This cooktop is designed to operate on natural
gas at 4″ of water column manifold pressure and
7″ of water column (W.C.) supply pressure. It is
shipped from the factory set for natural gas. The
convertible pressure regulator supplied with the
unit must be connected in series with the manifold
of the cooktop and must remain in series with the
supply line regardless of whether natural or L.P.
gas is being used. 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″ W.C.. (or 3.4 KPA)
greater than the regulator output setting. If
the regulator is set for 4″ W.C. of water column
pressure, the inlet pressure must be at least 5″ W.C.
If the regulator is set for 10″ W.C., the inlet pressure
must be at least 11″ W.C.. The gas supply line to
the cooktop should be 1/2″ or 3/4″ pipe.

Before testing for leaks, make sure all burner knobs
are in the OFF position.
After connecting the cooktop to gas, check system
for leaks with a manometer. If a manometer is not
available, turn the gas supply on to the cooktop
and use a liquid leak detector at all joints and
connections to check for leaks.
Tighten all connections if necessary to prevent gas
leakage in the cooktop or supply line.
DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR
LEAKS!
Disconnect the cooktop and its individual shut-off
valve from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures
greater than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
Isolate the cooktop from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual shut-off valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply
system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2
psig (3.5 kPa).

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 appliance 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 appliance dealer.
(Please read carefully) FOR
PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
PROPERLY GROUNDED.
An adequate electrical supply and outlet must
be used to operate the electrical parts of your
cooktop.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which must
be used with a properly grounded 3-hole
outlet with a standard 120 Volt, 60 cycle AC
household current.
If you do not have a 3-hole grounded outlet,
have a qualified electrician change your old
one.
A grounding adaptor will be needed to convert
the old one until the outlet can be replaced.
This method is only temporary, and a qualified
electrician should test it to be sure it meets
requirements.
Where a standard 2-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it is the personal responsibility and
obligation of the customer to have it replaced with
a properly grounded 3-prong wall receptacle.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove
grounding prong from the cooktop cord. Failure
to provide proper polarization may create a
hazardous condition.
N
L
Insure proper
ground and
firm connection
before use
Disconnect all electrical
power at the main circuit breaker
or fuse box before installing.
9
For 15 amp circuit only. Do not use an adaptor
on a 20 amp circuit. Where local codes permit, a
TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly
grounded 2-prong wall receptacle by the use of a
UL-listed adaptor available at most hardware stores.
The larger slot in the adaptor must be aligned with
the large slot in the wall receptacle to provide proper
polarity in the connection of the power cord.
Attaching the adaptor ground
terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not
ground the appliance unless the screw is metal, and
not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded
through the house wiring. The customer should have
the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make
sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord from the
adaptor, always hold the adaptor with one hand. If
this is not done, the adaptor 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 situation where appliance power cord will be
disconnected frequently.
Do not use an adaptor plug in these situations
because disconnection of the power cord places
undue strain on the adaptor and leads to eventual
failure of the adaptor ground terminal. The customer
should have the 2-prong receptacle replaced with
a 3-prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified
electrician before using the appliance.
Ensure proper ground and firm
connection before use

The four cooktop grates are designed for specific
positions. For maximum stability, these grates
should only be used in their proper position: they
should not be interchanged. For your convenience,
the undersides of the left and right grates are
marked “OUTSIDE” and “INSIDE”. Make sure that the
side marked “OUTSIDE” is on the outer edge of your
cooktop.
Operation of the electric igniters should be checked
after the cooktop and supply line have been
carefully checked for leaks and
the cooktop has been connected to the electrical
power.
On models so equipped, check to be sure the
cooktop is in the UNLOCKED position.
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.
• The burner should light when gas is
available to the burner.
• Once the burner lights, it should be turned
out of the LITE position.
Try each valve separately until all burners
have been checked.
Cooktop Spark Ignition—When you turn
the cooktop knob to LITE, the spark igniter makes a
series of electric sparks (ticking sounds) which light
the burner. During a power failure, the burners will
not light automatically. In an emergency, a cooktop
burner may be lit with a match by following the
steps below.
Lighting gas burners with a
match is dangerous. You should match light the
cooktop burners only in
an emergency.
On models so equipped, check to be sure the
cooktop is in the UNLOCKED position.
Light a match and hold the flame near the
burner you want to light. Wooden matches
work best.
Push in and turn the control knob slowly. Be
sure you are turning the correct knob for the
burner you are lighting.
If the burner does not light within five seconds,
turn the knob off and wait one minute before trying
again.

the regulator and burner orifices must
be converted. The LP orifice spuds for
the cooktop burners can be located in the literature
package attached to the regulator.
The cooktop, as shipped from
the factory, is set for use with natural gas. If you
wish to use your cooktop with LP gas, you must
first replace the orifices and convert the pressure
regulator.
This conversion
must be performed by a qualified installer
or gas supplier in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions and all codes
and requirements of the authority having
jurisdiction. Failure to follow instructions could
result in serious injury or property damage. The
qualified agency performing this work assumes
responsibility for the conversion.

Turn all burners full on and check the flames.
They should be blue in color with some yellow
tipping at the ends of the flame. Foreign
particles in the gas line may cause an orange
flame at first, but this will soon disappear.
NOTE: For the 18,000 BTU/HR burner (on some
models) the cooktop burner knob should be
turned to the setting before the lowest setting.
This will ensure that the entire burner is
operating.
Turn the cooktop burner knob to the lowest
setting while observing the flame.
Adjust the low flame setting using the valve bypass
screw as follows:
Low-setting adjustments must be made with two
other burners in operation on a medium setting.
This prevents the low flame from being set too low,
resulting in the flame being extinguished when
other burners are turned on.
C
To adjust the flame, remove the knobs. Insert
a screwdriver through the access hole in valve
switch. Engage
adjustment screw in
valve. Refer to the
illustration below that
matches the adjustment
screw location for your
model.
• If the flames were too
small or fluttered, open
the valve more than
the original setting.
• If the flames blew
away from the burner,
close the valve more
than the original
setting.
Make the adjustment by slowly turning the
screw until flame appearance is correct.
Some models may contain a silicone shield
which covers the valve switch and access hole. A
flashlight may be required to locate the access hole. To
access the valve adjusting screw, push the screwdriver
through this shield. After adjustment,
, after
withdrawing the screwdriver.
Testing Flame Stability:
– Turn the knob from “HI” to the lowest
setting quickly. If the flame goes out
at the lowest setting, increase the
flame size and test again.
– With the burner on the lowest setting,
open and close the cabinet door
under the cooktop. If the flame is
extinguished by the air currents
created by the door movement,
increase the flame height and test
again.
Flame Recheck:
After the adjustment is made, turn all burners off.
Ignite each burner individually. Observe the flame
at the “HI” position. Rotate the valve to the lowest
setting and be sure that the flame size decreases
as the valve is rotated counterclockwise.
TO CONVERT THE COOKTOP BACK TO NATURAL
GAS, REVERSE THE STEPS UNDER MAKING THE LP
CONVERSION.
Once the conversion is complete and checked
ok, fill out the LP sticker and include your name,
organization and date conversion was made. Apply
the sticker near the cooktop gas inlet opening to
alert others in the future that this appliance has
been converted to LP gas. If converting back to
natural gas from LP, please remove the sticker so
others know the appliance is set to use natural gas.
