Installation requirements Gas supply requirements Provide adequate gas supply Be sure to supply your cooktop with the gas for which it is designed. Do not try to convert the cooktop to receive a different type of gas without consulting the gas supplier. This cooktop converts to natural or propane gas. For LP gas, conversion must be made by a qualified installer before operating the cooktop. For proper natural-gas operation, the pressure supplied to the regulator must be 5 – 13 in.
Electrical requirements WARNING The owner shall ensure the electrical service meets electrical requirements and that the electrical outlet is properly installed by a licensed electrician. • To reduce risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury: - Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug with this cooktop. - The power cord has an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. - Ensure a properly grounded outlet is installed by a qualified electrician.
Installation instructions Installing your gas cooktop IMPORTANT: Carefully read these instructions and the Important Safety Instructions section at the front of this manual BEFORE installing/operating the cooktop. Improper installation, adjustment, service, or maintenance can lead to personal injury and property damage. NOTE To ensure proper installation, you should hire a qualified professional. Unpacking the cooktop 1. Remove all packaging material. 2.
Connecting the gas supply 1. Shut off the main gas-supply valve before disconnecting the old cooktop. 2. Complete the gas hookup. 3. Open the gas valve, and relight the burners on any other gas appliances. NOTE Because hard piping restricts movement of the cooktop, use a CSA International-certified flexible metal appliance connector unless local codes require hard piping.
Installation instructions Never install an old connector on a new cooktop. For hard piping, carefully align the pipe; the cooktop cannot be moved once the connection is made. To prevent gas leaks, apply pipe-joint compound or wrap pipe-thread tape with Teflon on all male (external) pipe threads. 1. Attach the provided gas-pressure regulator to the cooktop pipe nipple inlet. (For tight installations, the regulator may be installed upstream from the nipple, anywhere between the shut-off valve and the cooktop.
Checking for gas leaks WARNING To prevent an explosion/fire hazard possibly leading to personal injury or death, DO NOT use a flame to check for gas leaks. When using pressures above 1/2 psig to test the home gas-supply system, disconnect the cooktop and individual shut-off valve from the gas-supply piping. When using pressures of 1/2 psig or less to test the gas-supply system, isolate the cooktop from the system by closing the individual shut-off valve. 1.
Installation instructions Assembling the cooktop burners CAUTION • • • Ensure all burner parts are in place before operating the cooktop burners. Do not push in any cooktop controls while removing the burner; you might receive an uncomfortable electrical shock. Do not touch one burner's electrode while another burner is on. 1. Put the burner heads on their bases as shown at left. (The electrodes fit in the slot in the bottom of the heads.) The heads should be flat and parallel to the cooktop. 2.
Dual Burner head / caps 1. Orient the burner head so the opening for the electrode aligns with the electrode. 2. Install the burner head so the electrode passes through its opening in the head. Ensure the burner head lies flat on the stove top. 3. Match the burner caps to the burners by size, then install the caps on the heads.
Installation instructions NOTE • • For NG For LP Round Burner head / caps The included dual burner head is not a substitute. One is for LP gas and the other is for LN gas. Use appropriate gas type. - Dual burner head for LP gas is packed with a plastic bag. - The letter "For LP" or "For NG" is engraved on the dual burner head. LP burner head also can be found by the number of holes. - The burner head with 14 holes in a quadrant is for LP gas use.
Verifying burner function After the cooktop is fully installed, connected, assembled, and plugged in, verify burner function. Perform this procedure for each burner in turn. To turn on a cooktop burner 1. Push in, and turn a burner control knob to the "Lite" position (flame icon). A "click-click-click...” indicates the electronic ignition system functions. The burner ignites in about 4 seconds , after air is purged from the gas line.) 2. Turn the knob to the desired setting.
Installing the grates NOTE For best results and longest life, install the grates as instructed below. When installed properly, the openings in the grates are centered over the burners. The three grates occupy specific positions on the cooktop. For maximum stability and safe operation, these grates should only be used in their proper positions. The back of the right grate is notched to help orient the grates correctly. (See the graphic below.) To correctly position the grates: 1.
Installation instructions Final installation checklist WARNING The owner shall be responsible for the cooktop's proper installation. After installing the cooktop, the installer should review this checklist to confirm the cooktop is properly installed and ready to operate. • • • • • • The gas line is properly connected to the cooktop. The gas is turned on. All connections were checked for leaks. The cooktop is properly plugged in to a grounded electrical outlet.
