58300000182999_ARA_EN_A Page 11 of 64

3.2 Burner Characteristics

If one or more burner blows out, the respective igniter electrode automatically re-ignites the flame.

At each burner port the flame should burn completely around the burner cap.

It is normal to hear the following during burner operation:

A slight sound that is associated with gas combustion and ignition. There should not be a loud noise.

A clicking noise every time the gas cycles, coming from the solenoid valves of the two left burners

For LP gas, a slight “pop” sound may be heard at the burner ports a few seconds after the burner has been turned off

NOTE: If burner characteristics are not adequate, see Burner, Flame, and Ignition Troubleshooting, page 13.

3.2.1 Flame Characteristics

LP gas: Slight yellow tips on the primary flame cone are normal and may appear after a few minutes. The flame should be stable with no excessive noise or fluttering. Orange colored streaks in the flame are produced from burning airborne debris, which is normal at startup, and should dissipate in a few minutes (see Figure 8).

When the flame is properly adjusted, it should burn at each burner port, completely around the burner cap (see Figure 7).

NOTE: If flame characteristics are not adequate, see Burner, Flame, and Ignition Troubleshooting, page 13.

Figure 7: Burner Ports

3.3 Testing Burner Ignition

3.3.1 Testing Cooktop Burner Ignition

Ignition Hazard

Do not touch the cooktop burners when the igniters are sparking.

For each burner, push the control knob in and then turn counter-clockwise to HI. The igniter should produce a clicking sound as the burner is sparking, and the burner should light within four seconds.

3.3.1.1 Testing the HI Setting

Set the burner knob to HI, and observe flame characteristics (see Figure 8). If any burner flame burns primarily yellow, verify if the burner cap is positioned properly on the burner base, and then re-test. If flame characteristics do not improve, call Thermador technical support at (800) 444-9091.

3.3.1.2 Testing the SIM Setting

Set the burner knob to SIM. Make sure that the flame completely surrounds the burner. There should be a flame at each burner port and there should not be an air gap between the flame and the burner. If the flame does not extend completely around any of the burners, call Thermador technical support at (800) 444-9091.

3.3.1.3 Testing the XLO Setting

The left-front and left-back burners have the XLO feature. Set the burner knob to XLO and observe if the flame cycles correctly - on for approximately 8 seconds, and then off for 52 seconds of each minute.

3.3.2 Testing Bake Burner Ignition

Set the oven to BAKE at 350° F. After 30–75 seconds the burner should ignite and stay lit until 350° F is reached. Then it should shut off. From this point forward, the burner should cycle on and off to maintain the temperature.

NOTE: The air shutter for the bake burner is factory pre-set at a fully-opened position for all conditions, and doesn’t require adjustment.

3.3.3 Testing Broil Burner Ignition

Set the mode to BROIL. After 30–75 seconds the burner should ignite. The infrared ceramic broiler does not require any adjustment.

3.4 Manually Setting Burner Valves

Although pre-adjusted, if you need to set the XLO valves and standard valves for the lowest possible flame setting, then manually adjust the bypass screws on all valves.

3.4.1 Tools Needed

■ T-20 driver

■ A precision high-strength blade screwdriver, with 1/8 inch (3.0mm) wide, .020 inch (0.50mm) thickness tip should be used to reposition the bypass screws for minimum flow settings on manual valves.

3.4.2 Adjusting the Bypass Screws

1. Turn off electrical power by unplugging the power cord, or putting the circuit breaker in the OFF position.

2. Remove knobs from valve stems by slowly pulling knobs straight out, away from control panel.

3. Remove and retain the bezel mounting screw located to the right of the valve stem, using a T-20 driver (see Figure 9, page 13).

4. To engage the valve screw, insert the precision screwdriver with 1/8 inch blade into the same hole in the bezel that was created by the removal of the mounting screw (see Figure 10, page 13).

5. Turn the valve screw clockwise just until "bottom out" position is reached. Do not over-tighten the valve screw (see Figure 10).

NOTE: The two valves for XLO operation (farthest left on control panel) must be in the OFF position for proper access to the valve screws through clearance holes in the XLO potentiometers.

3.5 Burner, Flame, and Ignition Troubleshooting

3.5.1 Cooktop Burners – Burner and Flame Diagnostics

If a burner clicks (sparks) constantly, or if burner doesn’t light correctly and/or has inadequate burner/flame characteristics (per Burner Characteristics page 11 and Flame Characteristics page 11), then do the following:

Check if the manual shut-off valve is open and the unit is receiving gas (natural gas or liquid propane).

