Installation Instructions
INSTALL THE RANGE (CONT.)
CHECK FOR LEAKS
Turn the gas supply on and use a liquid
leak detector (soap solution) at all joints and
connections to check for leaks. Do not use an
open flame to look for leaks. Be sure all leaks
are stopped before lighting burners.
PRESSURE TEST INFORMATION
The maximum
allowable supply pressure
for the regulator is 14" W.C. The minimum
supply pressure needed to check the regulator
setting is 7" W.C. for natural gas and 10" W.C.
for LP gas.
AWARNING:
The range and its
individual shut-off valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of the gas supply system at
test pressures of more than 1/2 psig (pounds
per square inch gauge). The range must be
isolated from the gas supply piping system
by closing its individual shut-off valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply system
at test pressures equal to or greater than
1/2 psig. NOTE: 1/2 psig = 13.855" w.c.
[D] CHECK THE IGNITERS
Operation of the electric igniters should be
checked after the cooktop and supply line
have been carefully checked for leaks and the
cooktop has been connected to the electrical
power.
a. Turn on gas.
b. Push and turn a burner valve to the LITE
position.
* The burner valve should light when
gas
is available to the burner.
¢ Once the burner lights, it should be
turned out of the LITE position.
c. Try each valve separately until all burners
have been checked.

[E] BURNER IGNITION
Cooktop Spark Ignition—When you turn
the cooktop knob to LITE, the spark igniter
makes a series of electric sparks (ticking
sounds) which light the burner. During a
power failure the burners will not light
automatically. In an emergency, a cooktop
burner may be lit with a match by following
the steps below.
AWARNING:
Lighting gas burners
with a match is dangerous. You should match
light the cooktop burners only in an
emergency.
a. Light a match and hold the flame near the
burner you want to light. Wooden
matches
work best.
b. Push in and turn the control knob slowly.
Be sure you are turning the correct knob
for the burner you are lighting.
NOTE:
If the burner does not light within
five seconds, turn the knob off and wait
5 minutes before trying again.
[F] BURNER FLAMES
Turn each burner on. Flames should be blue
in color with no trace of yellow. The burner
flames should not flutter or blow away from
the burner. The flame should be no less than
1/4" on the lowest setting and no greater than
1-1/2" on highest setting.
Burners should be checked frequently
AWARNING:
if you attempt
to measure the flame, please use caution.
Burns could result.
