ConveAHngto LP Gas (continued)
Check for Leaks
When all connections
have been made, make sure all
range controls
are in the off position
and turn on the
main
gas supply
valve.
Use a liquid
leak detector
at all joints and connections
to check for leaks in the
system.
I CAUTtON:
DO NOT USE A FLAME
TO CHECK

FOR GAS LEAKS.

When
using test pressures
greater
than
1/2 psig to
pressure
test the gas supply system
of the residence,
disconnect
the
range
and individual
shut-off
valve
from the gas supply
piping.
When
using
test pres-
sures
of 1/2 psig or less to test the gas supply
sys-
tem,
simply
isolate
the range
from
the gas supply
system
by closing the individual

a small
flat
blade
screwdriver,
turn
the

clock-
wise
to decrease
flame
size, counterclockwise
to
increase
flame
size.
Adjust
until
the flame
is
about the same height as
the top of the burner.
4. Replace
the knobs.
5. Check for flame outage
by opening
and closing the
oven

Adjust The Surface Burner Piiots
:,
(for mode s equ pped w th Standing
Pilots):: :;
1. Raise the cooktop.
2. Locate the pilot
adjustment
screw. It can
i
be accessed
through
the
small hole near the center of

Do not reduce
the flame to less than 5/I6"
(8 mm)
or pilot outage
may occur.
A pilot flame
burning
higher than recommended
may generate
soot (car-
bon black) on the bottom
of your cooktop.
Check Quality of Flames
The combustion
quality of burner flames
needs to be
determined
visually.
(A) Yellow
flames--
Call for service
(B) Yellow
tips on outer
conesmNormal
for
LP gas
(C) Soft blue flames--
Normal for natural gas
If burner flames
look like (A), call for service:
Normal
burner flames
should
look like (B) or (C), depending
on the type of gas you use,
With LP gas, some yellow tipping
on outer cones
is
normal.
