GE Appliances Service Handbook Gas Ranges 1983 & Later Models PREFACE This Handbook contains information and service procedures to assist the service technician in correcting conditions that are not always obvious. Ser- vice procedures considered obvious are intentionally omitted. Using the information in this Handbook in conjunction with mini-manual, which is included with the appliance (self clean models only) will provide comprehensive information on your model. Non-self clean gas range products do not have mini-manuals, but equivalent information on gas adjustments, electrical wiring schematics, diagnosis, and service procedures as included in this Handbook. Range wiring and schematic diagram is supplied with user information for all gas ranges. © GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY 1989 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Page 1 IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE Major appliances are complex electromechanical devices. General Electric Company's Major Appliance Service Publications are intended for use by individuals possessing adequate backgrounds of electrical, electronic and mechanical experience. Any attempt to repair a major appliance may result in personal injury and property damage. General Electric Company cannot be responsible for the interpretation of its service publications, nor can 1t assume any liability in connection with their use. SAFE SERVICING PRACTICES To preclude the possibility of resultant personal injury *and/or property damage, **it is important that safe servicing practices be observed. The following are examples, but without limitation, of such safe practices. 1. Before servicing, always disconnect the product from its electrical power source by removing the product'’s electrical plug from the wall receptacle, or by removing the fuse (or tripping the circuit breaker to OFF) in the branch circuit serving the product. NOTE: If a specific diagnostic check requires electrical power be applied (e.g., a voltage or amperage measurement, etc), reconnect electrical power only for the time required for such a check, and disconnect it immediately thereafter. During any such check, ensure no other conductive parts (pans, etc) — or yourself — come in contact with exposed current-carrying metal parts. 2. Never interfere with or bypass the proper operation of any feature, part or device engineered into the product. 3. If a replacement part is required, use the specified General Electric Company part, or an equivalent which will provide comparable performance. 4. Prior to reconnecting the electrical power source to the appliance, be sure that: a) all electrical connections within the product are correctly and securely connected, b) all electrical harness leads are properly dressed and secured away from sharp edges, high-temperature components (e.g. resistors, heaters, etc.) and moving parts, ¢) any uninsulated current-carrying metal parts are secure and adequately spaced from all non-current-carrying metal parts, d) all electrical grounds — both internal and external to the product — are correctly and securely connected, Page 2 mip mgm, e) all gas connections are properly tightened. f) all panels and covers are properly and securely reassembled. 5. Read the SAFETY PRACTICES section in this Book for additional SAFE SERVICING PRACTICES. 3. Don't attempt a product repair if you have any doubts as to your ability to complete it in a safe and satisfactory manner. PERSONAL INJURY, in the form of electrical shock, burns, cuts or abrasions, etc., can occur spontaneously to the individual while attempting to repair or service the product; or may occur at a later time to any individual in the household who may come in contact with the product — unless safe servicing practices are observed. **PROPERTY DAMAGE, resulting from fire, smoke, etc, can occur immediately or at a later time as a result of attempting to repair or service the product — unless safe servicing practices are observed.

Page B-4 CONTINUOUS CLEAN OVEN CARE The inside of the oven — usually the top, back and sides — are finished with a special coating which cannot be cleaned in the usual manner with soap, detergents, steel wool pads, commercial oven cleaners, coarse abrasive pads or coarse brushes. Their use and/or the use of oven sprays will cause permanent damage. Note: On some models, the inside of the door may also have the coating. The special coating is a porous ceramic material which is dark in color and feels slightly rough to the touch. If magnified, the surface would appear as peaks, valleys, and sub- surface “tunnels.” This rough finish tends to prevent grease spatters from forming little beads or droplets which run down the side walls of a hard- surface oven liner leaving unsightly streaks that require hand cleaning. Instead, when spatter hits the porous finish it is dispersed and is partially absorbed. This spreading action increases the exposure of oven soil to heated air, and makes it somewhat less noticeable. Soil may not disappear completely and at some time after extended usage, stains may appear which cannot be removed. The special coating works best on small amounts of spatter. It does not work well with larger spills, especially sugars, egg or dairy mixtures. The special coating is not used on oven shelves. Shelves should be cleaned outside the oven to avoid Jamage to the special coating inside ‘he oven. GENERAL To Clean the Continuous — Cleaning Oven: 1. Let range parts cool before handling. It is recommended that rubber gloves be worn when cleaning range parts. 2. Remove shelves and cookware. 3. Soil visibility may be reduced by operating the oven at 400*F. Close the door and turn OVEN TEMP knob to 400°F. Time for at least 4 hours. Repeated cycles may be necessary before improvement in appearance is apparent. REMEMBER: DURING THE OPERA- TION OF THE OVEN, THE DOOR, WINDOW AND OTHER RANGE SURFACES WILL GET HOT ENOUGH TO CAUSE BURNS. DO NOT TOUCH. LET THE RANGE COOL BEFORE REPLACING OVEN SHELVES. 4. If a spillover or heavy soiling occurs on the porous surface, as soon as the oven has cooled, remove as much of the soil as possible using a small amount of water and a stiff bristle nylon brush. Use water sparingly and change it frequently, keeping it as clean as possible, and be sure to blot it up with paper towels, cloths, or sponges. Do not rub or scrub with paper towels, cloths or sponges, since they will leave unsightly lint on the oven finish. If water leaves a white ring on the finish as it dries, apply water again and blot it with a clean sponge, starting at the edge of the ring and working toward the center. Do not use soap, detergent, steel wool pads, commercial oven cleaner, silicone oven sprays, coarse pads or coarse brushes on the porous surface. These products will spot, clog, and Page B-5 GENERAL Enamelware: Under some con- ditions, the enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow cookware manufacturer's recommendations for cooking methods. mar the porous surface and reduce its ability to work. Do not scrape the porous surface with a knife or spatula — they could permanently damage it. RATING PLATE The rating plate is located under the lift-up cooktop, or on the front frame behind broiler drawer. In addition to model number, and serial number, the rating plate contains information regarding ... burner BTU ratings, electrical rating, gas setting as left factory, gas conversion, and mini- mum horizontal clearance to vertical combustable surface. MINI-MANUAL Most self clean ranges contain a mini-manual. Non-self clean ranges do not have mini-manuals. Location of mini-manual: e Gas manual — behind lower false panel or drawer e Microwave (Hi/Low) — In MW Con- trol Compartment TOP-OF-RANGE COOKWARE Aluminum: Medium-weight cook- ware is recommended because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an aluminum skillet. Minerals in food and water will stain but will not harm aluminum. A quick scour with a soap-filled wool pad after each use keeps aluminum cook- ware looking shiny new. Use sauce- pans with tight-fitting lids for cooking with minimum amounts of water. Cast Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give satisfactory results. Paye B-6 Glass: There are two types of glass cookware — those for oven use only and those for top-of-range cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat very slowly. Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or oven cook- ing. It conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer's directions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges. Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating properties, and is usually combined with copper, aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution. Com- bination metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if they are used with medium heat as the manufacturer recommends. BAKING PERFORMANCE To insure good baking performance a gas oven should be preheated at least 15 minutes at the cooking temperature before placing food in the oven. e Preheating is very important when usingtemperatures below 225” F. and when baking foods such as, biscuits, cookies, cakes and other pastries. e Preheating is not necessary when roasting or for long-time cooking of whole meals. IMPORTANT - Two of the most common customer education types of baking complaints are: 1. Oven Temperature too low. 2. Takes too long to get oven up to temperature. Both problems can usually be corrected by preheating oven for 15 minutes. Common Baking Problems and possible Solutions Pies Burning around edges ¢ Oven too full; avoid overcrowding. e Edges of crust too thin. e Incorrect baking temperature. Bottom crust soggy and unbaked e Allow crust and/or filling to cool sufficiently before filling pie shell. e Filling may be to thin or juicy. e Filling allowed to stand in pie shell before baking. (Fill pie shells and bake immediately.) e Ingredients and proper measuring affect the quality of the crust. Use a tested recipe and good technique. Make sure there are no tiny holes or tears in a bottom crust. “Patching” a pie crust could cause soaking. Pie filling runs over e Top and bottom crust not well sealed together. e Edges of pie crust not built up high enough. e Too much filling. e Check size of pie plate. Pastry is tough; crust not flaky. ¢ Too much handling. e Fat too soft or cut in too fine. Roll dough lightly and handle as little as possible. CAKES Cake rises higher on one side GENERAL e Batter spread unevenly in pan. e Oven shelves not level. e Using warped pans. “® Incorrect pan size. Cakes cracking on top e Check oven temperature. e Batter too thick, follow recipe or exact package directions. ® Check for proper shelf position. e Check pan size called for in recipe. ® Improper mixing of cake. Cake falls e Too much shortening, sugar or liquid. ¢ Check leavening agent, baking pow- der or baking soda to assure fresh- ness. Make a habit to note expira- tion dates of packaged ingredients. e Cake not baked long enough or at correct temperature. e If adding oil to a cake mix, make certain the oil is the type and amount specified. Crust is hard e Check temperature e Check shelf position. Cake has soggy layer or streaks at bottom. e Undermixing ingredients. e Shortening too soft for proper creaming. * Too much liquid. COOKIES & BISCUITS Doughy center; heavy crust on surface e Check temperature e Check shelf position. e Follow baking instructions carefully as given in reliable recipe or on convenience food package. e Flat cookie sheets will give more even baking results. Don't overcrowd foods on a baking sheet. Page B-7 GENERAL e Convenience foods used beyond their expiration date. Browning more noticeable on one side * Oven door not closed properly, check gasket seal. ® Check shelf position. REMOVEABLE OVEN DOORS The oven door is user removable on all range models except for 20" apartment size, and the top oven door of Hi-Low ranges. On some models the doors are fastened to the hinge supports by two screws on the inside door panel at the bottom. Other models have no screws and the door just lifts off. To Remove Screw Mounted Door: 1. Open door fully and remove the two screws. 2. Close door to stop position (about 3 inches open) 3. Lift door straight up and off the hinges. WE J REMOVE + \ Page B-8 To Remove Door Without Screws: 1. Open door to stop position (about 3 inches open) 2. Lift door straight up and off the hinges Note: Care should be taken not to place hands between the spring hinge and the oven door frame as the hinge could snap back and pinch fingers. To replace the door, make sure the hinges are in the “out” position. Position the slots in the bottom of the door squarely over the hinges. Then lower the door slowly and evenly over both hinges at the same time. If hinges snap back against the oven frame, pull them back out. Replace screws on models so equipped. | (Art No. WB1622) Oven Door Height Adjustment - Tappan “J” Models Repeated openings and closings can cause the oven door to work itself out of adjustment. One side may close higher than the other, and the door may not seal properly. To adjust the height of the door: 1. Remove the door. 2. With a thin-bladed screwdriver, turn the screw in the opening at the top of each door hinge. Turn clock- wise to lower, counterclockwise to raise each side of the door. 3. Replace the door, close it, and check alignment and door seal. REMOVABLE OVEN BOTTOMS The oven bottom can be removed for cleaning, and for service access to the lower oven burner. The method for removal varies by model type. (Art No. WB1622) GENERAL Listed below are various types of oven bottoms by basic model prefix and model year designator: Model Prefix Year JGAS K RGA 5 K (Magic chef 20”) REAR TABS \ Г / FRONT TABS To Remove: Loosen two front screws (do not remove), and slide screws to rear to release front tabs. Lift front and pull forward to release rear tabs. To Replace: Insert rear tabs first, and lower front into place — slide screws forward and tighten. Note: If not replaced correctly, it may warp and affect baking.

