Adjust the Surface Burner Pilots if Necessary
1. Raise the cooktop.
2. Locate the pilot
adjustment screw. It can
be accessed through the
small hole near the center
of the manifold panel.
3. To adjust, use a blade-type screwdriver with
a shaft diameter of less than 3/16
². Turn pilot
adjustment screw until pilot is 5/16² high. Do
not reduce the flame to less than 5/16² or pilot
outage may occur. A pilot flame burning higher
than recommended may generate soot (carbon
black) on the bottom of your cooktop.
Light the Oven Pilot
CAUTION: Make sure the OVEN CONTROL
knob is in the OFF position before attempting to
light the pilot.
1. Remove the broiler drawer by sliding the
drawer all the way out and then lifting slightly to
remove it from its tracks.
2. Locate the pilot at the
back of the broiler
compartment. The pilot
is attached to the left
side of the oven burner.
3. Light the pilot with a
match. No adjustments are
required for natural gas.
If range is connected to
LP gas, contact the
person who installed
your range or
made the conversion.
LIGHT THE PILOTS
(For Models Equipped with Standing Pilots.
If the range is an electric ignition model, the
burners are ignited by electric ignition which
eliminates the need for standing pilot lights.)
The range should be installed in its permanent
position before any pilots are lit or adjusted.
Light the Surface Burner Pilots
CAUTION: Make sure the surface burner
control knobs are in the OFF position before
attempting to light the pilots.
1. Raise the cooktop.
2. Light both pilots with a match.
3. To avoid pilot outage, use caution when
closing cooktop after lighting pilots.
NOTE: Do not leave standing pilot lit in a newly
constructed or remodeled home or apartment
that will be unoccupied for more than a month.
Each pilot flame was adjusted at the factory to be
approximately 5/16² tall. A tinge of yellow
appearing at the upper tip is normal. If you find
pilot adjustment is necessary, follow instructions
at right.
