30" GAS SLIDE-IN RANGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
10.5 Operation of Oven Burners and Oven
Adjustments
10.5.1 Electric Ignition 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 igniter, 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 thermostat is
turned ON before the flame appears at the oven burner.
When the oven reaches the display setting, the glowing
igniter will go off. The burner flame will go "out" in 20 to
30 seconds after igniter goes "OFF". To maintain any given
oven temperature, this cycle will continue as long as the
display is set to operate.
After removing all packing materials and literature from the
oven:
a) Set the oven to BAKE at 300°F. See Use & Care 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) If your model is equipped with a high-waist broiler, set
oven to broil. See Use & Care Guide for operating
instructions.
d) Within 60 seconds the broil burner should ignite. Check
for proper flame. Reset controls to off.

disengage front of oven bottom from oven front
frame, and pull the oven bottom out of the oven.
Remove burner baffle so that burner flame can be
observed.
If the flame is yellow, increase air shutter opening size
(see "2" in Figure 12). If the entire flame is blue,
reduce the air shutter opening size.
To adjust frame loosen lock screw (see "3" in Figure
12), reposition air shutter, and tighten lock screw.

10.5.3 Air Shutter-Broil Burner
The approximate flame length of the burner is 1 inch
(distinct inner cone of blue flame). To determine if the broil
burner flame is proper, set the oven to broil. If flame is
yellow, increase air shutter opening size (see "2" in Figure
12 ). If the entire flame is blue, reduce the air shutter
opening size. To adjust, loosen lock screw (see "3" in Figure
12), reposition air shutter, and tighten lock screw.
When All Hookups are Complete
Make sure all controls are left in the OFF position.
Make sure the flow of combustion and ventilation air to
the range is unobstructed.
Model and Serial Number Location
The serial plate is located on the oven front frame
behind the oven door (some models) or on the drawer
side frame (some models).
When ordering parts for or making inquiries about your
range, always be sure to include the model and serial
numbers and a lot number or letter from the serial plate
on your range.
Your serial plate also tells you the rating of the burners,
the type of fuel and the pressure the range was
adjusted for when it left the factory.
