sign-certified, 4 to 5 ft (122 to 152 .4 cm)
long, ½" (1 .3 cm) or ¾" (1 .9 cm) NPT x
½" (1 .3 cm) I .D., flexible metal appliance
connector may be used for connecting
range to the gas supply line. ½" (1.3 cm)
male pipe thread is needed for connection
to the female pipe threads of the inlet to the
appliance pressure regulator. Do not kink
or damage the flexible metal tubing when
moving the range.
Rigid Pipe Connection:
The rigid pipe connection requires a
combination of pipe fittings to obtain an
in-line connection to the range. The rigid
pipe must be level with the range connec-
tion. Allstrains must be removed from the
supply and fuel lines so range will be level
and in line.
Must Include A Shutoff Valve:
The supply line must be equipped with a
manual shutoff valve. This valve should be
located in the same room but external to the
range opening, such as an adjacent cabinet.
It should be in a location that allows ease of
opening and closing. Do not block access to
the shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on
or shutting off gas to the range.

ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM
Initial Lighting and Gas Flame Adjustments:
• The Cooktop uses electronic igniters in place of standing pilots. When the cooktop
control knob is turned to the “IGNITE” position, the system creates a spark to light the
burner.
• This sparking continues, as long as the control knob is turned to “IGNITE.”
• When the oven control is turned to the desired setting, sparking occurs and ignites the
gas.
• Check Operation of Cooktop Burners.
Check Operation of Cooktop and Oven Burners
Igniting the Standard Surface Burners:
• Push in and turn the control knob to the “IGNITE” position.
• The flame should light within 4 seconds. The first time a burner is lit, it may take longer
than 4 seconds to light because of air in the gas line. Once the burner is lit, turn the knob
to the desired heat setting.
Check Operation of Oven Burner
The oven burner is located beneath the oven, above the Broil drawer. To test the operation
initiate the Bake or Broil function as outlined in page 15 of the User's Manual.
• Ignitors will "click" several times before the flame is ignited.
• A "poof" sound is heard when the oven burner ignites.
• A good flame is blue in color.
If Burners Do Not Light Properly:
• Turn cooktop control knob to the “OFF” position.
• Check that the range is plugged in. Check that the circuit breaker has not tripped or the
household fuse has not blown.
• Check that the gas shutoff valves are set to the “open” position.
• Check that burner caps are properly positioned on burner bases.
• Repeat the steps in the Igniting the Standard Surface Burners section. If a burner does
not light at this point, turnthe control knobs to “Off” and contact your dealer or authorized
service company for assistance.

After installation, Leak testing is to be conducted by the installer according to the instructions
given in this section. Turn on gas. Apply a non-corrosive leak detection fluid to all joints and
fittings in the gas connection beteeen the shutoff valve and the cooktop. Include gas fittings
and joints in the cooktop as the connections may have been loosened during installation.
Bubbles appearing around fittings and connections indicate a leak. An electronic Gas Leak
Detector can also be used. If a leak appears, turn of the supply line gas shutoff valve and
tighted the leaking connections. Retest for leaks by turning on the supply line gas shutoff
valve. When the leak check is complete (no bubble appear), the test is complete. Wipe off
all detection fluid residue.
