Testing Your Range; Cooktop Burners - Whirlpool LWFR3100 Instructivo De Instalación, Uso Y Manejo

Testing your Range

Once the range has been installed, it's necessary to test the correct installation of the gas and
power supply. For this, place the range on its final location and turn on the cooktop burners and
the oven.

Cooktop burners

Depending on the model of your range, the appliance may have 1 step or 2 step electronic
ignition. Follow this sequence to test the electronic ignition:
Ranges with 2 step electronic ignition:
If your range has the electronic ignition button: press and hold the button with the image next to
the cooktop controls to the Hi position (maximum flame). See the following image.
You will hear a click, this is the spark's noise, it will light up the flame, once it is on, release the
button.
The spark will ignite and the flame will be on the Hi setting (maximum). Once the burner is lighted,
set the knob on the desired position. The same procedure can be followed to light up the other
burners.
If for any burner the flame doesn't light up after 5 seconds or you can't hear the click of the
spark, follow these steps:
Turn the knob back to the OFF position (release the electronic
ignition button if your range is equipped with this button).
b) Make sure the range is connected to the power supply. The
electronic ignition system won't work if the range is
unplugged.
c) Make sure the gas supply line is open (tank or shutoff
valve). Check the gas lines are not kinked, bended or
damaged.
d) Repeat steps 1 or 2 depending the cause of the failure.
Even when the power is down, the burners can still be lighted up. For this case, follow these
steps:
1. Light up a match and hold it close from the burner that you want to use.
2. Turn the knob to the Hi position (maximum flame), the flame should light up.
Oven burner
