GETTING TO KNOW YOUR COOKTOP
LO flame adjustment
This appliance has been shipped from the
factory with LO and MED flame settings
adjusted for use with natural gas and
average installations. There is a wide variety
of conditions caused by altitude and gas
mixtures controlled by utility companies
which will vary and affect the gas flame and
performance. Adjustments should be made
at time of installation. If conditions change,
follow the procedures outlined below to
adjust the LO setting.
1. Light the burner and set the control knob
for a low flame.
2. Remove the control knob from the valve
stem.
IMPORTANT: Never use a metal blade to
pry the knob off. If you cannot easily
remove the knob tuck the folds of a cloth
dishtowel under the knob skirt and pull
the towel upward with steady, even
pressure.
3. Insert a slender, thin-blade screwdriver
into the recess at the center of the valve
stem and insert the blade in the slot of the
adjusting screw.

5. Replace the control knob when you have
completed the adjustment.
Proper adjustment will produce a stable,
steady blue flame of minimum size. The final
adjustment should be checked by turning the
knob from HI to LO several times without
extinguishing the flame. This adjustment, at
the LO setting, will automatically provide the
proper flame size at the MED setting.
