With a gas range that has a bracket covering <br />the flame sensor, simply bend the bracket out of the way to look for the wires. Wires <br />indicate a non -mercury electronic flame sensor. Note that ranges without a mercury <br />flame sensor may be sent for scrap metal processing after making sure there are no <br />fluorescent backlighting or PCBs. If you see a capillary tube in the range, move on <br />to Step 4. <br />l: <br />
