INSTALLATION GUIDE AND USER MANUAL
11
1.
In an easily accessible location, install a service manual gas shut-off valve. Be sure
everyone operating the rangetop knows where and how to shut off the gas supplied to the
rangetop.
2.
Use a flexible gas line to connect to the 1/2” fitting located at the bottom of the rangetop.
3.
When all connections have been made, be sure all rangetop controls are in the off position
and turn on the main gas supply valve. Check for gas leaks by using a 75% water and 25%
dish soap solution. If a gas leak is detected, shut off the gas immediately, tighten all
connections, and retest for leaks.
Any opening in the wall behind the appliance and in the floor under the appliance shall be
sealed.
GUIDELINES FOR USING THE RANGETOP
There are dual burners that have the same low turn-down setting (SIM) for gentle simmering
(620 BTU/hr.). Use the SIM setting for melting chocolate and butter, cooking rice and delicate
sauces, simmering soups and stews, and keeping cooked food hot.
Never leave the rangetop unattended during use. Boil overs may cause smokes and greasy
spills that may ignite.
Never allow the flames to extend beyond the bottom of the cookware and curl up from the sides.
This could discolor and damage the utensil and you may get burned touching a hot handle.
Keep the handles out of the way. Turn the handles so that they don’t extend over the edge of
the range or another burner that is on.
Take care when deep-frying. Oil or fat can overheat very quickly, particularly on a high setting.
Make sure that all burner parts are properly assembled. Incorrectly or incompletely assembled
burners may produce dangerous flames.
Always k
eep the burners clean. Especially after a spill or boil over, make sure to clean the
affected burners before the next use. Food residues may clog the igniter and the notches of the
flame spreader, stopping the burner from functioning correctly.
Check the color of the burner flames. It should be blue with no yellow tipping, and burn without
fluttering all around the burner cap.
If the flame is red or yellow, check:
o
if a wrong orifice is installed for the type of gas you are using;
o
if the orifice is clogged;
o
if the air shutter is sized improperly.
SURFACE BURNER IGNITION
To ignite the burner, push and turn the control knob counterclockwise to the “HI” position. You
will hear a clicking noise of the electric sparks igniting ALL the burners, but only that burner
should be lit up. Once the burner ignition has been achieved, turn the burner control knob to the
desired heat setting to begin cooking.
NOTE:
When one burner is turned to the “HI” position, the burner igniter will park. Do not attempt to
disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is in use. Do not touch any burner
cap, burner base, or igniter while the ignition is in progress.
