Check Operation

To Light Standing Pilot Lights:
Before using the range, the standing pilots must be lit. They will
stay lit after turning off the burners.
1. Make sure all controls are off and the oven and cooktop are
cool.
2. Remove surface grates from the cooktop.
3. Lift the cooktop by both front corners and hold it by the
front center edge.
4. Using a match, light both burner pilot lights.
5. The surface pilot flames should be 0.4" – 0.6" (10 – 15 mm)
high.

6. If the pilot flame needs adjustment, use a flat blade
screwdriver and turn the adjusting screw until the flame is of
the desired height.

7. Slowly lower the cooktop until it snaps into position.
8. Push in and turn each surface burner control knob to the "HI"
position. The flame should light within 4 seconds.
9. If surface burners do not ignite, repeat steps 3 to 6.
10. Check each cooktop burner for proper flame. The small inner
cone should have a very distinct blue flame 1/4" to 1/2"
(6.4 mm to 13 mm) long. The outer cone is not as distinct as
the inner cone.
11. Turn the control knob quickly to the "LO" position after the
burner lights. If the flame goes out, turn the knob to the "OFF"
position.
12. Check each cooktop burner for proper low flame. The low
flame should be a mimimum, steady blue flame. The flame
size should be 1/4" to 3/8" (6.4 mm to 9.5 mm) high.
13. Replace cooktop grates.

If the low flame needs adjusting:
1. Turn control knob to the "LO" setting and remove control
knob.
2. Insert a small flat-blade screwdriver into the valve stem. Turn
the valve adjusting screw to obtain the smallest flame that will
not go out when the control of a cold burner is quickly turned
from "HI" to "LO". Turn right to decrease flame height. Turn
left to increase flame height. Repeat for other cooktop burners
as needed.
