Electronic Ignition System.
Initial lighting and gas flame adjustments.
Cooktop and oven burners use electronic
ignitors in place of standing pilots. When
the cooktop control knob is turned to the
“LlTE” position, the system creates a spark
to light the burner. This sparking continues
until the control knob is turned to the
desired setting.
If oven control is turned to desired setting
and sparks, the sparking will continue until
oven pilot ignites: then the sparking stops
automatically.

Place rack in oven. Place
level on rack, first side to side;
then front to back. If range is not level, pull
the range forward until the rear leveling leg
is removed from bracket. Adjust the legs up
or down until the range is level. Push range
back into position. Check that range leveling
leg is engaged in bracket.

baking conditions.
If oven control is turned to a desired setting
and a glow bar heats to bright orange, the
gas will ignite. No sparking occurs and
glow bar will remain on while the burners
operate.

After burner lights, turn control knob to
“HI” position. Check each cooktop burner
for proper flame. The small inner cone

Assemble the flexible connector from the
gas supply pipe to the pressure regulator in
this order: manual shutoff valve, l/2’ nipple,
l/2’ adapter, flexible connector, l/2’ adapter,
and l/2” nipple.
Carefully move range into final position.
Open storage drawer to the stop position.
Pull up on the levers located in the tracks on
the sides of the drawer. Pull the storage
drawer away from the range. Set the drawer
on a protected surface.
If burners need adjusting for proper flame,
remove burner grates and carefully lift up
and lift off the maintop. Adjust the air
shutter to the widest opening that will
produce a sharp blue flame that does not lift
or blow off of the burner. Repeat as
necessary with each burner.
The low burner flame can be adjusted by
turning the adjustment screw in the center
of the valve stem until a minimum steady
blue flame is produced. Turn the burner
from high to low several times to be sure
the flame does not go out.
Reinstall maintop and burner grates.

shutoff valve
Pipe-joint compound made for use with
L.P. gas must be used to seal all gas
connections. Check that the shutoff valve is
open between the regulator and gas valves.
If flexible connectors are used, be certain
connectors are not kinked.

Look under range
(a flashlight may
be needed) to check
that the rear leveling leg is engaged in
the anti-tip bracket. If leveling leg is not
properly engaged, remove and reposition
the bracket to insure that the leveling leg
fits properly in the bracket.
Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply
line. Wait a few minutes for gas to move
through the gas line.
Do Not use an open flame to test for
leaks from gas connections.
Checking for leaks with a flame may
result in a fire or explosion.

Check the operation of the oven burner.
Remove oven racks and oven bottom.
Turn the oven selector knob to ‘BAKE’. Push
in and turn oven control knob to 300” F.
The oven burner should light in SO-60
seconds. This delay is normal. The oven
safety valve requires a certain time before it
will open and allow gas to flow.
If installing the range in a mobile home,
you MUST secure the range to the floor.
Any method of securing the range to the
floor is adequate as long as it conforms to
the standards listed in the Mobile home
installation instructions, Panel A.

.
Use a brush and liquid detergent to test all
gas connections for leaks. Bubbles around
connections will indicate a leak. If a leak
appears, shut off gas valve controls and
adjust connections. Then check connec-
tions again. NEVER TEST FOR GAS LEAKS
WITH A MATCH OR OTHER FLAXIIE.
Clean all detergent solution from range.
Product Damage
Do Not insert any object into the
openings of the protective shield that
surrounds the ignitor.
Do Not clean the area.
