Safety Valve
Bake Terminals
Broil Terminals
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect from electrical supply before ser-
vicing unit.
Failure to do so could result in electrical
shock or other personal injury.
WARNING
Test Procedure
Refer to page 4-20 for the location of the safety
valve and the procedure for servicing it.
To test a valve, perform the following steps:
1. Use an ohmmeter and set the range switch
to R x 1.
2. With no power applied, disconnect the
wires from the valve terminals. You should
obtain readings on both the bake and broil
terminals of less than 1
Ω ±
20%.
If the reading is not within the range shown,
the safety valve is defective and should be re-
placed.

Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect from electrical supply before ser-
vicing unit.
Failure to do so could result in electrical
shock or other personal injury.
WARNING
Test Procedure
Refer to page 4-20 for the location of the pres-
sure regulator and the procedure for servicing
it.
The pressure regulator must be checked at a
minimum of 1-inch water column above the set
pressure. If the readings are not within the
range shown, the regulator is defective and
should be replaced. The inlet pressure to the
regulator should be as follows for operation:
Natural Gas
—Set the pressure @ 5-inches,
maximum pressure = 14-inches.
L.P. Gas
—Set the pressure @ 11-inches, maxi-
mum pressure = 14-inches.
Line Pressure Test above 1/2 lb psi (gauge):
The range and its individual shutoff valve must
be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing at test pres-
sures greater than 1/2
psig (3.5 kPa).
Line Pressure Test @ 1/2 lb psi (gauge):
The range and its individual shutoff valve must
be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing at test pres-
sures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
