Installation Instructions
Verifying the Correct Setup
WARNING
• Make sure that power to the electrical outlet is turned
off at the circuit breaker panel or fuse box and that
the gas is turned off at the gas supply valve before
proceeding.
• The cooktop must be properly grounded at all times
when electrical power is applied.
Prior to using the cooktop, read the accompanying
Use
and Care Manual
carefully.
1. Make sure all the cooktop burner controls are in the
OFF
position.
2. Plug the power cord to an electrical outlet.
3. Turn the power ON to the electrical outlet at the circuit
breaker or fuse box.
4. Press and turn ONE burner control knob slowly
left
to
the
HIGH
position. Verify that the associated burner
igniter
sparks
, and the burner indicator lights. Then
return the knob to the
OFF
position. Repeat for all of
the remaining control knobs.
5. Turn gas supply valve ON.
6. Perform this
IGNITION TEST
on all burners:
• Press and turn the control knob slowly
left
to the
HIGH
position. Only the selected burner will spark.
It may take up to four seconds for the burner to
ignite
, at which time the igniter will stop sparking.
If ignition does not occur within four seconds, turn
the knob OFF, wait for at least five minutes to allow
any gas to dissipate, then repeat this step.
• Once the burner lights, rotate the control knob
from
HIGH
toward
LOW
to adjust the flame height.
SimmerSear™ burners:
turn the control knob to
the simmer setting, and make sure the low-level
flame can be adjusted. Make sure the burner indi-
cator lights.
• When the unit is installed correctly, the flame will
burn steadily. It will have a sharp, blue inner cone
that will vary in length proportional to the burner
size. The flame will be reduced by the Smart
Flame™ feature under the grate fingers to increase
the life of the grate.
Correct Flame Appearance
NOTE: If the cooktop does not function correctly, fol-
low these troubleshooting steps:
• Verify that power and gas are supplied to the cooktop.
• Check to make sure that the power cord is connected
to an electrical outlet and that power is turned on at the
circuit breaker, fuse box, or light switch.
• Check to make sure that all the burners are correctly
assembled and seated.
• If the burner continues sparking after ignition, have a
licensed electrician check the electrical outlet for cor-
rect grounding or reversed polarity.
• Repeat the IGNITION TEST (Step 6).
