Combination Range and Oven Controls
Wall Oven Controls
Separation of Flame into Distinct Cones
Note:
The range gas line shut-off valve (F) located
under the top of the range at the right end of
manifold pipe (G) must be turned off when
towing the trailer, when changing the gas
tanks, or if the gas supply is turned off for
any reason. Be sure oven pilot light has been
relighted as soon as range shut-off valve is
turned on.
The thermostat on your oven does not have a
by-pass setting. It will cycle off and on at all
temperature settings except broil. No by-pass
adjustment is necessary.
Oven Section:
The Thermostat Control Knob (A) is com¬
bined with the constant pilot shut-off. For
normal use: turn only between "OFF" and
"BROIL." When traveling, turn to "PILOT
OFF." Relight only when you want to use the
oven, by turning from "PILOT OFF" to
"OFF" and lighting with a match.
The air shutter (B) on the main burner is to
be adjusted so that each cone of flame is
separate and distinct, as illustrated.
Constant Pilot Adjustment:
1. Remove Control Knob and Bezel (A).
2. Using a screwdriver, turn slotted red-
colored Constant Pilot Selector (C) to LP
position. When the slot is in the vertical
position, the Selector Cartridge is in the
"OFF" position.
Heater Pilot Adjustment:
1. Replace Control Knob and turn to the 300
degree setting on the Control Knob Dial.
This opens the thermostatic valve in the
thermostat and allows gas to flow through
the Heater Pilot Tube to the Heater Pilot.
2. Remove the Control Knob.
3. Using a screwdriver, turn the slotted green-
colored Heater Pilot Adjusting Cartridge
(D) in either direction until the pilot flame
just envelopes the Temperature Responsive
Element (E).
4. Replace Bezel and Control Knob.
5. Make any air shutter adjustments for oven
burner flames.
Important: Your oven is equipped with a
safety ignition that requires a minimum of 30
seconds to operate after turning the oven
control knob on. The oven pilot may be slow
in lighting due to air in the gas lines.
Cleaning instructions:
1. The main top has been hinged from the
back so that it can be raised for cleaning
around the top burners.
2. When cleaning the top burner heads, care
should be taken that all ports are opened
up with a toothpick afterwards.
3. Spill-over or spotting in the oven or broiler
are more easily cleaned when removed
promptly after they occur. Never wash
porcelain when warm. Never use cleaning
powder containing grit or acid. When oven
bottom is replaced
after cleaning and
servicing, be sure that it is locked in place.
The front return
flange on the
oven
bottom must hook under the side support
angles to prevent warping.