Then pull it forward and out of the oven. To replace: Place oven bottom into oven with rear edge lifted high enough to allow the metal brace on the underside of the oven bottom to drop behind the oven front frame. Then gently lower the rear of the oven bottom into place. Note: if front lip is not installed under lip of front frame, the oven door will not close completely, and will cause “hottrim” and “hot knob” problems. Page B-10 1. To remove: Remove the two knurled hold-down screws at each front corner. If screws are too tight to remove by hand, use a screwdriver. / и / N LES 2. Place your fingers in the slots in the bottom an lift up the front edge of the oven bottom until it is clear of the oven front frame. 3. Pull the bottom forward and out of the oven, keeping the rear of the oven bottom gliding on the bottom of the lowest shelf glide. This keeps (Art No. WB1622) it from catching on the burner ignitor shield. To replace the bottom, reverse this procedure, making sure the two tabs on the rear of the oven bottom go into the slots at the rear.

However, it must be installed properly and used intelligently by the customer. In spite of all the precautions which were designed into the range for safety reasons, we must depend on properly installed ranges and that the customer is aware of the proper use and care. The information contained in this section is to remind our service personnel that the range is safe for use by the user, and that the user should be instructed to read the User's Manual, so that he or she will be able to operate the range intelligently and obtain optimum results. Page C-1 SAFETY PRACTICES SERVICE PRACTICES Safe and satisfactory operation of a gas range basically depends upon its design and, to a great extent, upon proper installation. However, there is one more area of safety to be considered: SERVICE. Listed below are some general precautions and safety practices which should be followed in order to protect the service technician and the customer during service and after service has been completed. 1. If you smell gas: Extinguish any open flame, and open windows. 2. Turn gas off — Perform service to range with gas turned off unless needed for testing. 3. Checking for gas leaks — Never check for leaks with a match, or any other kind of open flame. A soap and water (suds) solution should be used for this purpose. Apply suds to the suspected area, and watch for air bubbles which indicate a leak. Correct leaks by tightening fittings, screws, con- nections, applying approved com- pound, or by installing new parts. 4. Using lights — Use hand flashlights only when servicing a range or checking for gas leaks. Electric switches should not be operated where leaks are suspected. (This will avoid creating arcing or sparks which could ignite the gas). If elec- tric lights are already turned on, they should not be turned off. Page C-2 5. Do not smoke - Do not smoke while servicing a gas range, especially if working on piping or components which contains or has contained gas. 6. Check range when service completed —- After service has been completed, make electrical connection, relight all pilots, and check for leaks. Advise customer of condition of range before leaving. 7. Adhere to all local regulations and codes when performing service. CUSTOMER USAGE PRACTICE IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS These safety instruction are in the customer's use and care manual. When You Get Your Range o Have the installer show you the location of the range gas cut-off valve and how to shut is off if necessary. e Have your range installed and properly grounded by a qualified installer, in accordance with the Installation Instructions. Any adjustment and service should be performed only by qualified gas range installers or service technicians. * Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded outlet only. Do not remove the round grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt about the grounding of the home electrical system, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have an ungrounded outlet replaced with a properly- grounded three-prong outlet in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. * Be sure all packing materials are removed from the range before operating it, to prevent fire or smoke damage should the packing mater- ial ignite. * Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by a qualified service technician or installer for the type of gas (Natural or LP) on which it is to be used. Your range can be converted for use on one type of gas SAFETY PRACTICES or the other. See Installation Instructions. e After prolonged use of a range, high floor temperatures may result and many floor coverings will not with- stand this kind of use. Never install the range over vinyl tile or linoleum that cannot withstand such type of use. Never install it directly over inter- ior kitchen carpeting. Using Your Range e Don't leave children alone or unat- tended where a range is hot or in operation. They could be seriously burned. e Don't allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the door or range top. They could damage the range and even tip it over causing severe personal injury. e CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST TO CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE STORED IN CABINETS ABOVE A RANGE OR ON THE BACKSPLASH OF ARANGE- CHILDREN CLIMBING ON THE RANGE TO REACH ITEM COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED. e Let burner grates and other sur- faces cool before touching them or leaving them where children can reach them. e Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with flame or hot oven surfaces and may cause severe burns. e Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room. Prolonged use of the range without Page C-3 SAFETY PRACTICES adequate ventilation can be hazardous. * Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn off burner, then smother flaming pan by covering pan completely with well fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering with baking soda or, if available, a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam fire extinguisher. e Do not store flammable materials in an oven or near the cooktop. * Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range. * When cooking pork, follow our directions exactly and always cook the meatto atleast 170°F. This assures that, in the remote possibility that trichina may be present in the meat, it will be killed and meat will be safe to eat. Surface Cooking e Always use the LITE position when igniting top burners and make sure the burners have ignited. e Never leave surface burners unattended at HI flame settings. Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire. * Adjust top burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil. Excessive flame is hazardous. * Use only dry potholder — moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces Page C-4 may result in burns from steam. D' not let potholders come near ope flames when lifting utensils. Do nc use a towel or other bulky cloth i place of a potholder. ® То minimize the possibility of burns ignition of flammable materials, an: spillage, turn the cookware handle toward the side or back of the rang without extending over adjacen burners. e Always turn surface burner to OF before removig utensil. e Carefully watch food being fried a HI flame setting. e Never block the vents (air openings of the range. They provide the ai inlet and outlet which is necessar for the range to opereate proper! with correct combustion. * Do not use a wok on the cooking surface if the wok has a round meta ring which is placed over the burne grate to support the wok. This ring: acts as a heat trap which ma damage the burner grate and burne head. Also, it may cause the burne to work improperly. This may caus a carbon monoxide level above tha allowed by current standards resulting in a health hazard. e Food for frying should be as dry a possible. Frost of frozen foods o moisture on fresh foods can caus hot fat to bubble up and over side: of pan. e Use least possible amount of fatfo effective shallow or deep-fat frying Filling the pan too full of fat car cause spillovers when food is added e |f a combination of oils or fat will be used in frying, stir together before heating, or as fats melt slowly. * Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats. * Use deep fat thermometer when- ever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point. * Use proper pan size — Avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to properly contain food avoiding boilovers and spillovers, and large enough to cover burner grate. This will both save cleaning and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool. ¢ Use only glass cookware that is recommended for use on gas burners. e Keep all plastics away from top burners. * To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be certain that the controls for all burners are at OFF position and all grates are cool before ‘attempting to remove a grate. ® When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread the flame. e |f range is located near a window, do not use long curtains which could blow over the top burners and create a fire hazard. e |f you smell gas, turn off the gas to SAFETY PRACTICES the range and call a qualified service technician. Never use an open flame to locate a leak. Baking, Broiling and Roasting e Do not use oven for a storage area. e Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/ or eyes. e Don’t heat unopened food con- tainers in the oven. Pressure could build up and the container could burst causing an injury. e Don't use aluminum foil anywhere in the oven except as described in this book. Misuse could result in a fire hazard or damage to the range. e Use only glass cookware that is recommended for use in gas ovens. e When using cooking or roasting bags in oven, follow the manu- facturer's directions. * Always remove broiler pan from the oven as soon as you finish broiling. Grease left in the pan can catch fire if oven is used without removing the grease from the broiler pan. ¢ When broiling, if meat is too close to the flame, the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent excessive flare-ups. * Make sure broiler pan is in place correctly to reduce the possibility of grease fires. e |f you should have a grease fire in the broiler pan, turn off oven, and Page C-5 SAFETY PRACTICES keep oven door closed to contain fire until it burns out. Self-Cleaning Oven * Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Be careful not to rub, damage or move it. * Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven. * Remove the broiler pan and other cookware before self-cleaning the oven. INSTALLATION NOTE: IN SOME CASES. THE POWER CORD OF THE RANGE IS DRAPED AROUND THE OVEN VENT ASSEMBLY WHEN THE RANGE IS UNCRATED. BE SURE TO UNWRAP THE CORD FROM THE OVEN VENT BEFORE YOU INSTALL THE RANGE. PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS SUPPLY This range is designed to operate on natural gas at 4” of water column pressure or on LP gas at 10" of water column pressure. It is shipped from the factory set for natural gas. If it is to be used with LP gas, adjust- ments must be made (see Gas Conversions). A convertible pressure regulator is connected in series with the manifold of the range and must remain in series with the supply line regard- less of whether natural or LP gas is being used. Page C-6 FOR PROPER OPERATION; THE MAXIMUM INLET PRESSURE TO THE REGULATOR MUST BE NO MORE THAN 14" OF WATER COLUMN PRESSURE. For checking the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1” greater than the regulator output setting. If the regulator is set for4” of water column pressure, the inlet pressure must be at least 5”. If the regulator is set for 10”, the inlet pressure must be at least 11”. The gas supply line into the range should be a %" or 34" |.D. flexible metal appliance connector five feet in length. SEAL THE OPENINGS Seal any openings in the wall behind the range and in the floor under the range when hookups are completed. CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS Install a manual shut-off valve in the gas line in an easily-accessible location outside of the range. Be sure you know and where to shut-off the gas supply to the range. ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS: 120-volt, 60 Hertz, individual, properly grounded branch circuit protected by a 15 amp. circuit breaker or time delay fuse. Extension Cord Cautions: Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use an extension cord. It is absolutely necessary that it be a UL listed 3-Wire grounding type appli- ance extension cord and that the current carrying rating of the cord in amperes be equivalent to or greater than the branch circuit rating. Such extension cords are obtainable through your local service organization. GROUNDING IMPORTANT: (Please read carefully). FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED. The power cord of this appliance is equipped ith a three-prong (ground- ing) plug which mates with a standard three-prong grounding wall receptacle to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance. The customer should have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded. PREFERRED METHOD INSURE PROPER GROUND EXISTS BEFORE USE. Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obliga- tion of the customer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle. DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (Art Nos. WB983,984) SAFETY PRACTICES (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD. USAGE SITUATIONS WHERE THE APPLIANCE POWER CORD WILL BE DISCONNECTED INFREQUENTLY For 15 amp. circuits only. Do not use an adapter on a 20 amp. circuit. Where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded two- prong wall receptacle by the use of a UL listed adapter available at most hardware stores The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the connection of the power cord. TEMPORARY METHOD (ADAPTER PLUGS NOT PERMITTED IN CANADA) ALIGN LARGE PRONGS/SLOTS. a INSURE PROPER GROUND AND FIRM CONNECTION BEFORE USE. CAUTION: ATTACHING THE ADAPTER GROUND TERMINAL TO THE WALL RECEPTACLE COVER SCREW DOES NOT GROUND THE APPLIANCE UNLESS THE COVER SCREW IS METAL, AND NOT INSULATED, AND THE WALL RECEPTACLE IS GROUNDED THROUGH THE HOUSE WIRING. THE CUSTO- MER SHOULD HAVE THE CIRCUIT CHECKED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN TO MAKE SURE THE RECEPTACLE IS PROPERLY GROUNDED. Page C-7 SAFETY PRACTICES When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold adapter with one hand. If this is not done, the adpater ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground has again been established. USAGE SITUATIONS WHERE APLIANCE POWER CORD WILL BE DISCONNECTED FREQUENTLY. Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because disconnecting of the power cord places undue strain on the adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal. The customer should have the two-prong wall receptacle replaced with a three-prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician before using the appliance. Installing the Range Your range, like so many other household items, is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. When moving the range on this type of flooring, use care. Do not install the range over kitchen carpeting unless you place an insulating pad or sheet of Va-inch-thick plywood between the range and carpeting. When the floor covering ends at the front of the range, the area that the range will rest on should be built up with plywood or similar material to the same level or higher than the floor covering. This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning or servicing. Leveling the Range Your range must be level in order to produce proper cooking and baking Page C-8 * result. After it is in its final location, place a level horizontally on an oven shelf and check the levelness front to back and side to side. Level the range by adjusting the leveling legs or by placing shims under the corners as needed. SAFETY PRACTICES PRODUCT SAFETY DEVICES Safety devices and features have been engineered into the product to protect the user and the servicer. Safety devices must never be removed, by-passed, or altered in such a manner as to defeat the purpose for which they were intended. Listed below are various safety devices together with the reason each device is incorporated in the gas range. Pressure Regulator Maintains proper and steady gas pressure for operation of range controls. The regulator must be set for the type of gas being used — natural or LP. After servicing the regulator make certain it is set properly before completing service. Gas Burner Orifices Universal orifices are used on top burner valves and oven valves. They must be adjusted or set for the type of gas being used — natural or LP. After servicing a valve or orifice make certain it is adjusted properly before completing service. Oven Safety Valve The oven valve is designed to be a safety valve. Two basic designs are used in gas ranges. Hydraulic type valve Electric type valve Both types are safety valves because they are indirectly operated by the oven thermostat, which controls a pilot flame or electric ignitor, to open and close the oven valve. Latch Assembly Locks the door during self cleaning cycle. Prevents | possible injury to user by preventing door opening at high temperatures where ignition of soil could take place with the in-rush of air. Grounded Range The ground prong of the gas range electric power Frame cord is connected to the range frame-usually a green lead fastened by a screw. In addition, any part or component capable of conducting an electric current is grounded by it's mounting. If any ground wire, screw, strap, nut, etc. is removed for service, or any other reason, it must be reconnected to it's original position with the original fastener before the appliance is put into operation again. Failure to do so can create a possible shock hazard. Page C-9 GAS DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS INDEX PAGE Electric ignition spark system — top & OVEN -.................... e... ene...

