Installation Instructions Before Installing Making the Gas Connection - All Models Installing the gas cooktop in compliance with local electrical and gas building codes results in proper operation and consumer satisfaction with the cooktop. Verify the cooktop installation meets local codes or current American Gas Association requirements in the absence of local codes.
Installation Instructions Pressure Testing the Gas Supply Piping System Disconnect the cooktop from the house gas supply piping system during any pressure test exceeding 1/2 psig (3.5kPa). Example One 1. Remove pressure regulator cap with a 7/8-inch wrench. 2. Remove plastic insert from cap. Insert fits tightly in cap. 3. Reverse plastic insert. Push firmly into hole in cap. 4. Verify insert fits tightly in hole. Do not disturb spring in regulator body. 5. Replace cap in regulator body.
Installation Instructions Converting Burners to LP Gas All Models Universal units have double coaxial orifices sized for natural gas. Converting these orifices requires tightening the orifice hood as described below. 1. Remove grates, burner caps, knobs and control panel. 2. Remove or lift up maintop. 3. Remove venturi assemblies. Orifice hoods become accessible. 4. Turn clockwise each orifice hood approximately 1-1/2 to 2 turns. Orifices should fit snugly on the pins.
Installation Instructions A proper flame is set by adjusting the air shutters for each burner. Air shutter adjustment is described below. 1. Remove grates, burner caps, knobs and control panel. 2. Remove or lift up maintop. 3. Loosen lock screw on air shutter. 4. Opening air shutter increases air to flame. Closing air shutter decreases air to flame. 5. Replace maintop, control panel, burner caps, knobs, and grates.
Installation Instructions Above a Drawer Allow a three inch clearance between the top of countertop and the top of a drawer or any other cabinet feature beneath the cooktop. There must be enough clearance to accommodate the pressure regulator and make adjusting the regulator easier. 21" 29-1/2" 2-7/8" Placing Unit in Countertop 1. Set unit into countertop cutout. 2. Center burner box in cutout. 3. The burner box’s front edge and the edge of countertop must be parallel. 4.
Installation Instructions Placing Unit in Countertop Unpack all parts. Access the burner compartment by removing the maintop as follows: 1. Remove top grates, burner bowls and burner knobs. 2. Unlatch maintop from burner box by pressing down on four release catches located inside burner openings as shown. Installation Notes RTP201 and RPT203 Models Countertop Cutout Prepare countertop opening for these models as illustrated below.
Installation Instructions Clearances Observe the following clearances to safely operate the cooktop. • Side by side cooktops - 5-7/8 inches, measured from the side flanges of the maintops. • Rear wall - 1- 3/8 inches • Right side wall - 1/4 inch • Left side wall - 5-7/8 inches Installation Notes RTP302, RTP304, RTP305, RTP306, and RTP307 Models Countertop Cutout Cut countertop opening for unit according to dimensions illustrated below.

Operating Instructions Using the Cooktop Using a Wok • Use Proper Pan Size Use cooking utensils with flat bottoms large enough to cover the flame. Correct-sized utensils improve cooking efficiency and promotes safety. Undersized utensils expose clothing and spillovers to direct flame. • Never Leave Surface Units Unattended At high heat settings, boilovers can cause smoking or fire. • Glazed Cooking Utensils Use glass, glass/ceramic, earthenware or other glazed utensils for cooking.
Operating Instructions Top Burner Settings Check the burner for correct flame size and shape. Set burner on LOW. Adjust flame to approximately 1/4 inch length. Turn flame from LOW to HIGH several times to verify that burner stays lit. The flame should be soft. There should be no blowing or lifting. Using Cooktop During Power Failure Although the system used to light the burner is electric, the burner can be used during prolonged power outages. Follow the instructions below. 1.
Operating Instructions Sealed Burners Clean burners with a damp cloth and warm soapy water. A nonabrasive cleaner or pad may be used. Verify that burner ports are not blocked. Open Head Burners Open head burners can be removed for cleaning. Maintop and burners must be cool before cleaning. 1. Remove grates. Lift or remove maintop. 2. Grasp burners at burner head. Lift upward and away. Do not block the small slot above the ignitor. A blocked slot results in poor burner ignition.
Troubleshooting Procedures In the following procedures, correct gas pressure should be first determined (natural or LP gas). Problem 1. Burner will not ignite. 2. Burners will not ignite. “Spark” at top burner ignitors. Probable Cause • Top pilots not lighted, or ignitors not operating. • Orifice hoods are clogged. • Burner venturi, burner cap or burner ignition ports clogged. • Burner venturi, burner cap or burner ignition ports clogged. • Air shutters out of adjustment.
Troubleshooting Procedures Spark Module (Models RTP306 and RTP307) Gas Pressure and Measurement The spark module for the automatic pilotless ignition (spark) system on models RTP306 and RTP307 is located at the bottom rear of the unit. It is housed in the electrical box. The module is accessed by removing two screws holding the electrical box to the unit, which detaches the electrical box. Disconnect electrical power before attempting to remove the box.
Disassembly Procedures ! Pilot Fittings (Applicable Models) 1. Remove maintop. 2. Turn pilot gas off at pilot adjusting screw. 3. Remove tubing nut at pilot assembly. 4. Remove pilot shield on channel and cone in pilot cup. 5. Pilot assembly can be removed from the bottom. 6. When replacing the pilot, verify that the tubing connection on pilot assembly faces toward pilot tubing. 7. Open and adjust pilot adjusting screw. WARNING To avoid risk of electrical shock, serious personal injury or death.
Disassembly Procedures Spark Module Removal 1. Disconnect unit from electrical power source. 2. Remove electrical box cover secured by two screws. 3. Disconnect lead wires to the spark module and remove. 4. Reverse procedure to reassemble. When installing spark module, verify that lead wires are correctly connected to the unit. See spark module wiring diagram located beneath unit. Burner Ignitor Switches 1. Disconnect electric and gas supplies. 2. Remove diecast burners. (See Diecast Burners, section.) 3.