Check if the burner cap is properly aligned on the burner base.

Check if the burner port is open and not clogged or blocked.

Check if the igniter electrode is free from debris and is sparking.

If it is suspect that air is in the gas supply lines and system, you can purge the remaining air by operating one of the burners for several minutes.

Check if a fuse has blown or a circuit breaker has tripped.

For constant sparking, check wiring connections at ignition device and electrode, and also check grounding

Refer to the Ignition Diagnostics, page 14.

Call Thermador technical support at (800) 444-9091 for assistance if any burners fail to light, or any burners continue to burn yellow.

3.5.1.1 Uneven Flame Distribution & Flame Noise Diagnostics

If there is an uneven flame distribution around the burner ports and/or a loud noise emanating from the flame, it could be caused by bad combustion due to a misalignment of the gas jet assembly and Venturi tube. For optimal combustion, the jet needs to be centered inside of the Venturi tube. A misalignment of these two components can be caused by either the pedestal burner base and/or jet assembly not positioned correctly onto the maintop – resulting in a poor mixture of gas and air. Perform the following diagnostic steps:

3.5.1.1 Safety Practices for Element Diagnostics Observe all pertinent safety practices such as warnings, cautions and instructions contained in the Safety Precautions to Know Prior to Servicing section of this manual (page 5), throughout this manual, and the Installation Manual. Ensure compliance with all applicable codes.

3.5.1.2 Element Diagnostic Tips

General The electrical wiring diagram is located behind the kick panel of

the range (see Wiring Diagram, page 4).

Bake and broil modes cannot be operated simultaneously in any single oven cavity.

Resistance Reading You can perform a resistance reading on an element with the

electrical power to the range turned off.

Amperage Reading Bake mode: The power to the bake element cycles on and off at

pre-set intervals when the bake element is preheating (preheating indicator light is on) and also during regular bake cycle (after preheating). After preheating, the broil element is on for 4 seconds out of every 60 seconds for food browning.

Broil mode: Broil element remains on until reaching the maximum temperature, and cycles off and on to maintain that temperature.

Electric griddle element and hot surface igniters (HSIs):

Check either of element wires with an amp meter and amp clamp.

NOTE: Check the HSI at one of its wire connectors, as the gas burner (attached to HSI) will ignite.

NOTE: Although the HSI may be glowing, if not enough current is running through it, the safety valve may fail.

Alternatively, you can check the electric griddle element or HSIs from the L1 and L2 terminals at the terminal block.

Alternatively, you can check the electric griddle element or HSIs from the corresponding I/O relay terminals on the main control board. Keep in mind that you will have to remove the griddle in order to access the control board.

Temperature Reading

Do not remove the thermocouple prematurely when the oven is hot.

Test oven temperature using a thermometer with a thermocouple lead. If you leave the thermocouple in the oven during a speed clean cycle, keep in mind it will take a few hours before the oven is cool enough to retrieve the thermocouple.

Convection Bake For convection bake, you can visually inspect if the convection fan

is working. The convection fan only works after the preheating finishes, thus it may take less time to test the convection fan on the lowest bake convection setting.

5 FAULT CODES

When a fault is detected, this appliance will display a fault code (see Figure 20, on page 19). The fault codes are represented by the manner in which two blue LED indicators are blinking.

Depending on the range model, the blue LEDs that blink are located either horizontally or vertically on the control panel. The horizontal positioned blue LEDs (see Figure 17 and Figure 18) will first blink on the left and then the right, and the vertical positioned blue LEDs (see Figure 19) will first blink on the top and then the bottom.

For example, if the first LED blinks 4 consecutive times followed immediately by the second LED blinking 3 times, that represents a fault code of 43 on the chart (see Figure 20, on page 19).

8 CLEAN-UP

After you have finished servicing an appliance, clean up grease, fingerprints, and other residue that is present as the result of servicing the appliance.

Clean-up Hazards

Don’t allow any cleaning or polishing solutions/compounds, disinfectants or bleaches to remain in contact with the stainless steel surfaces for long periods, or after clean-up. These may contain chemicals or materials which could release harmful inhalants or may damage the appliance. After cleaning or polishing, always rinse the cleaning/polishing materials with clear water and wipe dry with a clean, soft, non-abrasive cloth.
