Surface Burners
for use with LP/Propane
Gas:
_
Unlike the standard
gas range, THIS COOKTOP
IS
NOT REMOVABLE.
Do not attempt to remove this cooktop.
Save the natural
gas orifices
removed from the appliance
for possible
future conversion back to natural gas.
For all burner
locations:
a. Remove Burner Grates & Burner Caps.
b. Use your hand to remove the Burner Heads.
c. Remove 4 factory installed natural gas orifices from the center of the
orifice holders using a 7 mm nutdriver
(See Fig. 6).
d. Replace the orifice in each of the 4 orifice holders with kit supplied
LP/Propane gas orifice (refer to the LP Kit chart listed on page 1 ;also
refer to Fig, 5 for the correct
LP orifice
installation
at each of the
4 surface
burner
locations).
Tighten
each orifice until snug. Use
CAUTION
not to overtighten.
e. Replace all the burner Heads & Caps.
Match the letter located under
center of Burner Cap with letters located inside the Burner Heads (See
Figs. 4 & 5).
f. Match the letter stamped on the Burner Skirt with the Burner Head and
Burner Cap. Each of the 4 Burner Heads MUST have a Burner Cap
installed to insure proper ignition and gas flame size. Note: The Burner
Electrodes
must be located properly in slot of each Burner Head (See
Fig. 4).
Use caution when
replacing each
burner cap so the
electrode is not
damaged.

Locate the oven burner spud (See Fig. 7).
b.
Using a 1/2" wrench, turn down the adjustable spud, which injects gas
into the oven burner, until snug against the LP/Propane metering pin
(approximately
2-1/2 turns). Do not over tighten.

Checking
Manifold
Gas Pressure
If it should be necessary to check the manifold gas pressure, remove the
burner and connect a manometer
(water gauge) or other pressure device
to the top right front burner orifice. Using a rubber hose with inside diameter
of approximately
1/4," hold tubing down tight over orifice.
Turn burner
valve on. For an accurate
pressure
check, have at least two (2) other
surface burners burning. Be sure the gas supply (inlet) pressure is at least
one inch above
specified
range
manifold
pressure.
The gas supply
pressure should never be over 14" water column. When properly adjusted
the manifold water column pressure
is 10" for LP/Propane
gas or 4" for
Natural gas.
Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks.
a.
Disconnect
the range and its individual
shut-off valve from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure
testing of that system at
test
pressures
greater
than
14" of water
column
pressure
(approximately
1/2" psig).
b.
The appliance
must be isolated from the gas supply piping system
by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or
less than 14" of water column
pressure
(approximately
1/2" psig).

should
be adjusted:
a.
Push in & turn control to LITE until burner ignites.
b.
Push in & quickly turn knob to LOWEST

c.
if burner goes out, reset control to OFF.
d.
Remove the surface burner control knob.
e.
Insertathin-bladedscrewdriverintothehollowvalvestemandengage
the slotted screw inside. Flame size can be increased or decreased with
the turn of the screw. Turn counterclockwise
to increase flame size.
Turn clockwise
to decrease flame size. (See Figs. 8 & 9).
Adjust
flame
until you can quickly
turn knob from
LITE to LOWEST
POSiTiON without extinguishing
the flame. Flame should be as small as
possible without going out.