NOTE: Depending on model, the regulator is located at the end of the manifold under the cooktop, or is located behind the range and con- nected to the manifold by a sepa- rate tube. (See pressure regulator). From the manifold gas is distributed to the top burners through burner valves, and to the oven burner through the thermostat and oven valve. NOTE: Depending on model, the sur- face or top burners connect directly over the orifices on the end of the top valves, or to separate orifices on the bottom of the burner box and connected to the top valves by sepa- rate tubes. (see top burners). Page D-2 The oven thermostat mounts to the manifold, and it has two tubes which go to the oven. The larger tube goes to the oven valve, and the smaller tube goes to the pilot assembly. A small amount of gas supplies the standing, or primary, pilot. When the thermostat is turned to a cooking temperature, a larger amount of gas goes through the pilot tube and the flame enlarges to a secondary pilot The oven valve sensor senses this secondary pilot flame, and the over valve turns on gas to the oven burn. er after about 30 seconds. Gas is supplied directly to the oven valve when the thermostat is turned to ar “on” position. STANDING PILOT COMPONENTE Components associated with stand ing pilot systems are outlined ir the following information. GAS DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS TOP BURNER PILOTS The two top pilots and the oven pilot must be match lit initially. The top pilots are located between each pair of burners. Raise the cooktop for access to the pilots. The pilot flame should be 1” or less if possible, with a slight yellow tip. (see note) Adjust the pilot by the adjusting screw on the pilot filter. NOTE: If pilot is too low, top burner ignition may not occur. If the pilot is too high, carbon (soot) will accum- ulate under the cooktop and cooktop may rust. The pilot filter and adjust screw is located under the cooktop. PILOT ADJ. SCREW TOP BURNER PILOT FILTER . OVEN STANDING PILOT The oven pilot assembly works in conjunction with the oven thermo- stat, and oven safety valve. Oven pilot and oven burner gas is controlled by the thermostat. When the thermostat is “off’’ all oven gas is off. When the thermostat is set to some temperature, gas flows to the oven pilot and to the oven safety valve. (Art No. WB1375) The oven valve is a hydraulic type with a mercury-filled bulb which mounts to the oven pilot assembly. Gas is always flowing to the oven pilot assembly to provide a stand- ing pilot. When the thermostat is turned “ON” to any temperature setting, additional pilot gas flows through the small pilot line to the pilot assembly. Immediately the standing pilot flame should enlarge and extend down the pilot assembly to engulf the bulb of the oven safety valve. At the same time, gas will flow through the large line from the oven thermostat to the oven valve. The valve however, is closed to the oven burner until the pilot flame (heater pilot) heats the oven valve bulb enough to open the oven valve and allow gas to flow to the oven burner. G SAFETY vive SENSOR BURNER Typically it takes approximately 30 seconds of pilot flame heating of the mercury filled bulb of the oven valve Page D-3 GAS DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS to open the valve and permit gas flow to the oven burner. At this time the pilot ignites the over burner. WITH CONTROL DIAL IN OFF POSITION—LIGHT CONSTANT ILOT . . . FLAME SHOULD APPEAR AS SHOWN. AIR SHUTTER SINGLE TUBE PILOT GAS SELECT ADJUSTMENT A pilot gas select adjust screw on the oven thermostat must be set for type of gas (Nat. or LP). This controls the proper gas flow for the oven pilot. An “off” position is also available between the Nat. and LP positions. The select key is accessible by removing the knob. OFF PILOT GAS SELECT SCREW OVEN TEMP ADJUST SCREW FRONT VIEW Oven Pilot Flame Adjustment The oven standing pilot flame size is not adjustable as such. If the pilot does not extend down the pilot assembly to engulf the oven valve bulb when the thermostat calls for “TURN ON,” then check the following: 1. Turn oven thermostat to “OFF” position. 2. Turn off range gas supply. Page D-4 2. Disconnect pilot gas line at thermostat and at pilot assembly — blow through the tubing to clear out any obstruction. 4. Remove the pilot assembly and locate the hole in its side in front of the pilot orifice. Carefully insert a pocket size screwdriver in the hole and push the “hat shaped” orifice out of the pilot body — blow through the orifice to clear any blockage of the orifice — the orifice is oniy .014” in size. Do not enlarge the orifice. 5. Make certain pilot select screw is set for type of gas being used. Oven Thermostats Two different type thermostats were used on standing pilot ranges. e “Robertshaw ELO” — used on Tappan, Magic Chef, 8 Hardwick models ® “Harper/ Wyman — used on Glenwood/Caloric models Both types are basic gas hydraulic type thermostats in which the stem and core act as a manual shut off valve for gas to the oven valve. Robertshaw ELO Thermostat Two things should be noted about the “Robertshaw Model ELO" thermostat used on the standing pilot ranges: 1. To prevent pilot outage when the thermostatis turned “on”, a small orifice inside the thermostat connects the main oven valve chamber and outlet with the pilot outlet. Withoutthisorificetherush of gas into the thermostat inlet would tend to lower pressure for the gas going down to the small standing pilot flame.

