Test Electric Ignition - Siemens xTronic HG241 5UC Instructions Manual

7. Test for Gas Leaks
Leak testing is to be conducted by the installer according
to the instructions given in this section.
Turn on supply line gas shut off valve. Apply a non-
corrosive leak detection fluid to all joints and fittings in
the gas connection between the supply line shut-off valve
and the range. Include gas fittings and joints in the
range if connections may have been disturbed during
installation. Bubbles appearing around fittings and
connections indicate a leak.
If a leak appears, turn off supply line gas shut-off valve
and tighten connections. Retest for leaks by turning on
the supply line gas shut-off valve. When no bubbles
appear, test is complete. Wipe off all detection fluid
residue.
CAUTION
NEVER CHECK FOR LEAKS WITH A FLAME.
DO NOT CONTINUE TO THE NEXT STEP UNTIL
ALL LEAKS ARE ELIMINATED.

8. Test Electric Ignition

Test Cooktop Burner Ignition. Select a rangetop burner
knob. Push down and turn to the flame symbol. If the
ignitor/spark module is operating correctly, it will click.
Once the air has been purged from the supply lines, the
burner should light within four (4) seconds. After burner
lights, turn knob to the off position.
Test each rangetop burner in this fashion.
Test Broil Burner Ignition. Set cooking mode to Hi Broil.
The burner will ignite after 30-75 seconds.
Test Bake Burner Ignition. Set the oven to bake at 350°
F. After 30-75 seconds, the burner will ignite. The burner
will stay lit until the 350° F is reached and then shut off.
From this point forward, the burner will cycle on and off
to maintain the temperature.
Call Siemens Service 866-44SIEMENS (447-4363) if:
1. Any of the burners do not light.
2. The broil burner or bake burner does not stay lit.
3. The bake burner does not cycle.

9. Test Flame
The combustion quality of the flame for each burner must
be visually inspected. If your range is a gas range, the
bake burner and broil burner flames must also be visually
inspected. The flame should be blue with yellow tips. It
should carry over, or surround, the entire burner and
should not lift or blow off the burner.
To inspect, turn the burner on. See Figure 7 for
appropriate flame characteristics. To view the bake
burner, the oven bottom cover must be removed; remove
two rear thumb screws, slide forward and out.
If the flame is completely or mostly yellow, the
corresponding air shutter and/or the orifice must be
adjusted. Verify that the orifice is all the way tightened.
If the flame is still yellow, adjust the air shutter. After
adjustment, retest.
Note: With LP use, some yellow tipping on outer cones is
normal.
All burners must also be inspected for carryover. The
flame should completely surround the burner. If the
cooktop burners do not carry over, the bypass jet must be
adjusted (See step 4, page 3). If the broil or bake burner
does not carry over, adjust the corresponding air shutter
(see steps 10 and 11, below and next page).
Yellow Flames:
Further adjustment is required.
Yellow Tips on Outer Cones:
Normal for LP Gas.
Soft Blue Flames:
Normal for Natural Gas.
