7. Air adjustment
The air shutter (adjustment) for each of the four top
burners is located at the open end of the venturi tube and
sets on the hood of the valve.
Should the air shutter need adjusting, rotate the air shutter
to allow more or less air into the burner tubes as needed.
Air/
Adjustment
If the air is properly adjusted, the flame will be steady,
relatively quiet, and have approximately 1/2" sharp blue
cone. (Usually about the center of air shutter's ajustment.)
If the flame is yellow in color, increase air shutter opening
size. If the flame is a distinct blue, but lifting away from the
burner, reduce the air shutter opening size.

Burners
Operation of electric igniters should be checked after range
and supply line connectors have been carefully checked for
leaks and range has been connected to electric power.
The oven burner is equipped
with an electric control system
as well as an electric
oven burner igniter. If your model
is
equipped
with a waist-high
broil burner, it will also have an
electric
burner igniter. These control systems require no
adjustment.
When the oven is set to operate,
current will
flow to the igniter. It will 'glow"
similar to a light bulb.
When the igniter has reached a temperature
sufficient
to
ignite gas, the electrically
controlled oven valve will open
and flame will appear at the oven burner. There is a time
lapse from 30 to 60 seconds after the thermostat
is turned
ON before the flame appears at the oven burner. When the
oven reaches the dial setting, the glowing
igniter will go
off. The burner flame will go "out' in 20 to 30 seconds after
the
igniter
goes "OFF." To maintain
any given
oven
temperature,
this cycle will continue as long as the dial (or
display) is set to operate.
After removing all packing materials and literature from
the oven:
a) Set oven to BAKE at 300°F. See Owner's Guide for
operating instructions.
b) Within 60 seconds the oven burner should ignite.
Check for proper flame, and allow the burner to cycle
once. Reset controls to off.
c)
Ifyour model is equipped with a waist-high broiler, set
oven to BROIL. See Owner's Guide for operating
instructions.
d) Within 60 seconds the broil burner should ignite.
Check for proper flame. Reset controls to off.
a)
Turn control
to LITE until burner
ignites.
b)
_
turn knob to LOWEST POSITION.
c)
If burner goes out, readjust valve as follows:
Reset control
to OFF. Remove the surface
burner
control
knob,
insert
a thin-bladed
screw driver
into
the hollow
valve stem and engage the slotted
screw inside. Flame size
can be increased
or decreased
with the turn of the screw.
Adjust
flame
until you can quickly turn knob from LITE to
LOWEST POSITION without
extinguishing
the flame. Flame
should
be as small as possible
without
going
out.
