CONVERTING TO PROPANE GAS (OR CONVERTING BACK 
TO NATURAL GAS FROM PROPANE)

This cooktop leaves the factory set for use with natural gas. If you want to convert to 
propane gas, the conversion must be performed by a qualified propane gas installer.

The conversion orifices and instructions can be found attached to the regulator.

Keep these instructions and all orifices in case you want to convert back to natural gas.

WARNING

FIRE OR EXPLOSION 
HAZARD

If the information in these instructions is not 
followed exactly, a fire or explosion may 
result causing property damage, personal 
injury or death.

Installation must be performed by a qualified 
installer.

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

Installation of this product must conform with 
local codes, or in the absence of local codes, 
with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA.54, latest edition. In Canada, installation 
must conform with the current Natural Gas

  ELECTRICAL 

CONNECTIONS

WARNING

 

Shock Hazard: This 

appliance must be properly grounded. 
Failure to do so can result in electric shock.

Electrical Requirements - 

120-volt, 60 Hertz, 

properly grounded circuit protected by a 
15-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker or time delay 
fuse. It is recommended that a separate circuit 
serving only this cooktop be provided.

NOTE: 

Use of automatic, wireless, or wired 

external switches that shut off power to the 
appliance are not recommended for this product.

Grounding

The power cord of this appliance is equipped 
with a three-prong (grounding) plug which plugs 
into a standard three-prong grounding wall 
receptacle to minimize the possibility of electric 
shock hazard from this appliance.

The customer should have the wall receptacle 
and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to 
make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is 
encountered, it is the personal responsibility and 
obligation of the customer to have it replaced with 
a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, 
CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) 
PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD. DO 
NOT USE AN ADAPTER. DO NOT USE AN 
EXTENSION CORD.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI’s) are 
not required or recommended for gas cooktop 
receptacles. Performance of the cooktop will 
not be affected if operated on a GFCI-protected 
circuit but occasional nuisance tripping of the 
GFCI breaker is possible.

 CHECK SURFACE 

BURNERS

Push and turn a knob to the LITE position. A 
clicking sound indicates proper operation of 
the ignition system. When lighting any burner, 
sparks will appear at all burners but gas flows 
from only the one selected. Once air is purged 
from the supply line, burner should light within 
4 seconds. After burner lights, rotate the knob 
out of the LITE position. Try each burner in 
succession until all burners have been checked.

Quality of Flames

Determine the quality of flames visually. Normal 
burner flames should look like (A) or (B).

Long, bright yellow flames are not normal. 
Normal flames may show signs of an orange 
tint when well heated or signs of flickering 
orange due to particles in the gas or air.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

WARNING

 Before beginning the installation, switch power off at service panel and lock 

the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the 
service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such 
as a tag, to the service panel.

Ensure proper 
ground exists 
before use

WHEN ALL HOOKUPS ARE 
COMPLETED

Make sure all controls are left in the off 
position. Make sure the flow of combustion and 
ventilation air to the cooktop is unobstructed.

Check that all packing materials and tape have 
been removed. This will include adhesive tape, 
wire ties, cardboard and protective plastic. 
Failure to remove these materials could result 
in damage to the appliance once the appliance 
has been turned on and surfaces have heated.

  INSTALLING THE 

COOKTOP

WARNING

 Do not remove the 6 

black Z brackets screwed to the bottom of the 
cooktop (on some models).

A.  Locate electrical outlet and gas shut-off 

valve beneath cabinet.

B.  Lay cooktop upside down on a towel or 

tablecloth covered countertop.

C.  Locate and remove hold-down brackets 

from literature package.

D.  Attach brackets to cooktop. Remove the 

screw from the side of the cooktop and 
screw the hold-down bracket to the side of 
the cooktop unit. Repeat for opposite side 
of cooktop.

E.  Insert the cooktop centered into the cutout 

opening. Make sure the front edge of the 
countertop is parallel to the cooktop. 
Make final check that all required 
clearances are met.

     Once the unit is in place, screw the hold-

down bracket into the cabinet sides to 
secure the unit into place.

  GAS SUPPLY

WARNING

 

Fire Hazard: Do not use 

a flame to check for gas leaks.

WARNING

 

Explosion Hazard: Do 

not exceed 25 ft-lbs of torque when making 
gas line connections. Overtightening may 
crack the pressure regulator resulting in fire 
or explosion hazard.
Gas Pressure Regulator

You must use the gas pressure regulator supplied 
with this range. For proper operations the inlet 
pressure to the regulator should be as follows:

   Natural Gas:

  Minimum pressure: 6” of Water Column
  Maximum pressure: 13” of Water Column

   Propane Gas:

  Minimum pressure: 11” of Water Column
  Maximum pressure: 13” of Water Column
If you are not sure about the inlet pressure 
contact local gas supplier.

Shut off the main gas supply valve before 
disconnecting the old cooktop and leave it off 
until the new hook-up has been completed. 
Don’t forget to relight the pilot on other gas 
appliances when you turn the gas back on.

Because hard piping restricts movement of 
the range, the use of a CSA International-
certified flexible metal appliance connector is 
recommended unless local codes require a 
hard-piped connection. 
If the hard piping method is used, you must 
carefully align the pipe; the cooktop cannot be 
moved after the connection is made.

To prevent gas leaks, apply pipe joint compound 
or wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon* around all 
male (external) pipe threads. 

A.  Install provided regulator in the gas line 

between the cooktop and manual shut-off 
valve. Refer to the arrow on the back of the 
regulator for gas flow direction.  Ensure the 
front of the regulator is facing towards the 
cabinet front, easily accessible through the 
cabinet doors. 

B.  Install a manual shut-off valve in the gas line 

in a location easily accessible through the 
cabinet doors.

C.  When all connections have been made, 

ensure all gas controls are in the off position 
and turn on the main gas supply valve. 
Use a liquid leak detector at all joints and 
connections to check for leaks in the system.

When using pressures greater than 1/2 psig 
to pressure test the gas supply system of 
the residence, disconnect the cooktop and 
individual shut-off valve from the gas supply 
piping. When using pressures of 1/2 psig or 
less to pressure test the gas supply system, 
simply isolate the cooktop from the gas supply 
system by closing the individual shut-off valve.

When checking for proper operation of the 
regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1” 
greater than the operating (manifold) pressure 
as given on rating label of product.