NOTE: Depending on model, the regulator is located under the cook- top, or behind the range and is con- nected to the manifold by a separate tube. (See Pressure Regulator). From the manifold gas is distributed to the top burners through burner valves, and to the oven burner through the thermostat and oven valve. NOTE: Depending on model, the sur- face or top burners connect directly over the orifices on the end of the top valves, or to separate orifices on the bottom of the burner box and connected to the top valves by sepa- rate tubes. (See Top Burners). The surface burner valves have elec- tric ignition switches. The thermo- stat is very much like the one used on standing pilot models. The only differences are: (a) No gas flows through the oven thermostat (for a standing pilot flame) when it is in its “OFF” position, and (b) An elec- tric ignition switch for the ovem pio is mounted on the thermo tat sf When the thermostat is turned from “OFF” to any cooking temperature, gas flows through the oven pilot tube to the pilot assembly. At the same time, the thermostat electric ignition switch closes and this causes spark- ing of the oven electric igniter, which ignites the oven pilot secondary flame. Page D-6 The secondary pilot flame size is the same as for the standing pilot sys- tem. The hydraulic oven valve sen- sor senses the secondary pilot flame, and this turns on gas to the oven burner after about 30 seconds. The oven valve and oven pilot assem- bly is identical to the ones used on standing pilot models, and they oper- ate the same — except no pilot flame is present until the oven thermostat Is turned “on” to some temperature setting. The thermostat then cycles the pilot flame from a standing pilot size to a heater pilot size, to operate the valve and burner. GAS DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS Oven Thermostats Two different type thermostats. e “ROBERTSHAW ELO - Tappan, Magic Chef, and Hardwick models. e “HARPERWYMAN"” — Glenwood/ Caloric Models. Important —- These thermostats are not interchangeable with standing pilot model thermostats. Robertshaw ELO Thermostat If the temperature is set above 400 degrees, when the temperature is reached, the oven burner flame is modulated down rather than going off. The burner flame then cycles from the low modulated flame to full size to maintain an even temperature. Electric Ignition —- Spark System Top and oven (2 + 1) This spark ignition system consists of a solid state module, three electrodes (2 for top burners & 1 for the oven), and five switches to energize the circuit — there is one switch for each top burner valve and one for the oven thermostat. Note: This system is commonly called 2 + 1 spark ignition. The module is powered by 120 volts. All input and output wiring connec- tions are marked on the body of the module. Two different types (manufacturers) of modules have been used (KIGASS & HARPER/WYMAN). Both types operate the same electrically, but are not interchangeable due to mount- ing. The terminal legends for each type are as follows: (Art No. WB1622) Inputs “Kigass” (Red) Fr “HarperWyman” (Tan) CONNECTS TO GROUND 12 - GROUND RANGE BODY MANUAL 8 - MANUAL 4TOPVALVE SWITCHES REIG 9 - REIG OVEN T'STAT SWITCH COMMON 7 - COMMON, ALL5SWITCHES NEUTRAL €6 - NEUTRAL LIVE 5 - LIVE = JHzovsueeux Outputs 01 1 - MAN TOP BURNER ELECTRODE 02 2 - MAN TOP BURNER ELECTRODE REIG 4 - REIG OVEN ELECTRODE o | — TO RANGE BODY — §=—— GROUND £80£73Q0N ZH 08 — 2% ADZL TO 4 TOP SW. — e MANUAL».

CAUTION: While there is no serious shock hazard involved, it should be pointed out the shock can be felt if Page D-7 GAS DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS exposed to it.

(Range Frame Ground) SPARK TARGET (GROUND) SPARK IGNITION ELECTRODE AIR SHUTTER & —— TOP BURNER VALVES IGNITION SWITCH The top burner valve is a standard type valve with a special micro switch located on the shaft. The switch terminals are on each side. The hub of the switch rotates with shaft to turn the switch “on” when the knob is set at the “lite “ position. When any switch is closed all electrodes spark. After the top burner is lit and the knob is moved from the “lite” position, the switch opens and the sparking stops. The switches merely slip over the valve shaft, therefore service to the switch is simple. The switches can be continuity tested by removing the (Art No. WB1622) GAS DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS leads and checking across the switch terminals while turning the valve to the “lite” position. Caution: Gas will be flowing from the valve during the test. Turn valve to “off” as soon as possible.

GAS DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS Oven Burner Spark Ignition The thermostat also uses an ignition switch on the shaft. This switch closes when the shaft is at any set- ting execept “off” — There is no “lite” position like on top burner valves. When the knob is turned to a temperature setting, pilot gas flows and the oven electrode “sparks’’ until the pilot ignites. The electrode senses the presence of the pilot flame and stops “sparking” due to reduced cir- cuit resistance. (Remember, when the oven electrode ‘’sparks,’’ the top burner electrodes do also, and vice versa.) OVEN PILOT ASM. PILOT SENSING BULB (OVEN VALVE) ELECTRODE The pilot assembly mounts to the side of the oven burner and houses the oven electrode and sensing bulb of the oven safety valve. The oven thermostat controls the gas flow to the pilot. When the ovenis calling for (Art Nos. WB1375,1622) heat, the pilot flame is elongated and envelops the safety valve bulb. The safety valve opens and allows main gas to the burner. When the oven is at set temperature, the elongated pilot flame reduces to a small primary pilot flame — the safety valve then closes. NOTE: The oven has a reignition (REIG) feature — if the oven pilot blows out, the oven electrode will automatically “spark” again to re- light the pilot. PRIMARY OVEN SPARK ELECTRODE PILOT HEATER PILOT SAFETY VALVE SENSOR IMPORTANT 120-VOLT SUPPLY POLARITY AND GROUNDING If the “L” and “Neutral” polarity on the 120-Volt wall receptacle is reversed — or if the receptacle is not grounded — then there is likely to be a problem of random spark- ing with the “2 + 1”. Electronic module. This random sparking is caused by the oven ‘Flame Sen- sing” spark system, and it may occur with the oven burner either on or off.

The gas supply line connects to the pressure regulator which is con- nected to the manifold NOTE: Depending on model, the regulator is located under the cook- top, or behind the range and is con- nected to the manifold by a separate tube. (see pressure regulator) From the manifold gas is distributed to the top burners through burner valves. Gas flow to the oven is through an on-off valve mounted to the manifold, (or on the pressure regulator), and then directly to an electric open valve. The oven ther- mostat is electric and therefore has no gas connections to it. NOTE: Depending on model, the top burners connect directly over the ori- fices on the end of the top valves, or ‘to separate orifices on the bottom of the burner box and connected to the top valves by separate tubes.

TOP BURNER SPARK IGNITION CIRCUIT (Art No. WB1622) Typical Top Burner (only) Spark System The spark module contains an electronic circuit which produces periodic high voltage pulses (apprx. 2 sparks per second) to both top burner electrodes when the module input is connected to the 120 volt supply. The module has four terminals: | & N— 120 Volt Input 1 & 2- High voltage output leads to spark electrodes. The four top burner igniter switches are connected in parallel in the line (L) input. Each switch mounts on the valve shaft. When a top burner valve knob is turned “on” to the “lite” position, the switch contacts close and connects 120 volt power to the spark module. When 120 volts is supplied to the module, the output at terminals “1” to “2”, provides a high voltage pulse which creates a spark between each of the two spark gap electrodes and ground. The spark then ignites the burner. After the top burner is lit and the knob is moved from the “lite” position, the switch opens and the sparking stops.

