Install control knobs. Check for
proper flame. The cooktop burner flames

The outer cone is not as distinct as the
inner cone. The oven burner flame
should be 1/2" long with a bluish-green
inner cone and dark blue outer mantle.
L.P. gas flames have a slightly yellow tip.
If the flames are noisy or blowing, they
are getting too much air. If the flames are
soft and lazy, they are not getting enough
air. If burners need adjusting, see "Check
operation" section, Steps 18-23, Page 7.
