Once you have finished the test, turn off all the burners.
If for any burner the flame doesn't light up after 5 seconds or you can't hear the click of the spark, follow these steps:
a) Turn the knob back to the OFF position (release the electronic ignition button if your range is equipped with this button).
b) Make sure the range is connected to the power supply. The electronic ignition system won't work if the range is unplugged.
c) Make sure the gas supply line is open (tank or shutoff valve).
Check the gas lines are not kinked, bended or damaged.
d) Repeat procedure depending the cause.
Even when the power is down, the burners can still be lighted up. For this case, follow these steps (match ignition model):
1. Light up a match and hold it close from the burner that you want to use.
2. Turn the knob to the Hi position (maximum flame), the flame should light up.
Oven burner
Depending on the model, your range may have an oven burner controlled by an oven control or by a thermostat.
The model with oven control have different temperature values and thermostat will haves the settings around the knob will go from 150°C
to 250°C.
To test the burner, follow these steps:
Model with thermostat match ignition or electronic ignition. (In some models).
1. Open the oven door.
2. Light up a match and hold it close from the oven burner (match burner), in case of ignition press
and hold button at same time oven knob to bottom.
3. Turn the oven knob to its original or desired temperature for thermostat models set to 150°C
holding knob for 4 seconds in order to keep oven burner on, check oven burner flames are
maintained once knob is released.
4. Close the oven door and open the grill door (models where apply). If the range have a Broiler
Cap open oven door and remove the shelf on the bottom of the oven, be carefully of handling.
Grab the shelf from both sides on the back part (see image), pull out and remove. The flame
should flow from all over the openings on the burner. Normally the flame should look blue,
steady and 1 cm tall. Otherwise see the section "Flame Adjustment", "Oven Burner Flame".
5. After the oven burner checkup and adjustment of the flame, turn the knob to the off position and if you have removed shelf replace the
bottom shelf to its original location.
6. After all these steps your oven is ready for use.

is open. Check the gas piping looking for kinks or other damage on the line.
b) Repeat the procedure from step 3.
