Checking for gas leaks

9 WARNING
DO NOT use a flame of any kind to check for gas
leaks.
9 CAUTION
DO NOT spray water solution onto exposed electrical
devices. If solution does drip onto electrical
components, shut the power off before wiping off the
parts.
Gas leak check using a liquid solution
Leak-checking should occur after the orifices are replaced,
and before the appliance is reassembled and tested.
1. Make sure that the orifice has been tightened and that
all valves and controls are in the OFF position.
2. Turn on electric and gas supplies.
3. Spray a generous amount of soap and water
mixture—or other solution designed for checking gas
leaks—on the threaded junction at the base of the
orifice, the elbow fitting, and gas tube compression
nut. (A 25% dishwashing liquid to water mixture is
effective for this.) Avoid spraying electrical devices.
4. Turn the mode knob and the oven temperature knob
to "BROIL" while blocking the broiler orifice hole with
a soft pencil eraser, your finger, or something similar.
• There will be a delay of approximately 45 to 90
seconds as the safety valve coil heats to release
the valve's actuator. A single pop noise can usually
be heard as the broiler's safety valve opens.
5. Monitor the base of the orifice junction, elbow fitting,
and compression nut to see if bubbles are forming
anywhere around the connections.
• Bubbles forming are indications of gas leaks.
6. If appliance leaks, repair all gas leaks immediately.
7. Repeat for the bake burners and applicable STAR
burners.
8. Turn off the gas and electric supplies.

Checking the flame and burner
performance
To observe the burner flames, it may be necessary to turn
off lights or close window blinds to darken the room for
easier viewing of the flame.

To test the STAR burner ignition
1. Push in the burner control knob and turn it to "HI".
• The igniter electrode and spark module will
produce a clicking sound. Once the air has been
purged from the supply lines, the burner should
light within four seconds.
• The flames should be stable, with no excessive
noise. The inner cones of the individual flames
should be defined and separate from each other.
Portions of the flame, along the burner, should not
exhibit excessive or continuous indications of
"lifting" or "lazy flame".
