TEST AND ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING :
For warranty coverage, DCS requires that burner adjustments be made by a qualified
technician at the time of installation. Extreme care should be used when adjustments
are made after installation. IMPROPER OR LACK OF ADJUSTMENT WILL VOID YOUR
WARRANTY.
COOKTOP BURNERS
The cooktop burners are not adjustable. Proper operation is achieved when the
correct orifices for gas supply are installed at the factory, based on model ordered.
When installing the burner port ring, be sure that the two locating pins in the
bottom side of the brass port ring are properly aligned with the locating notch
and center holes on the top side of the simmer ring. Incorrect alignment will
produce a potentially dangerous flame and poor burner performance.
Note:
No air shutter adjustment is possible on the cooktop burners. Burner flames
should be blue and stable with no yellow-tipping (some yellow-tipping is normal
with LP gas), excessive noise, or lifting of flame from the burner (Fig. 18).
COOKTOP BURNER LIGHTING NOTE:
The sealed cooktop burners have an infinite number of heat settings and there are
no fixed positions on the control knobs between HI and LO. To turn the sealed
cooktop burner on, push in on the control knob and turn it counterclockwise to the
“LITE” position. An audible clicking sound will be heard. When the gas has been
ignited by the electronic spark igniter, turn the knob to the desired setting (Fig. 19).
Note:
The igniter will continue to click until a flame is present. If the cooktop burner does not
ignite, check the spark igniter by listening for a clicking sound. If you do not hear the
igniter click, turn off the burner. Check for a tripped circuit breaker, blown fuse, or poor wire connection to the
igniter.
WARNING:
When turning on any sealed cooktop burner, be sure to stop at the “LITE” position before turning the burner to a
flame setting for cooking. If the burner is not lit and it is turned beyond the “LITE” position,
to HI, MEDIUM, or LO, there will be a burst of flame when the burner does light. This could
cause burns or damage to the surrounding countertop.
INFRARED BROIL AND OVEN BURNERS
CAUTION:
The oven infrared broiler burner has no air shutter and is not adjustable. The oven bake
burner has an air shutter and is adjustable. It is necessary to operate the oven broiler for
20-30 minutes to eliminate the harsh odor of the insulation binder (see page 8 of the Use
and Care Manual). This must be done before using the range for the first time and with
proper ventilation.
Check for the proper burner flame characteristics. Burner flames should be blue
and stable with no yellow tips, excessive noise or lifting of the flame from the
burner. If any of these conditions exist, check that the air shutter (oven burner
only)(Fig. 20) or burner ports are not blocked. If this condition persists, contact
a qualified technician.
The oven burner flames should be 1-1/2" to 2" (Fig. 21). The infrared broil burner
flames should be approximately 1/8” high over the entire burner screen (Fig. 22).
