This appliance can be used with Natural Gas and Propane Gas. It is shipped from
the factory for use with natural gas.
If you wish to convert your cooktop for use with propane gas, use the supplied fixed
orifices located in the package containing the Installation Instructions, in a bag
marked "FOR LP/PROPANE GAS CONVERSION". Follow the instructions packaged
with the orifices.
The conversion must be performed by a qualified service technician in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions and all codes and requirements of the authority
having jurisdiction. Failure to follow instructions could result in serious injury or
property damage. The qualified agency performing this work assumes
responsibility for the conversion.
For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower
one to complete the process. Use the chart below as a guide for determining
proper flame size for various types of cooking. The size and type of utensil used
and the amount of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for
cooking.
For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob
accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the
fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will be undercooked.
Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither brown
nor cook properly.
