Heartland 3800 User Manual

The cooktop was carefully set up and
inspected at the factory but some final
adjustments may be necessary once the unit is
installed.
Important: ensure burner rings are assembled
properly

1.

First, check to ensure there are no gas
leaks.  Propane and natural gas have a
very distinct odour which is easily detected
by the human nose.  If in doubt, soak each
pipe joint with soapy water and look for
bubbles.  Do not use an open flame for
testing.

2.

Check that all controls are operating
properly  by lighting each of the burners.
Turn the burners on by pushing in and
turning counter clockwise.  Test them on
low, medium, and high settings.

3.

Check the quality of the flame.  The
burners should have a steady, relatively
quiet flame with a ½” (13mm) sharp blue
inner cone.  There should be no yellow
flame.  The outer flame should have a 2
½” (64mm) sharp blue cone. (see fig 11)
If random sparking occurs after the burner
lights or there is uneven flame from the
burner or there is  a flame from under the
burner trim ring, (see fig 11) the cause is
the brass burner ring is not properly
positioned on the burner base.  Please
refer to page 16 for proper burner
assembly . Some ticking is normal from
time to time.

You should now be “cooking with gas”.  If not,
refer to the gas trouble shooting section later
in this manual.
