Once the burner lights, it should be turned to another position.
• · Test each valve separately until all burners have been checked.
E. Burner ignition. Cooktop Spark Ignition—When you turn the cooktop knob to LITE, the spark igniter
makes a series of electric sparks (ticking sounds) which light the burner. During a power failure, the
burners will not light automatically. In an emergency, a cooktop burner may be lit with a match by
following the steps below.
• Light a match and hold the flame near the burner you want to light. Wooden
matches work best.
• Push in and turn the control knob slowly. Be sure you are turning the correct knob for the burner
you are lighting.
F. Turn on each burner. On LP models, flames should be blue in color but may have yellow tips.
Natural gas models should have soft, blue flames. The burner flames should not flutter or blow away
from the burner. The flame should be no less than 1/4” on the lowest setting and no greater than 1-1/2”
on highest setting.

Rangaire: Installation Manual
OPERATION
ADJUST BURNER FLAMES
A. Turn all burners on highest setting and check the flames. They should be blue in color and may have
some yellow tipping at the ends of the flame when using LP gas. Foreign particles in the gas line may
cause an orange flame at first, but this will soon disappear.
B. Turn the cooktop burner knob to “LO” while observing the flame. Adjust the setting of the upper
row of flames using the valve bypass screw as follows: Adjustments must be made with two other
burners in operation on a medium setting. This prevents the upper row of flames from being set too
low, resulting in the flame being extinguished when other burners are turned on
C. To adjust the flame, remove the knobs. Insert a screwdriver through the access hole in valve shaft
as shown
• If the flames were too small or fluttered, open the valve more than the original setting.
• If the flames blew away from the burner, close the valve more than the original setting.
D. Make the adjustment by slowly turning the screw
until flame appearance is correct Testing Flame
Stability: Test 1— Turn the knob from “HI” to “LO”
quickly. If the upper row of flames goes out at this
setting, increase the flame size and test again.
E. Test 2— With the burner on “LO”, open and close
the cabinet door under the cooktop. If the flame
is extinguished by the air currents created by the
door movement, increase the flame height and test
again
F. Flame Recheck: After the adjustment is made,
turn all burners off. Ignite each burner individually.
Observe the flame at the “HI” position. Rotate the
knob to the lowest setting and be sure that the
flame size decreases as the knob is rotated counterclockwise
Once the conversion is complete and checked ok, fill out the conversion sticker and include your
name, organization and date conversion was made. Apply the sticker near the cooktop gas inlet
opening to alert others in the future that this appliance has been converted. If converting back to the
original gas, please remove the sticker so others know the appliance is set to use its original gas.
