!
FOR GAS LEAKS.
l
When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to
pressure test the gas supply system of the residence,
disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve
from the gas supply piping. When using test pres-
sures of 1/2 psig or less to test the gas supply sys-
tem, simply isolate the range from the gas supply
system by closing the individual shut-off valve.

2. Remove all 4 knobs.
3. With a small flat blade screwdriver, turn the valve
set screws clockwise to decrease flame size, coun-
terclockwise to increase flame size° Adjust until the
flame is about the same height as the top of the

Adjust The Surface Burner Pilots (For
Models Equipped With Standing Pilots)
1. Raise the cooktop.
2. Locate the pilot
adjustment screw.. It can
be accessed through the
small hole near the center of
the manifold panel°
3. To adjust, use a blade-type screwdriver with a shaft
diameter of less than 3/16"_ Turn pilot adjustment
screw until pilot is 5/16" high, Do not reduce the
flame to less than 5/16" or pilot outage may occur.
A pilot flame burning higher than recommended
may generate soot (carbon black) on the bottom of
your cooktop.
