When converting to alternative
types of gas (LP gas) or back to
Natural gas, the main jet and the
small jets of the burner must be
changed.

Turn off the gas main (if this ap-
pliance has already been installed),
turn off the electrical supply and
pull out the plug.

Remove the wok/pan support, the
large burner cap, the burner ring
and the large burner cap base.

With a philipeshead screwdriver,
loosen the three screws.

Pull the controls for the gas burner
up and off.

Carefully raise the cooktop cover
slightly at the rear and pull forward.
Then carefully lift upwards and for-
wards. Ensure that the ground lead
which connects the cooktop and the
control panel is not damaged.

Screw in the new jets following the
table. The gas cooktop unit is sup-
plied ready equipped for natural
gas; the appropriate gas jet kit for cy-
linder gas, LPG (Liquefied Petro-
leum), is supplied with the appliance.