The typical glow-bar ignition system consists of a series circuit of the fol- lowing components: e Electric glow-bar igniter e Electric gas valve e Electric oven thermostat Other components such as an oven select switch, timer contacts, etc, may be used, but does not change the basic circuit operation. (Refer to range schematic/wiring diagram for details. x 120V a= GLOW BAR IGNITER ‘ OVEN {IF USED)" TSTAT VALVE 150 *TAPPAN MODELS ONLY 1.30 TYPICAL GLOWBAR IGNITION CIRCUIT When the thermostat is turned to cooking temperature, the switch con- tacts close and applies 120 volts across the series circuit. Current flows through the glow-bar and through the bi-metal heater coil inside the oven valve which is nor- mally closed. As the glow-bar heats up, its resistance decreases, and more current flows. The gas oven valve is current oper- ated and will not open until the ser- ies circuit current increases to the minimum operating current of the valve. (Art No. WB1622) Important - Two different types of glow-bar igniters (and matching val- ves) have been used, and the min- imum operating currents are different: Min. Current Glow-Bar Shape Teo Open Valve *Norton Flat 3.2 Amps (3.2-3.6A) Carborun- Tubular 2.5 Amps dum (2.5-3.0A) *¥Used on most ovens NORTON GLOWBAR CARBORUNDUM GLOWBAR When the current reaches the oper- ating range, the valve opens and allows gas to flow to the oven bur- ner which ignites. This generally takes 30-60 seconds from cold start. The glow-bar will cycle “on” and Page D-17 . GAS DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS “off” as the thermostat cycles to maintain oven temperature. CAUTION: The glow-bar may glow red and appear to be operating properly, but the current through the series cir- cuit may be too low to allow the oven valve to operate. For a non- ignition complaint, always check the current through the glow-bar with a clamp-on amp probe. THE CUR- RENT MUST BE AT LEAST THE MIN. CURRENT FOR THE TYPE OF GLOW- BAR IN USE. If not — replace the glow- bar not the valve. Glow-Bar Igniter Service Since the glow-bar igniter must be located adjacent to the oven burner, the igniter can be serviced by remov- ing the oven bottom and burner baf- fle. The igniter is usually mounted to a bracket by two screws. NOTE: Ovens with a separate bake and broil burner will have separate igniters. The broil igniter can be ser- viced by removing the broil burner baffle. OVEN ELECTRIC GAS VALVE An electrically operated oven gas valve is used on all range ovens that have a glow-bar ignition system. The gas valve supplies gas to the oven burner. For most ranges, which have only one burner, the gas valve is located directly under the oven burner, and contains the burner ori- fice and a single inlet gas line from a shut-off valve.

TAPPAN WALL OVENS (Art Nos. WB1500,1622 GAS DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS Pressure Regulator The pressure regulator is the heart of the range operation. The range controls and burners are designed to operate at a steady pressure for the type of gas in use — Natural or LP. A pressure regulator can only de- crease the pressure — it cannot in- crease it. A typical pressure reguator is divided into two (2) main sections — upper and lower and are isolated and sep- arated by a spring loaded diaphragm. The gas flow is through the lower section; and air and spring tension in the top. | DIAPHRAGM CHAMBER VENT | | im im | | y 0 | WU | si НА REGULATED LOWER GAS PRESSURE OUTLET High pressure gas enters the inlet end and passes through an opening to the regulated lower gas pressure outlet. The spring loaded diaphragm moves up and down automatically as needed to maintain a steady flow and outlet pressure. The spring ten- sion must be set for the type of gas in use. Important: For proper operation, the input pressure must be at least 1” higher than the regulated output pressure. {Art Nos. WB1375,1622) Different types of regulators are used and method of setting will therefore be different. In any case LP gas setting requires more spring tension than natural. (NOTE: Exposed end of cap and plunger is marked NAT or LP) One typical type uses a plunger with an enlarged end. To set, remove the cap and locate the plunger: e NAT.GAS-enlargedendup(4"W.C.) e LP GAS-enlarged end down (10” W.C.) & PLUNGER ENLARGED y END DOWN N PLUNGER ENLARGED END UP NAT.

This type of regulator is used on Tappan built ‘J’ model self-clean ovens, and also standard ovens with bake and broil burners. (All with oven glow-bar ignition systems) The regulator is located on the back of the range and can be accessed by removing the lower drawer, or panel. (TAPPAN “J” MODS.)

ORIFICES All range models use universal ori- fices for top burner valves and oven controls. The universal type orifice can be used on natural or LP gas. A hollow needle in the end of the valve allows gas to pass through it and around it as long as the orifice cap is not seated against the needle. When the orifice cap is screwed down against the needle, gas can pass through the center of the nee- die only. This feature therefore makes the orifice adjustable so it can be used on natural or LP gas. Natural Gas — The orifice cap must be unscrewed away from the needle to allow gas to flow around the nee- die as well as through it. Page D-22 TO MANIFOLD 7 LP Gas — The orifice cap must be screwed down so the gas can pass though the center of the needle only. This provides the correct size orifice for LP.

In either case their opera- tion is basically the same. To Use: e Standing Pilot Models — turn knob to “Hi” or “Lite” position until burn- er ignites, then turn knob to flame size desired. o Electric Ignition Models - Turn knobto “Lite” position— pilotignitor Will “spark”. When burner ignites, turn knob to desired flame size. (Art Nos. WB1450,1622) GAS DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS 90° Valve Operation The 90° valve is very simple in con- struction and operation. It can ro- tate only 90°. The valve ‘stem’ has a large opening or orifice which allows gas to pass from the manifold through the valve body and out the orifice in the end of the orifice hood. ORIFICE HOOD | RU GAS PORT © 80 VALVE When the valve is in the “Off” posi- tion, the stem hole is not in line with valve body hole and no gas can flow. When the valve is turned to “Hi”, all of the stem hole is exposed for max- imum gas flow. As the valve is turn- ed less of the hole is exposed and therefore less gas flow, and a small flame. 225° Valves This valve rotates about 225° as it has several marked settings — HI, MED, SIM, and WM. The valve is constructed and oper- ates exactly as the 90° valve except it has three (3 separate holes or orif- ices in the valve stem to provide all of the settings. e HI — All of the Large “HI” orifice is exposed. e MED - Part of “HI” and partof “LOW orifices are exposed. e LOW —- LOW orifice is exposed. e WM - Partof “LOW” and WM” ori- fice is exposed. (Art Nos. WB1450,1622) ow WM MU жар E 228° VALVE A specific metered gas flow there- fore occurs at each setting. Top Burner “Warm” Adjustment Some top burner valves have a “warm” setting which can be adjusted. To Adjust: 1. Turn knob to “lite” position until burner ignites. 2. Quickiy turn knob to “warm” burner flame should reduce to small size but should not go out. If burner goes out - remove knob and adjust small screw in valve shaft to increase or decrease the flame size at “warm”. Adjust until the flame is as small as possible without extin- guishing when the valve is quickly turned from “lite” to “warm”. GAS DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS TOP BURNERS WITH AIR ADJUSTMENT All ranges, except Tappan “J’’ mod- els, have adjustable air shutters on the top burners. Air Adjustment An air adjustment shutter for each surface burner regulates the flow of air to the flame. When the right amount of air flows into the burner, the flame will be steady, relatively quiet and have approximately 34" sharp blue cones without yellow tips. This usually results when the shutter is about halfway open. With too much air, the flame will be unsteady, possibly won't burn all the way around, and wili be noisy, sounding like a blowtorch. With not enough air, you won't see any sharp blue cones in the flame, you may see yellow tips, and soot may accumulate on pots and pans. Loosen / Air Adjustment Shutter The air adjustment shutters set on the hood of the valve and are either Page D-24 locked in place with Phillips head screws or positioned on the burner tubes by friction fit. To adjust the flow of air to the burn- ers, loosen the Phillips head screws and rotate the shutters (or apply a blade-type screwdriver against the friction-fit shutters and push) to allow more or less air into the burner tubes as needed. ROTATE AIR ADJUSTMENT SHUTTER TOP BURNERS NO AIR ADJUSTMENT (TAPPAN “J” MODELS) THE Tappan surface burner design has not previousiy been used on gas ranges from any manufacturer. The big difference is that there is NO AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT on the burners. DUAL TOP BURNER TOP IGNITER & WIRE TOP ORIFICE & HOOD | p TOP BURNER á д ; ~~ VALVE un ED ‘ -. TOP IGNITER SWITCH TUBE & ORIFICE TOP BURNER The valves are mounted to the man- ifold, and aluminum tubes (called Mixer Elbows on the catalog pages) run under the burner box from each valve to bring gas to the orifices. The {Art No. WB1622) GAS DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS orifices are located in the bottom of the burner box, one directly under each surface burner head. The orifice size of the hood is num- ber 54 drill for NAT gas. The orifice size of the inner needle is number 66 drill for LP gas. When gas leaves the orifice of the mixer elbow it passes through the air, and is injected into the bottom of the top burner head. As the gas passes between the orifice and the burner head, air is mixed with gas to form a combustible mixture. The burner head disperses the gas air mixture from around the top for the burner flame, and from ports on the side for ignition. The two lower ports, on the side of the burner head, inject gas down the flash tube to be igni- ted by the pilot. The other three ports one side to the burner head are to allow the flame to climb the side of the burner head to ignite the burner gas. SURFACE BURNER — GAS => AIR PU Ud O CLIMBER PORTS O CHARGE PORTS (Art No. WB1503) The reasons that no air shutter is required for this system are: 1. The tolerances in the dimensions and alignment of the orifice open- ing to the bottom of the burner head are controlled very tightly. On prior designs, the air shutter was needed to compensate for dimension and alignment differ- ences from orifice opening to the end of the burner venturi tube. 2. The dimensions were designed to give good performance on LP gas, which is more critical than NAT gas. Therefore, when the ori- fice is set up for NAT gas, the per- formance remains good. The most critical dimension is the distance from orifice to the bottom of burner head. The most critical alignments are (a) centering of ori- fice to centerline of burner head, and (b) vertical alignment of orifice spud. If there are problems with the sur- face burner flame, check that the burner head has not been pushed down, and that the orifice spud is vertical and centered under the burner head. NORMAL TOP BURNER OPERATION The following information appears in the user book. “Due to the unique design on the top burners, you may at times exper- ience a blowing or hissing sound when burners are intially turned on. This is a normal condition which is due to improved injection of gas and air into top burner and should not be cause for concern. It does not require a service call. Page D-25 GAS DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS The blowing or hissing will occur for a period of 30 to 45 seconds or until burner heats up. When a cooking vessel is placed on top grate prior to turning on burner or if burner flame is adjusted to accommodate pan size, blowing or hissing sound is greatly diminished. Illustration 41 indicated how flames would appear after initial turn on. Flame would have slight lifting away from burner and would be approx- imately horizontal. Illustration #2 indicates how flames will appear after heat up or 30 to 45 seconds after turn on. Flames will stabilize and curve upwards.” HAZY BLUE DEEP BLUE LIFTING ILLUSTRATION 1 ILLUSTRATION 2 Oven Burner Air Adjustment (Non-self clean ovens except JGBS18 GEJ)* The air adjustment shutter for the oven burner regulates the flow of air to the flame.

