ADJUSTING THE TOP BURNER AND OVEN FLAME
WARNING
Keep appliance area clear and free from combustible materials,
gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids. Do not obstruct
the flow of air that is necessary for combustion and ventilation.
Top Burner Valves
The top burners have orifices that are dedicated to the type of fuel to be used. These
orifices are not adjustable. They must be changed completely to convert from one
gas to the other. DO NOT DISCARD THE UNUSED ORIFICES. They should be saved in
order to convert the range back to its original fuel.
When converting the gas valves, the minimum flame adjustment screw must be
adjusted.
Please see the supplied screwdriver in the conversion kit along with the orifices. The
proper flame size is approximately ¼” obtained. –
see adjustment procedure under
conversions page 19.
The properly adjusted maximum flame is approximately 3/4” high and has three
distinct cones; the kindling point, the dark blue center cone, and the outer mantel.
Cooktop Burner Operation
The top burner flame size should be adjusted so that is does not extend beyond the
edge of the cookware. As a matter of safety, it’s recommended that you comply with
these instructions.
A high flame on a surface burner is both inefficient and
unsafe. The flame should always be adjusted so that it
is no larger than the bottom of the pan. Fluctuations
in flame size could be caused by pressure variations,
improperly positioned burners, damage or debris.
To ignite the burner, depress and turn the valve knob to
the left to the 9 o’clock “position”. When a top burner
knob is pressed in, ALL electrodes will spark at a rate of approximately 2¼ pulses
(sparks) per second. Continue to hold the knob depressed until gas ignites at the
burner. Adjust the intensity of top burner heat in the same manner described above.
NOTE:
In the event the electronic ignition system fails, the top burners and oven
pilot can be lit by holding a lighted match near the burner head and turning the
appropriate top burner knob to the “9 o’clock position”.
