Advance Preparation

•For proper operation of a gas appliance, the air necessary for the combustion of the gas must be able to ow into the

room naturally. The air must ow into the room directly through openings in the outside walls. These openings must

have an unobstructed cross-section not less than 2m

/h for each kw of power (see total power in kw on the appliance).

•This opening must be constructed so that it will not be obstructed from inside or outside, or constructed close to the

oor. The opening is recommended to be on the side opposite to that on which the ue gases are discharged.

•Avoid placing cabinetry directly above cooktop when possible. If cabinetry is used above cooking surface, use

cabinets no more than 13” deep (see Figure 2).

•Working areas adjacent to the cooktop should have 18” minimum clearance between countertop and cabinet bottom.

•Make sure the wall coverings, countertop and cabinets around the cooktop can withstand heat (up to 200º F)

generated by the cooktop.

•Maintain 30” minimum clearance between cooktop surface and cabinets installed above the cooktop.

Provide an Adequate Gas and Electrical Supply

•Gas supply should be located near the opening for this cooktop and be a minimum of 1” from the back wall (see Figure

3). This cooktop is set for natural gas and is designed to operate at 5” water column pressure. The regulator is required

to provide a minimum of 6” water column to a maximum of 14” water column to the cooktop regulator.

STEP 5

Installing the Pressure Regulator

This cooktop is set for natural gas and is designed to

operate at 5” water column pressure. The gas supply is

required to provide a minimum of 6” to a maximum of 14”

water column pressure to the cooktop regulator.

If the cooktop is converted for liquid petroleum (LP) gas, the

LP gas supply is required to provide a minimum of 10” to a

maximum of 14” water column to the cooktop regulator.

The pressure regulator must be connected in series with the

manifold of the cooktop and must remain in series with the

supply line regardless the type of gas being used.

Installation

WARNINGS:

•Neverreuseoldflexibleconnectors.Theuseof

old flexible connectors can cause gas leakage and

personal injury. Always use new flexible connectors

when installing a gas appliance. To reduce the

possibility of gas leakage, apply Teflon tape or a

thread compound approved for use with LP or Natural

gases to all threaded connections.

WARNINGS:

•Thegassupplylinemustbeequippedwithan

approved manual shut-off valve. In an easily

accessible location in the same room as the cooktop.

Do not block access to the shutoff valve. Be sure you

know how and where to shut off the gas supply to

the cooktop. Install the electrical outlet 12” below the

countertop (see Figure 8).

Figure 8

The gas inlet is located on the bottom of the cooktop

at the rear and 8 ½” from the right hand edge of the

cooktop. Make gas connection through rear wall, or

on cabinet oor at rear. Install the house gas supply at

least 1” from the back wall.

When installing, t a safety tap at the end of the

pipeline. The appliance leaves the factory tested and

set for natural gas. Make sure that the type of gas

to be supplied to the appliance is the same as that

shown on the label afxed to the underside of the

cooktop.

Make the connection to the gas system using a

rigid ½” or ¾” metal pipe and regulation unions, or

with a stainless-steel hose complying with the local

standard. If metal hoses are used, take care that

they do not come into contact with mobile parts and

are not crushed. This must also be checked if the

cooktop is to be combined with an oven.

The gas intake connection of the appliance has

a “male thread.” When making the connection,

take care not to apply stresses of any kind to the

appliance. Over-tightening may crack the regulator

resulting in a gas leak and possible re or explosion

(see Figure 9).

Once regulator is in place, open the shutoff valve in

the gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gas to

move through the gas line.

After connecting the cooktop to the gas supply,

make sure all burners knobs are in the OFF position

and check the system for leaks with a manometer. If

a manometer is not available, turn on the gas supply

and use a liquid leak detector (or soap and water) at

all joints and connections to check for leaks.

cap or touch the electrode of a burner while another is turned on. Damage or electrical shock may occur.

STEP 7

Assembling the Burners

Place burner heads over the burner base. Make sure

the hole in the burner head is properly aligned with

the electrode in the burner base (see Figure 11).

Place the burner caps on the burner heads. Make

sure that the burner caps are properly seated on the

burner head (see Figure 12).

Operation of the electric igniters should be tested

after the cooktop and supply line have been

carefully checked for leaks and the cooktop has

been connected to the electrical power. To check

igniters, push and turn a burner valve to the LITE

position. All spark igniters will make a series of

sparks (ticking sounds), but only the burner turned

to LITE will light.