OVEN THERMOSTATS Gas range thermostats are basically one of two types: ¢ Hydraulic gas type — with gas connection e Hydraulic electric type — no gas connection The hydraulic gas type thermostat is used on non-self clean standing pilot models and non-self clean spark ignition oven models... these Page D-29 GAS DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS models use a hydraulic type oven burner valve. The electric type ther- mostat is used on ranges which have ‘“glow-bar’’ oven igniters — this includes some non-self clean models and all self-clean models ... these models use an electric type oven burner valve. It is important to be aware that the heating and temperature char- acteristics vary considerably from one manufacturers range to another. These variations mainly involve the initial heat-up, or bake preheat time of the oven... this can be critical to baking performance. Important: In general, with foods which require preheating, the oven should be preheated for 15 minutes before placing food in the oven. The following temperature curves for various ranges show the heating characteristics and times for the oven to reach the selected bake tempera- ture. Understanding these charac- teristics can prevent unnecessary replacement of thermostats, and solve many customer education type problems: NON-SELF CLEAN OVENS GLENWOOD “F" & "Н” TAPPAN “H" & “J” MAGIC CHEF “JJ” 8 “K"” ROPER “K” e Non-self clean oven gas range e Bake selected e 350° temperature setting Page D-30 350° SET TEMPERATURE 400— ( w a 1111. 1-25 LA LALA _[ Lu w o 300— Ш O | a = Ww 200— > z wi > o 100 o "| " Г T т Г T о 2 4 6 8 10 MINUTES THERMOSTAT OVEN TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION * Adjustment Screw In Thermostat Shaft (Some Mods.) — Remove knob & use small screw- driver — Turn screw cw Xto lower temp. — Turn screw ccw¥ ) to raise temp. — Temp change 65° for 30 angular degrees rotation NOTE: 30 angular degrees rotation is equivalent to 5 minute increments of a clock e Adjustment On Back Thermostat Knob (Some Mods) — Loosen plate screws & move plate as needed — Knob marked (example: 25° per notch) NOTE: “Off” 8 “Broil” not lined up with index mark possible cus- tomer complaint.

FUSE HOLDER “H” MODELS FUSE HOLDER Во — 2 “J” MODELS == FUSE-TAPPAN RANGE The fuse is located under the cooktop in the right rear corner of the burner box - accessible by raising the cook- top. Page E-2 SELF-CLEAN LATCH The self-clean latch assembly is lo- cated under the cooktop. The primary purpose of the latch is to lock the door in the closed position whenever the oven is set for CLEAN and the oven temperature is above 675°F. The latch assembly consists of the mechanism, solenoid, latch switch, and handle. To service latch: Raise cooktop and remove metal cover. DOOR LATCH SWITCH LOCKING HANDLE CLOSED The solenoid is fastened to the back of the mechanism. The solenoid plung- er prevents the handle from being moved until the solenoid is ener- gized. The solenoid is serviced as a separate part. (Art Nos. WB1622, 1450) The latch switch is mounted on the left side of the latch and is operated by movement of the latch handle. It's purpose is to insure that the door is latched before the clean circuit can be energized. (See Circuit) OVEN SELECT SWITCH In the clean position, energizes var- ious portions of the self clean circuit. (See Circuit) THERMAL DOOR LOCK SWITCH The thermal door lock switch is a thermal disk type switch located on the back of the flue box. Its purpose is to open the latch solenoid circuit when the oven reaches “lock-up” temperature. (See Circuit) FLUE BOX PREHEAT , CE SWITCH | am. В DOOR LOCK (3 OVEN SWITCH BROIL IGNITER (BACK OF RANGE) OVEN VALVE Same oven valve used for all cooking modes. It is a dual-section valve, located on back of range, and con- tains both the bake, and broil valve coils. (See Circuit) TIMER The stop dial is advanced 2-4 hours which determines the length of the self-ciean cycle. (ArtrNos. WB1450, 1629) SELF-CLEAN OVEN CLEAN LIGHT Indicates that the oven switch is set at CLEAN. LOCK LIGHT Indicates oven has exceeded lock-up temperature - door is locked. OVEN THERMOSTAT-DUAL TEMP The dual-temp oven thermostat is a diaphragm-type hydraulic thermostat which controls the normal span of “oven temperatures from 150°F to 550°F (broil) plus a precalibrated CLEAN temperature of approx. 880° F. NOTE: THE SELF-CLEAN TEMPER- ATURE CANNOT BE ADJUSTED. The thermostat contains two (2) in- ternal cycling contacts, and five (5) external switching contacts, to con- trol various circuits. (See Circuit) NOT IN CLEAN CIRCUIT TEMP CYCLE CONTACTS BROIL TO BAKE SWITCH (CLEAN CIRCUIT} CAPILLARY CAUTION The hydraulic material contained with- in the sealed capillary/bulb assembly of this control is caustic. If any of this material 1s contacted by skin, first wipe area dry and wash with water. Page E-3 SELF-CLEAN OVEN Repeated bending or very sharp bends of the capillary/bulb should be avoid- ed. If the assembly should be rup- tured, a simple crimp made by pliers on each side of the rupture will ade- quately reseal the assembly for safe handling. CLEAN CIRCUIT To start a clean cycle the select switch, thermostat, and timer must be set for CLEAN, and door must be latched. With the select switch set at CLEAN, the latch solenoid is energized and allows the latch to be moved to the clean or latched position - the CLEAN indicator light also turns “on”. Inthe latched position the latch operates a door latch switch and completes the circuit to energize the broil burner cir- cuit. {The broil burner heat creates a “stack” or “flue’ effect to insure vent- Ing). When the oven temperature reaches approx. 550°F the thermal door switch (located on the flue box) opens the latch solenoid circuit, and turns the lock light “on”. At about 650° oven temperature, thermostat con- tacts open at COM-NO, and close COM-NC. This opens the broil burner circuit and connects the bake burner circuit. From a cold start it takes about 45 minutes for the oven to reach clean temperature (nominal 875°F). The oven thermostat cycling contacts (1- 2) then cycle the oven bake burner “off” and “on” to maintain tempera- ture (approx. 3 min. “on” and 1 min. “off” - 75% “on time”).

The primary purpose of the latch is to lock the door in the closed position during the clean cycle when the oven temperature Is above 6075 F. LATCH ARM ST LOCK с ВМ STOP SWITCH FASTENERS BI-METAL COVER The latch assembly consists of a bi- metal operated mechanism, a lock switch {micro-switch), and fatch arm or handle. The lock switch is mounted on the left side of the latch and is operated by the movement ofthe latch arm. It’s purpose is to connect the bake ther- mostat circuit for cooking cycles, and the clean thermostat circuit for clean cycle. (See Circuit) The bi-metal coil spring is located on the bottom of the latch. lt is encased in a metal case or cover, which is positioned directly over the oven liner so it is exposed to the oven heat. The со! 15 coupled to a metal latch arm stop on top of the latch. Page E-9 SELF-CLEAN OVEN As the bi-metal coil is heated from the oven, the coil rotates and turns the latch arm stop to a point where it blocks the latch arm and mechani- cally prevents the ability to unlatch the door - this “lock-up action oc- curs at approx. 600° - 6b50°F oven temperature. The lock switch is mounted by two (2) push-on fasteners and can be ser- viced through a cover in the burner box. The latch mechanism cannot be serviced except by removing the top burners and burner box. OVEN SELECT SWITCH In the clean position, one set of con- tacts (CL-F) connects the bake burner circuit.

(Art No. WB1629) JGSP10GEK COMPONENTS The self-clean oven has two burners — a bake burner and a broil burner, each with a separate igniter and a dual section valve. The components used in self-clean consist of the following: ® Electronic Control System — Electronic Control (ERC) — Relay Circuit Board — Oven Sensor e Motorized Door Lock — Latch — Motor — Door Switch — Anticipator (Heater & Switch) — Lock Switches 1 & 2 ® Fan - for Control e Oven Valve ELECTRONIC CONTROLSYSTEM The Control System consists of three (3) components: 1. Electronic Range Control (ERC) 2. Relay Circuit Board 3. Oven Temperature Sensor The control system components pro- vide the same functions as a conven- tional clock, oven select switch, and the oven temperature control or ther- mostat. ELECTRONIC CONTROL (ERC) The ERC is a solid state smart board and display which contains user push-buttons to set the clock, timer, bake, broil, and self-clean functions. All temperature functions are con- trolled by the oven sensor which plugs into the control. (Art No. WB1629) SELF-CLEAN OVEN ELECTRONIC RANGE CONTROL 00000000000 “NWR OURO The control can be serviced through an access cover in the front of the burner box. OVEN TEMP SENSOR FAN DUCT COOLING FAN OVEN SENSOR The oven temperature is measured by an oven sensor located in the upper rear wall of the oven. The sen- sor increases In resistance as the temperature increases, which redu- ces current flow in the sensor circuit. The ERC monitors the sensor current and cycles the bake or broil relays on and off — this in turn turns the oven on and off. Page E-21 SELF-CLEAN OVEN SENSOR RESISTANCE TEST REMOVE POWER FROM RANGE. TO TEST AT ERC: Remove 2 wire sen- sor harness disconnect at right side of ERC. With oven at room temperature, check resistance across two sensor leads (should be approx. 1100 ohms). If sensor circuit reads open or shorted, test at oven disconnect to determine if problem is in sensor or harness. TO TEST AT OVEN DISCONNECT: Remove 2 screws holding sensor at upper right rear oven wall. Gently pull sensor to expose wire harness dis- connect. Disconnect sensor and test sensor resistance (should be approx. 1100 ohms). If sensor checks open or shorted, replace. CAUTION: If improperly installed, sensor disconnect will melt during self-clean. Do not install against oven cavity. Be sure to push sensor discon- nect through cavity and mainback so that it is visible from rear of range. RELAY CIRCUIT BOARD The relay circuit board contains the step-down transformer which pro- vides the low-voltage AC needed to operate the electronic control (ERC). It also contains the 3 relays which con- trol bake, broil, and the lock motor and fan. The relay coils are rated at 25V DC supplied from the control. Page E-22 110-286 87654321 RELAY CIRCUIT BOARD The relay circuit board is located in a compartment behind the lower stor- age drawer. CIRCUIT BOARD - 120V. PLUG SPARK MODULE BOTTOM OF RANGE The 8-pin connector of the relay board connects to the 10-pin connector on the control. Various Resistance and Voltage tests can be made at the Relay Board, and the control. NOTE: When making resistance checks - remove power from relay board by disconnecting E1, or unplug range.

