Conversion Petroleum (Propane) Gas Conversion
The cooktop can be used with Natural Gas or Propane Gas. It is shipped from the factory for use with natural gas.
If you wish to convert your appliance for use with LP/Propane gas, use the supplied fixed orifices located in a bag containing the literature
marked, "FOR LP/PROPANE GAS CONVERSION". Follow the instructions package with the orifices.
The conversion must be performed by a qualified service technician 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.
Severe shock or damage to the appliance may occur if the appliance is not installed by a qualified installer.
Flame Size
For most cooking , start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to complete the
process. Use a chart below as a guide for determining proper flame size for various types of cooking. The size
and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for
cooking.
For deep fat frying , use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob accordingly. If the fat is too
cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the
center will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither
brown or cook properly.
* These settings are based on using medium thickness aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary
when using other types of pans.
Type of Cooking
Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling
Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steam
Keep foods cooking; poach; stew
*Flame Size
High Flame
Medium Flame
Low Flame
Never extend the flame
beyond the outer edge of
the utensil. A higher
flame simply wastes heat
and energy, and increases
your risk of being burned
by the flame.
