Checking Manifold Gas Pressure
If it should be necessary to check the manifold gas pressure, remove the
burner and connect a manometer (water gauge) or other pressure device
to the top right front burner orifice. Using a rubber hose with inside diameter
of approximately 1/4," hold tubing down tight over orifice. Turn burner
valve on. For an accurate pressure check, have at least two (2) other
surface burners burning. Be sure the gas supply (inlet) pressure is at least
one inch above specified range manifold pressure. The gas supply
pressure should never be over 14" water column. When properly adjusted
the manifold water column pressure is 10" for LP/Propane gas or 4" for
Natural gas.
__qJ_ Do not flame to check for leaks.
use a gas
a. Disconnect the range and its individual shut-off valve from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at
test pressures greater than 14" of water column pressure
(approximately 1/2" psig).
b. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system
by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or
less than 14" of water column pressure (approximately 1/2" psig).

Test to verify if "LOW" setting should be adjusted:
a. Push in and turn control to LITE until burner ignites.
b. Push in and quickly turn knob to LOWEST POSITION.
c. If burner goes out, reset control to OFF.
d. Remove the surface burner control knob.
e. Insert a thin-bladed screwdriver into the hollow valve stem and
engage the slotted screw inside. Flame size can be increased or
decreased with the turn of the screw. Turn counterclockwise to
increase flame size. Turn clockwise to decrease flame size. (See
Figures 9 and 10).
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.

7. Air Shutter-Oven Burner
The air shutter for the oven burner may need adjustment, especially if the
unit has been converted for use with LP/Propane gas. The approximate
flame length of the oven burner is 1 inch (distinct inner, blue flame) (See
Figure 11). 1" Flame Burner

To determine if the oven burner flame is proper:
a. To access the air shutter you must remove the warmer drawer, see
instructions on page 9.
b. Remove the oven bottom by removing the screws at rear of oven
bottom. Lift up the rear of oven bottom and slide toward back of range
to disengage from front of oven front frame.
c. Remove burner baffle by removing nut located on top of baffle and
two screws from front edge of oven front frame. Lift baffle straight
up and out of the oven.
d. Set the oven to bake at 350°F and observe the flame. If the flame is
yellow in color, increase air shutter opening size. If the flame is a
distinct blue color, but lifting away from the burner; reduce the air
shutter opening size.
e. Turn off oven and allow to cool before adjusting air shutter. To adjust
loosen lock-screw (See Figure 12), reposition air shutter, and tighten
lock-screw.

a. Observe the flame to determine ifthe broiler burner flame is properly
adjusted. It should be steady with approximately 1" blue cones and
no yellow or orange flame tips (See Figure 13).
b. If adjustment to the air shutter is necessary, locate the broiler burner
air shutter (See figure 14), loosen shutter lock screw, and adjust to
obtain optimum flame. This will normally be completely open for LP/
Propane gas. If the flame is yellow in color, increase the air shutter
opening size. If the flame is a distinct blue, but lifting away from the
burner, reduce the air shutter opening size. Tighten the shutter set
screw.