MOTORIZED DOOR LOCK The door locks automatically when control is set for clean. The lock assembly consists of a motor, latch, 2-lock switches, door switch, and an anticipator circuit. The lock motor drives a cam, on top of the motor, whichs operates the latch arm and hook. The two (2) lock switch- es are mounted on top of the motor and are also operated by the motor cam. Page E-24 The door switch is located on the right side of the motor and is oper- ated by a spring-loaded activator rod as the door is opened or closed—the switch is closed when the door is closed.

After approximately 5 minutes of a clean cycle, the “Heat Anticipator” has generated sufficient heat to open the ”Bi-Metal Safety Thermostat.” The cool down process, to close the Safety Thermostat, can take up to 45 minutes depending on the location of the Anticipator. The "Safety Thermostat’ is in series with the lock motor and provides an additional safety to prevent the oven door from unlocking during a clean cycle. The open Safety Thermostat, eliminates the possibility of the door unlocking after a power failure or momentary power loss.

After the first 30 minutes the control de-energizes the broil relay and ener- gizes the bake relay which turns on the bake burner only. SELF-CLEAN OVEN The oven sensor tracks the oven temperature during the clean cycle and cycles the bake burner (relay) “on” and “off” to maintain oven temperature at approx. 875°F. The fan stays “on” for the entire clean cycle.

Page G-1 MICROWAVE HI-LOW MICROWAVE Tappan “H” 8 “J”” Models The Hi-Low Microwave Ranges re- quire a 20-amp receptacle and sup- ply circuit. A 20 amp receptacle is supplied with the range and must be used by the installer to match to 20 amp line cord of the range. (20 amp cords have one vertical terminal and one horizontal terminal - will not fit a 15 amp receptacle.) The reason for the 20 amp circuit is the microwave oven and the electric ignition circuits exceed 15 amps when used at the same time. HORIZONTAL TERMINAL VERTICAL TERMINAL Control Functions The touch control has three func- tions: ® Cook 1 and Cook 2 Microwave for a preset amount of time using Power Level 10 or change power level after setting time. Cook 1 and Cook 2 allow you to program 2-stage cooking at two different power levels. Page G-2 ® Temp Cook Use the temperature probe to cook with a preset temperature. You can program any temperature from 100° to 199°F. Zeros as well as 100 are automatic. For setting a temperature such as 155, you would simply touch the “5” pad twice. Or for setting a temperature such as 160, you would only touch “0”.

A COOLING FANS There are two cooling fans used with the microwave oven: e Magnetron Fan e MW Component Fan The Magnetron Fan is inside the microwave section directly under the magnetron. The Component Fan is located un- der the microwave section. Depending on model the component fan operates as follows: All Models - Fan is “on” anytime microwave oven is in use—operated by microwave oven ‘’on-off’’ switch (see schematic). J’ Self-Clean Models - Fan is also “on” during self-clean cycle when lock light is “on” —operated by relay in control panel compartment (see schematic). Page G-8 STANDARD TEST LOAD — POWER TEST The standard test load is one liter (1000 ml.) water with a starting temperature of 59°-75° in a 1000 mi. beaker (WB64X73). (DO NOT USE ANY OTHER LOAD OR DISH AS RESULTS WILL VARY FROM STAND- ARD.) PERFORMANCE TEST 1. Measure line voltage (loaded). This test is based on normal voltage variations of 105V to 130V. Low voltage will affect power and tem- perature rise. 2. Place WB64X73 beaker contain- ing exactly one liter (1000 ml.) 59°-75° water in center of shelf. Record the starting water temper- ature with an accurate glass ther- mometer. 3. Set at HIGH (Power) - set timer past 2-minute mark. 4. Turnoven “ON” and time for exact- ly two minutes. 5. At end of two-minute period, re- cord the water temperature. The difference between the starting and ending temperature isthe tem- perature rise. Depending on line voltage, the nor- mal temperature rise should be: Normal Line Volts Temperature Rise 120V. 26°F. - 34°F. (Art Nos.

