Connect Gas Supply
The appliance is shipped from the factory for use with
natural gas. It must be converted for use with propane.
A qualified technician or installer must do the
conversion.
Before connecting the appliance, please check
whether the local connection conditions such as gas
type and gas pressure match the appliance settings.
Make sure the gas supply is turned off at the manual
shut-off valve before connecting the appliance.
The gas connection must be in a location that permits
access to the manual shut-off valve and which, if
applicable, is visible after opening the door of the
cabinet.
SERVICER INFO ONLY
Connect the gas supply using the ½" U.S.A. elbow
and the fiber gasket supplied with the unit. The
shorter, nontapered thread fits into the threaded nut
on the hob. The longer, tapered U.S.A. thread is for
the incoming gas supply. Vent the gas line, check for
leaks. The gas pressure regulator is supplied with the
unit and comes set for natural gas. To convert
regulator to LP (propane) gas:

Connect Electrical Supply
Before connecting supply cord to wall receptacle,
make certain that gas shutoff valve and all burner
controls are in OFF position.
Electrical connection (AC 110-127 V) is established
by means of a connecting cord with a grounding
contact plug connected to a grounded socket, which
must also be accessible after installation of the gas
cooktop.
Burner Cap Placement
The burner parts must be properly placed for the
cooktop to function properly. If the burner parts are
not properly placed, one or more of the following
problems may occur:
▯
Burner flames are too high.
▯
Flames shoot out of burners.
▯
Burners do not ignite.
▯
Burner flames light unevenly.
▯
Burner emits gas odor.
Placing Burner Parts
After electrical connection is complete, assemble the
burner parts correctly and evenly. When assembling
the burner parts, make sure that the burner head is
placed on the base in such a way that the heat sensor
is positioned in the opening on the burner head. The
catching pin on the burner ring must fit in the
corresponding groove on the burner head
Checking Burner Cap Placement
Check to make sure that there is no gap between the
burner parts. You may gently try to move the burner
parts from side to side to check if they are properly
placed.
Check the Installation
Check operation of electric igniters. Check flame
characteristics. Flame should be blue with no yellow
tip.
Yellow Flames:
Further adjustment is required.
Yellow Tips on Outer Cones:
Normal for LPG Gas.
Soft Blue Flames:
Normal for Natural Gas.
If the flame is completely or mostly yellow, verify that
the regulator is set for the correct fuel. After
adjustment, retest.
Some yellow streaking is normal during the initial
start-up. Allow unit to operate 4-5 minutes and re-
evaluate before making adjustments.