STEP 8 (Continued)

Liqueed Petroleum (Propane)

Gas Conversion

Adjust Burner Flames

Turn all burners on highest setting and check the

ames. They should be blue in color and may have

some yellow tipping at the ends of the ame when

using LP gas. Foreign particles in the gas line may

cause an orange ame at rst, but this will soon

disappear.

Turn the cooktop burner knob to “LO” while

observing the ame.

Adjustments must be made with two other burners

in operation on a medium setting. This prevents the

upper row of ames from being set too low, resulting

in the ame being extinguished when other burners

are turned on.

•To adjust the ame, remove the knobs, insert a screwdriver

through the access hole in valve shaft as shown (see Figure

22). Make the adjustment by slowly turning the screw until

ame appearance is correct.

•If the ames are too small or uttered, open the valve more

than the original setting.

•If the ames are too large, close the valve more than the

original setting.

Testing Flame Stability

Test 1——Turn the knob from “HI” to “LO” quickly. If the upper row of ames goes out at this setting, increase the ame size and

test again.

Test 2——With the burner on “LO”, open and close the cabinet door under the cooktop. If the ame is extinguished by the air

currents created by the door movement, increase the ame height and test again.

Flame Re-Check

After the adjustment is made, turn all burners off. Ignite each burner individually. Observe the ame at the “HI” position. Rotate

the knob to the lowest setting and be sure that the ame size decreases as the knob is rotated counter-clockwise.

WARNINGS:

Once the conversion has been completed and has passed testing, fill out the conversion sticker and include your name,

organization and the date conversion is made. Apply the sticker near the cooktop gas inlet opening to alert others in the

future that this appliance has been converted. If converting back to Natural Gas, please remove the sticker so others know

that the appliance is set to use its original gas.

Flame Size

WARNING:

Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the

utensil (see Figure 23). A higher flame simply wastes

heat and energy, and increases your risk of being

burned by the flame.

Proper Burner Adjustments

•The color of the ame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good ame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-

lighted room. Each cone of ame should be steady and sharply dened. Adjust or clean burner if ame is yellow-orange.

To clean burners, see instructions under Care and Cleaning.

Operation

Placement of Burner Heads and Caps

For all burners:

•Place a burner cap on each burner head (see Figure

25), matching the cap size to the head size. The cap for

each burner has an inner locating ring which centers

the cap correctly on the burner head. Be sure that all

the burner caps and burner heads are correctly placed

BEFORE using your appliance.

•Make sure each burner cap is properly aligned and level

(see Figure 26).

Surface Cooking Utensils

•For lower gas consumption and better efciency: Use only at-bottomed pans of

dimensions suitable for the burners, as shown in the table below. Check for atness

by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the pan. There should be no gaps between

the pan and ruler. As soon as a liquid comes to a boil take care to turn the ame down to a

level that will just keep it simmering.

•Specialty pans (lobster pots and pressure cookers) may be used but must conform to the

recommended cookware requirements.

WARNING:

Turn the burner on to determine if it will light. If the

burner does not light, contact a qualified service

center. Do not service the sealed burner yourself.

WARNING:

During cooking processes involving fats or oils, watch your foods carefully because these substances may catch fire if

brought to high temperatures.

Operation

To Operate the Surface Burners

Knob Symbols

Lighting the Burners

To obtain a ame more easily, light the burner before placing a cooking utensil on the

burner grate.

To light a burner, press the knob of the burner fully down and turn it anti-clockwise to the “maximum ow” setting

symbol:

After lighting the ame, keep the knob pressed down for about 10 seconds. This is necessary to heat up the

thermocouple and activate the safety valve, which would otherwise cut off the gas ow.

Then check that the ame is even and turn the control knob to adjust the ame as required:

In the instance of a power outage, place a lit match near the burner and proceed as already described. If the burner

does not light after a few attempts, check that the “burner cap” and “ame cap” are correctly positioned.

Toturnofftheame,turnthecontrolknobclockwisetothe:•symbol.Beforeremovingpansfromtheburners,

WARNING:

Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the cooktop

when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wood spoons could catch fire if placed too

close to a flame.

Setting Surface Controls

Regardless of size, always select a utensil that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner

and ame size appropriate to the pan. Never allow ames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.
