to test all gas connections for leaks. Bubbles
around connections will indicate a leak. If a
leak appears, shut off gas valve controls

Panel C
Electronic Ignition System —
initial lighting and gas flame
adjustments.
Cooktop and oven burners use electronic
ignitors in place of standing pilots. When the
cooktop control knob is turned to "LITE"
position, the system creates a spark to light
the burner. This sparking continues until the
control knob is turned to the desired setting.
When the oven control is turned to the
desired setting, a glow bar heats up bright
orange and ignites the gas. No sparking
occurs and the glow bar remains on while
the burners operate.

B Check the
operation of the cooktop
burners. Push in and turn
each control knob to "LITE"
position. The flame should
___
light within 4 seconds. Do Not leave the
knob in the “LITE” position after burner lights.
15
■ B After burner lights, turn
control knob to "HI" position. Check '
each cooktop burner for proper
flame. At the "HI" setting, the small
inner cone should have a very
distinct blue flame 1/2" long. The
outer cone is not as distinct as the inner
cone. No air adjustment can be made.
1 / 2 "
Push in and turn the
control knob to the "LITE" position
and then to the "LOW" position. The low
flame should be a minimum, steady, biue
flame. To adjust the burner, remove the
control knob and turn the adjustment screw
in the center of the valve stem. Check the
adjustment by turning the control knob from
"HI" to "LOW" several times. The burner is
properly adjusted when the low flame
remains steady and the burner does not go
out. Check each burner.
