Installation requirements Gas supply requirements Provide adequate gas supply This appliance is designed to operate at a manifold pressure of 5 in (13 cm) of water column on natural gas or 10 in (25 cm) of water column on LP gas (propane or butane). Make sure you are supplying your appliance with the type of gas for which it is designed. When checking for proper operation of the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1 in (2.5 cm) greater than the operating (manifold) pressure as given.
Special gas requirements (gas models sold in Massachusetts) COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS REQUIREMENTS: WARNING • • • • Gas leaks may occur in your system, creating a dangerous situation. - Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone. - Gas suppliers recommend installing a UL-approved gas detector according to manufacturer specifications. The appliance must be installed by a plumber or gas fitter certified by the State of Massachusetts.
Installation requirements Rangetops - All gas models are equipped with a power cord with an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. - All gas models in the US and Canada require a 120 V, 60-Hz, AC, approved electrical service with 20-amp circuit breaker or time-delay fuse. NOTE Re-ignition may malfunction if the voltage between Neutral and Ground is over 20 VAC. Make sure the voltage is under 20 VAC. Grounding • • • • • • All rangetops must be grounded for personal safety.
Installation instructions Installing your rangetop IMPORTANT: Carefully read these instructions and the Important Safety Instructions section at the front of this manual BEFORE installing/operating the rangetop. 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 rangetop 1. Remove all packaging material. (Failure to do so could damage the appliance.) 2.
Installation instructions Connecting the gas supply 1. Shut off the main gas-supply valve before disconnecting the old rangetop. 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 appliance, use a CSA International-certified flexible metal appliance connector unless local codes require hard piping.
Never install an old connector on a new appliance. For hard piping, you need to carefully align the pipe; the appliance cannot be moved after 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 rangetop pipe nipple inlet. (For tight installations, the regulator may be installed upstream from the nipple, anywhere between the shut-off valve and the rangetop.
Installation instructions 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 appliance 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 rangetop from the system by closing the individual shut-off valve. 1.
Assembling the rangetop burners CAUTION • • • Do not operate the rangetop burners without all burner parts in place. Do not push in any rangetop controls while removing the burner; a slight electrical shock might result, perhaps causing you to knock over hot cookware. Do not risk electric shock by removing the top or touching the electrode of any burner while another burner is on. 1. Place the burner heads on the burner bases as shown at left. (The electrodes fit in the slot in the bottom of the heads.
Installation instructions 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.
Round Burner head / caps 1. Put the burner heads on the burner bases as shown at left. The bottom of the head fits within the burner base. 2. Turn the head until it drops into place. Twist the head back and forth slightly to ensure it is properly seated. 3. Put the burner caps (brass or porcelain) atop the burner heads. The ridge around the bottom edge of the cap fits around the top of the burner head. CAUTION Ensure all burner components (heads and caps) rest flat and snugly in place.
Installation instructions SimmerSear Burner Assembly (18K BTU Burner) Burner head Locating tab 1. Put the burner heads in place as shown below. The locating tab on the burner head goes in the keyed hole as shown. Burner base Keyed hole Burner ring Tabs Slots Installation instructions Ridge on bottom of burner cap 2. Put the burner rings on the burner heads as shown below. Match the tabs on the bottom of the ring to the slots on the burner head.
Verifying burner function After the cooktop is fully installed, connected, assembled, and plugged in, check the function of all burners. To turn on a cooktop burner OFF M LO HI 1. Push in, and turn a burner control knob to flame symbol. (A “clicking” sound indicates the electronic ignition system is functional. The burner ignites about 4 seconds later, after the air is purged from the gas line.) 2. After the burner ignites, turn the knob to the desired setting.
Installation instructions Checking flame quality All burner flames must be visually checked to assess their quality. CAUTION If you want measure the flame, take care to avoid burn injuries. 1 2 1. Soft blue flames—Normal for natural gas operation. 2. Yellow tips on outer cones—Normal for LP gas operation. 3. Yellow flames—Abnormal for any gas operation; call for service. NOTE 3 Installation instructions 40 English If the burner flame looks like Example 3, call for service, and do not use the cooktop.
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 grates occupy specific positions on the rangetop. 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 • • To ensure a safe, proper installation, the installer should complete this checklist to ensure the installation was proper and complete. The owner shall be responsible for the rangetop's proper installation, the importance of which cannot be overstated. After installing the rangetop, ensure all control knobs are OFF. Review this checklist to confirm the rangetop is properly installed and ready to operate.
