The cooktop LOW burner flame should be a steady
blue flame approximately 1/4" (0.64 cm) high. It
can be adjusted using the adjustment screw in the
center of the valve stem. The valve stem is located
directly underneath the control knob.
If the LOW flame needs to be adjusted:
a. Remove the control knob.
b. Hold the knob stem with a pair of pliers. Use
a small flat-head screwdriver to
turn the screw located in the
center of the control knob stem
until the flame is the proper
size.
c. Replace the control
knob.
d. Test the flame by
turning the control from
“LO” to “HI”, checking the
flame at each setting.
Push “CANCEL/OFF” pad. Insert oven
bottom tabs into slots in oven burner
area. Check that tabs are correctly
placed in slots. If the oven bottom is not positioned
properly, poor baking performance could occur.
Replace oven racks.

Remove vent cap, cooktop burner caps
and grates from parts package. Align
notches in burner caps with pins in
burner base. Burner caps should be level when
properly positioned. Place burner grates over
burners and caps. Place vent cap over vent dome.
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
“8888” should appear in clock display.
Electronic Ignition System —
Initial lighting and gas flame adjustments.
Cooktop and oven burners use electronic ignitors
in place of standing pilots. When the cooktop
control knob is turned to the “LITE” position, the
system creates a spark to light the burner. This
sparking continues as long as the control knob is
turned to “LITE”.
When the oven control is turned to the desired
setting, a glow bar heats up bright orange and
ignites the gas. No sparking occurs and the glow
bar remains on while the burners operate.
Check the
operation of
the cooktop
burners. Push in and
turn each control knob
to the “LITE” position.
The flame should light
within 4 seconds. The
first time a burner is
lighted it may take
longer than 4 seconds
to light because of air in
gas line.
If burners do not light properly, turn cooktop control
knob to the “OFF” position. Check that the power
supply cord is plugged in and the circuit breaker or
fuse has not blown. Check that the gas shutoff
valves are set to the “OPEN” position. Repeat Step
22. If a burner does not light at this point, contact
your KitchenAid dealer or authorized service
company for assistance.
Check the operation of the oven
burner. Push the “BAKE” pad and
“350˚F” will appear in the temperature
display. Press the “Start” pad. “LO” will appear in
the display; then “170˚F.” The oven burner should
light in 50 to 60 seconds. This delay is normal. The
oven safety valve requires a certain time before it
will open and allow gas to flow.
Electric ignitors are used to light the oven and broil
burners.
Do not insert any object into the opening of the
protective shield that surrounds the ignitor.
Do not clean the area.
Check the oven burner for proper flame.
This flame should have a 1/2" (1.3 cm)
long inner cone of bluish-green, with an
outer mantle of dark blue, and should be clean and
soft in character. No yellow tips, blowing or lifting of
flame should occur.
Remove the oven rack. Remove the
oven bottom and place it on a protected
surface.

Check the operation of the
oven broil burner. Close the oven door.
Press the “BROIL” pad. “500˚F” will
appear in the temperature display. Press the “Start”
pad. The oven broil burner should light in 50 to 60
seconds. This delay is normal. The oven safety
valve requires a certain time before it will open and
allow gas to flow. The first time broil burner is
lighted, it may take longer to light because of air in
gas line. The first few times burner is used sparks
may appear. This is normal.
NOTE:
Oven door must be shut for broil burner to
operate.
Look through oven window to check
broil burner for proper flame. The flame
should have a uniform, light blue
appearance around the burner surface. No yellow
tips, blowing or lifting of the flame should occur.
NOTE:
The first few times the broil burner is used,
yellow sparks may appear in the flame. This is
normal and will stop after burner has been used a
few times.
Press the “CANCEL/OFF” pad. If the
broil burner flame needs adjustment,
contact your KitchenAid dealer or
authorized service company for assistance.
