burners.
'Problem: Burner fails to light Usually too
much air. Decrease air.
Top burner pilot adjustment:
Adjust top pilot so that tip of flame is just
over the edge of inner cone. Top burner
pilot adjustment screw can be reached by
removing thermostat knob (See Fig. 2.) on
ranges equipped with thermostats having
top burner pilot shut-off feature. Burners
should light within 4 seconds. If lighting is
difficult refer back to the previous step on
ranges with air shutters.
Warning: Never allow the top cover to be
closed while the range is in operation, as
this could extinguish the flame and
permit gas to escape into the trailer.
Oven Section
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. There are no
oven pilot adjustments on the thermostat.
Control has been factory preset for use on
L.P. gas. No field adjustment is necessary.
The air shutter has been adjusted at the
factory however, it may require additional
adjustment when used at high altitudes.
To adjust main oven burner air shutter:
Open air shutter to the full open position
where you have a blowing condition. Begin
closing the shutter slowly. When you reach
the correct adjustment, blowing will stop.
Burner should have a sharp blue flame
approximately 3 Inches long.
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 or removed
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 range exhaust hood
(see Fig 3)
vents cooking heat and smoke from the
trailer. To operate, pull down on lever
located on the right hand side of central
control panel. This will open the shutter and
turn on the switch for the power fan. Clean
the filter at least every six months with
warm water and detergent. To remove the
filter, remove the two screws that secure it
to the housing and let it drop out while
supporting it with your hand. Keep the vent
housing clean of grease and dirt by fre¬
quent washing.
Additional information on the Range and
Oven is available in the Airstream Service
Manual.
