STEP 10 Perform Leak Tests
10-1 Make sure that all knobs on the front of the
cooktop are in the off position.
10-2 With electrical power to the cooktop
disconnected, open the LPG supply valve.
10-3 Using a gas leak detector or bubble forming leak
detection fluid, check the following for leaks:
•
LPG gas supply connection
•
All manifold connections
•
All valve connections
•
Bypass orifices
10-4 Re-assemble the burner heads, burner head
nuts, burner rings, and burner caps without the
spill tray in place. Be sure the igniter wire is
connected for each burner head.
10-5 Inspect all of the burner heads and verify that
the igniter for each head has not become
dislodged during re-assembly (see Figure 10-1
for the correct igniter orientation).
10-6 Connect the cooktop to the electrical outlet.
10-7 Turn each burner on HIGH, one at a time.
Check for leaks around the valves (including the
bypass orifice) and the burner lines.

STEP 11 Perform Flame Tests
11-1 Turn each burner on HIGH and then off again,
several times. The igniter on each burner should
spark 2 to 5 times a second. If any of the
igniters do not spark as specified, contact the
factory. If the flame does not light repeatedly
and rapidly, check for obstructions between the
igniter and the burner head (see Figure 10-1).
11-2 Make sure that the flame:
•
Is stable.
•
Does not waver or lift up from the burner.
•
Is predominately blue in color.
•
Is not predominately yellow at the tips.
If the flame does not have the correct appearance, check the shutter gap settings (see STEP 9). Contact the
factory if adjusting the air shutters does not correct the problem.