Check oven burner ignition - burner should ignite on first or sec- ond spark; if not - recheck igniter adjustment. OVEN IGNITION “BOOM NOISE" (TAPPAN “J” MODELS) The loud “boom” noise is caused by delayed ignition of second side of oven burner on ranges with glowbar igniter (generally occurs about 10 seconds after oven initially turned on). The basic source of the problem and corrections are listed below: e Flame cross-over ports in bur- ner clogged - Can be corrected by cleaning out grease. e Burner to valve orifice out of alignment - Bend/adjust oven valve mounting to align with orifice. e Low gas pressure to oven valve - Check for obstructions in tubing - verify gas pressure with man- ometer at oven orifice and incom- ing line pressure. Make certain pressure regulator at correct set- ting (NAT-LP). Page H-1 FIELD CORRECTIONS NO IGNITION — BAKE AND BROIL BURNER (TAPPAN “J” MODELS) No ignition problems on models with glowbar igniters can be caused by blown 5 amp glowbar fuse due to a short circuit - problem may be inter- mittent. Check for: ® Aluminum foil of insulation short- ing latch switch terminal to ground. ® Oven select switch terminals bent and shorted. ® Other glowbar circuit wiring shorts. TOP BURNER VALVES — HARD TO TURN (TAPPAN “J” MODELS) Hard-to-turn valves are caused by defective valve grease, or break- down of valve grease due to exces- sive valve temperatures caused by insulation voids under burner box. When replacing hard-to-turn valves, disassemble burner box and add in- sulation, if necessary, at valve area and over flue box. Note: Do not attempt to lubricate valves - replace only. TOP BURNER FLAMES HAVE YELLOW TIPS — LP GAS (TAPPAN “J MODELS) Some yellow tip flames on top burn- ers are normal for LP gas. Thisburner is designed to provide good perfor- mance on LP gas and no adjustment is available. Page H-2 TOP BURNER YELLOW FLAMES AND CARBON BUILD-UP (TAPPAN “J” MODELS) Yellow flames and carbon build-up problems with top burners are gen- erally caused by mis-adjusted burn- er orifices, low gas pressure, or bad LP gas mixture. Orifices - Make certain orifices are turned all the way down against the LP needle. Gas Pressure - Check with manome- ter at one top burner (with one other burner “ON”). If pressure is low (under 10” W.C.) problem is range regulator or LP gas supply. TOP BURNER NOISE — BLOWING & HISSING (TAPPAN “JJ” MODELS) Blowing and hissing type noise from top burners during the first 30-45 seconds of operation is normal for this burner design. Noise will dimin- ish after burner heats up (see Gas Distribution Systems, Section D, Page D-25). This condition is normal - Do not replace burner. Note: If range is on LP gas and burner noise persists for long period of time, check orifice - it may not be fully seated against LP needle, or may be too tight and damaged needle. TOP BURNER FLAME ERRATIC WITH OVEN IN USE (TAPPAN “J MODELS) Erratic top burner flame or outage during oven use can be caused by oven flue gasses leaking under cook- top. Check flue box — it should be flush with vent openings in back- guard above cooktop rear edge. If not, bend to fit or replace flue box. Note: If burner box very hot, check for insulation void under burner box. TOP BURNER VALVES — ERRATIC “WARM FLAME (TAPPAN “J” MODELS) Erratic or no flame at “warm’’ setting of 225° tri-set top burner valves can be caused by defective valve grease, and/or excessive temperatures as result of insulation voids under burn- er box. These conditions cause the valve core grease to soften, run, and clog the internal “warm” port in valve. Do not attempt to repair the valve -replace only. TOP BURNER VALVES — GAS LEAK — WARM ADJ. SCREW (TAPPAN “JJ” MODELS) Gas leaks can occur at the “warm” adjust screw in the shaft of 225” tri- set valves due to a defective valve. While the volume of gas is not great, it can be detected by smell. Replace any valve that leaks. FIELD CORRECTIONS TOP BURNER VALVES — HI 8: MED FLAME (TAPPAN “J” MODELS) The flame size at “HI” and “MED” settings are about the same size which sometimes generates custo- mer complaints. This is a normal operation of this type valve and should be considered as customer education - Do not replace the valve. Since there is no detent action at the “MED” setting, the user can turn the knob to a slightly lower setting to get the desired flame size. GAP AT TOP OF BLACK GLASS DOOR (TAPPAN ‘’J’’ MODELS) There is a 14-inch air gap (space) at the top of the door glass between the top edge of the glass and the door frame. The gap is part of the door design to provide an air flow path through the door. Cooling air enters the door through slots at the bottom and exits at the top of the black glass. The gap is normal and no trim is missing. DOOR SPACE NOT SAME ON BOTH SIDES (TAPPAN “J” MODELS) The spacing between the door and the body side panels should be the same on both sides as the R.H. and L.H. hinges are the same. Page H-3 FIELD CORRECTIONS If spacing is considerably different from one side to the other, the hinges are not to specifications and should be replaced as a pair. No in-out hinge adjustment available. (The door can be adjusted up-down at each hinge - remove door for access to adjustment screw). DOOR HINGE NOISE (TAPPAN “J”” MODELS) A broken or missing movable plastic slider in the hinge assembly will cause the hinge to ““catch’’ and make a loud noise when the door is opened or closed. DOOR ADJUSTMENT SCREW MOVABLE SLIDER DOOR — LL SPRING = To verify, remove the hinge assembly (3 screws) — and inspect. The inside end of the hinge arm should be en- gaged in the slot of a black or dark gray plastic movable slider. lf the movable slider is broken or missing, the metal hinge arm will scrape on bare metal as the hinge arm moves. TOP BURNER KNOBS — HOT OR MELTING (TAPPAN “J” MODELS) Top burner knobs on non-self clean ranges will get extremely hot and deform (melt) if the door gasket is not sealing across the top. A large gap (78-747) between the gasket and the front frame will cause the problem. Page H-4 Possible causes are: e Defective hinges — With door removed and the hinges set in the closed position, check for a maxi- mum 8” space between the top of hinge arm and front frame. If more than 8", shim the hinge to rear at the top screw, or replace the hinge. e Oven door too high or low — Door should be positioned so that gasket fits into opening in front frame. Adjust door up or down as needed. Each hinge has an adjustment screw. Remove door for access to screws. e Gasket bind at bottom — Some- times the door gasket can bind at the bottom and not allow the top to close. If door gasket extends across bottom of door, cut off each side of gasket about 1%" from bottom of door. (NOTE - shorter gasket started production in October 1988.) ® Door insulation voids — Disas- semble door and check insulation. Ни DOOR САЗКЕТ CUT HERE - BOTH SIDES ZE J ОА —— EII ‘a "lg N L NS? DOOR GASKET ORIGINAL LENGTH (Art No. WB1629) HOT COOKTOPS (TAPPAN “J” MODELS) Gas range cooktops are normally hot, especially self clean models during clean cycle or when broiling. Possible causes of excessive surface temperatures are: ® Oven vent alignment — If flue box IS not positioned properly in back- guard, oven vent heat will escape under cooktop. Bend or replace flue box to correct. ® Insulation voids under burner box — Disassemble burner box and check insulation as necessary to fill any voids. TOP OVEN TOO HOT (TAPPAN ‘’J’’ MODELS) Baking performance problems are sometimes encountered with breads and pastries in the top oven of Hi- Low ranges. The complaints are gen- erally “burned” or “overcooked” on bottom of the food. Possible causes are as follows: e Black bottom pan being used — Advise customer to use shiny sur- face utensils to avoid heat absorp- tion and over browning. e Burner flame too hot for small oven — If range is on natural gas, try reducing the flame size down to about % original size by turning down the burner orifice. TOP OVEN CORNER SAGS (TAPPAN “JJ” HI-LOW MODEL) The right front corner of the top oven on hi-low ovens wili sag if the top oven structure is not welded square, or if the mounting screws are loose inthe structure angle brackets or ver- tical support posts. FIELD CORRECTIONS If the sag is greater than 4” repair as follows: 1. Remove top oven sides and rear panel. 2. Loosen all screws holding struc- ture to angle brackets and both vertical support posts. 3. Block up the side of the oven that IS too low, and retighten all screws. 4. Remove the support blocking and check dimensions on both sides. 5. NOTE: In severe cases where the above steps do not help the prob- lem, it may be necessary to drill new holes in the vertical support post to raise the angle bracket height on low side. OVEN PILOT OUTAGE AND OVEN POPPING NOISE (TAPPAN “H1' MODELS) Bowing of the oven back wall may cause two problems on Tappan “H1" model 30” and 36” standard ovens. ® Oven pilot outage — bowed back wall causes “chimney effect’ of air blowing on pilot as door is opened or closed. e Oven popping noise — occurs dur- Ing baking as oven heats up (oil can aftect). Both problems can be corrected by adding an angle bracket across the the oven wall — drill 1/16” screw mounting holes. Parts needed: WB 2 x 4675 BRACKET (1) WB 1 x802 SCREW (4) Standing pilot models — locate and mount bracket as shown: Page H-5 FIELD CORRECTIONS SLOTS FOR OVEN BOTTOM STANDING PILOT SNACKET ре DD -n NU I e 1 *— YX ANGLE-REAR OF OVEN MTG.

NOTE: starting with “H2” models, the bracket was used in production. TOP BURNER CHROME BOWLS — TURNING BLUE (TAPPAN “H” MODELS) When replacing top burner chrome bowls because of discoloration (turn- ing blue) on “H” model ranges, the following service procedure should be followed: 1. Check burner types — two differ- ent types were used: e Original (Harper-Wyman) e Replacement (Lincoln) NOTE: The two types can be iden - tified by the pattern on top of the burner head. POINT ! ear HARPER-WYMAN (ORIGINAL) LINCOLN (REPLACEMENT) WB28X61 - FRONT WB28X62 - REAR Page H-6 2. Iforiginal is Harper-Wyman type, replace with Lincoln type: Front — WB 28x61 Rear — WB 28x62 3. Adjust two (2) rear burner heads to height of 34-inch from top of Burner Head (outer flat surface) to top of Grate Finger. GRATE ADJUST FINGER BURNER HEIGHT IN, - a A JA 6” fue gr me) SMILE To do this, leave shipping screws in place that hold burner brackets to support channel in burner box (or else hold in place by hand) - and pull up on rear burner heads to raise their height.

Do not replace oven thermostats and valves for normal characteris- tics.

The production latch and handle assembly consists of a separate hook and plastic handle fastened together by a screw. A plastic trim piece is then glued over the handle to cover the screw. The hook is fastened in the door by a roll pin. All parts are cataloged as separate parts. LATCH HOOK TRIM (GLUE-ON) | Fi Wu (Tar + LL ae = . y PRODUCTION HANDLE 8: LATCH HOOK If only the handle is broken it can be replaced without door disassembly. If the hook is broken the door must be removed and disassembled to remove the roll pin. For repeat breakage problems, a special design break-proof handle is available for service — order WB 15x277 handle kit. Page H-8 The new handle kit consists of: ® One-piece handle and hook ® Roll pin ® Handle trim (‘’stick-on’’) ® Plastic inserts for door trim (matches new handle) To install the handle kit the door must be removed and disassembled to re- move the roll pin. DOOR TRIM (NOT PART OF KIT) ROLL PIN BOTTOM - INSERT NEW HANDLE & HOOK Install handle and replace original trim inserts with new parts supplied in kit. Attach handle trim to bottom of handle. MICROWAVE LEAKAGE TEST A microwave leakage test must be performed anytime a door is removed, replaced, disassembled, or adjusted for any reason. THE MAXIMUM LEAKAGE ALLOWED 1S 5MW/CM?. (Art No. WB1629) OVEN BURNER WILL NOT COME ON/PILOT GOES OUT (ROPER “K” MODELS) No oven ignition or oven pilot outage (top burner OK) problems are usu- ally caused by one of the following: ® Obstruction in oven pilot tubing — disconnect both ends and blow through tubing. Also check ends of tubing for burrs. ® Pilot gas restriction inside ther- mostat — can sometimes be cleared by rotating NAT-OFF-LP pilot select screw several times. If pilot flame still too small, replace thermostat. ® Defective oven valve — with ther- mostat turned “ON”, if elongated flame envelops sensor normally and valve does not open, replace valve. TOP BURNER — DELAYED IGNITION (ROPER К’ MODELS) Delayed ignition of top burners, on models with spark igniters, can be caused by mis-alignment of burner head. Check burner head position with re- spect to cooktop. Top of burner head should be 1/16”-3/16" below cooktop surface. Bend burner bracket if neces- sary, to adjust height. COOKTOP 1/16 — 3/16" BURNER DRIP TRAY u HEAD {Art No. WB1629) FIELD CORRECTIONS NO GAS FLOW REGULATOR BACKWARDS (ROPER “K”” MODELS) When a new range does not operate (oven and top burners) inspect the pressure regulator for proper instal- lation — it may be backwards. Check the gas flow arrow on the pressure regulator body — it should be pointed towards the range mani- fold. Another method for identifica- tion, if the arrow is not visible, is the location of the regulator vent. It should be on the range side of the regulator. Reinstall the regulator if backwards. ODOR — DURING OVEN USE Odors emitting from a new range’s oven should be considered normal. Often the odor will be described as a “burning”, “acid” or “oily” smell that is more intense when the ovenis turned on. This condition is more likely to be noticed when using a new range that has the self-clean feature as opposed to a model that has a standard oven. Self-cleaning ovens have a heavier blanket of insulation around the oven. During the produc - tion procedure, chemical solutions are used to aid in the installation of the insulation blanket and oven cav- ity. The odor caused by this solution will usually wear off in a very short time. To speed the process, the con- sumer may set-up a self-clean cycle lasting a minimum of 3 hours. The 3 hour self-clean will “break-in” the oven faster than normal baking rou- tines. ** These odors are not harmful to any foodthat happens to be in or onthe oven!
