Typical rigid pipe connection
A combination of pipe fittings must be used to connect the range
to the existing gas line. Your connections may be different,
according to the supply line type, size and location.
1.
Apply pipe-joint compound made for use with LP gas to all
pipe thread connections.
2.
Using a pipe wrench to tighten, connect the gas supply to the
range.
Typical flexible connection
1.
Apply pipe-joint compound made for use with LP gas to the
smaller thread ends of the flexible connector adapters (see C
and G in the following illustration).
2.
Attach one adapter to the gas pressure regulator and the
other adapter to the gas shutoff valve. Tighten both adapters.
3.
Use a
¹⁵⁄₁₆
" combination wrench and channel lock pliers to
attach the flexible connector to the adapters. Check that
connector is not kinked.
Complete Connection
1.
Open the manual shutoff valve in the gas supply line. The
valve is open when the handle is parallel to the gas pipe.
2.
Test all connections by brushing on an approved
noncorrosive leak-detection solution. If bubbles appear, a
leak is indicated. Correct any leak found.
3.
Remove cooktop burner caps and grates from parts
package. Align notches in burner caps with pins in burner
base. Burner caps should be level when properly positioned.
If burner caps are not properly positioned, surface burners
will not light. Place burner grates over burner and caps.
4.
Plug in range or reconnect power. For further information,
please refer to the user instructions located in the Use and
Care Guide.
5.
Push range back into its final location. Check that the anti-tip
brackets are engaged.
Electronic Ignition System
Light a Surface Burner
Push in and turn cooktop control knob to the “LITE” position. A
spark will automatically light the burner.
Check Operation of Surface Burners
Push in and turn the surface burners control knobs to the “LITE”
position.
The surface burner flame should light within 4 seconds. The first
time a surface burner is lighted it may take longer than 4 seconds
to light because of air in the gas line.
Check the flame on “HI” for a blue color. It should be clean and
soft in character. No yellow tip, blowing or lifting of flame should
occur. Occasional orange flashes are normal and reflect different
elements in the air or gas.
After verifying the proper burner operation, turn the control knobs
to “OFF.”
If burners do not light properly:
■
Turn surface burner control knob to the “OFF” position.
■
Check that the power supply cord is plugged in and the
circuit breaker has not tripped or the fuse blown.
■
Check that the gas shutoff valves are set to the “open”
position.
■
Check that burner caps are properly positioned on burner
bases.
Recheck operation of surface burners. If a burner does not light
at this point, contact your dealer or authorized service company
for assistance.
