Gas Cooktop Installation
Install the Cooktop
GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION
Assemble the flexible metal connector from the gas supply
pipe to the gas pressure regulator. You will need to deter-
mine the fittings required, depending on the size of your
gas supply line, flexible metal connector and shut-off
valve. Refer to the illustration below.
Use a pipe joint compound made for use with natural and
LP gas. If a flexible metal connector is used, be sure the
tubing is not kinked.
Open the shut-off valve in the gas supply line. Wait a few
minutes for the gas to move through the line. Refer to the
illustration on page 10.
GAS LEAK TESTING
Use a brush and liquid detergent to test all gas connec-
tions for leaks. Bubbles around connections will indicate a
leak. If a leak appears, shut off the gas supply and adjust
connections. Then check connections again. Clean the
detergent solution from the cooktop.
Never test for a gas leak with a match or other flame.

SURFACE BURNERS
The surface burners use electronic igniters in place of
standing pilots. When the cooktop control knob is pushed
in and turned to the HIGH position, the system creates a
spark to light the burner. This sparking continues until the
electronic ignition senses a flame.
Before lighting, place the burner head and cap on each
burner base and position the burner grates.
To check operation of the surface burners, push in and
turn each control knob to the HIGH position. The flame
should light within four seconds.
If the burners do not light properly, turn each control knob
to the OFF position. Check that burner heads and caps
are in the proper position. Check that the power cord is
plugged in and that the circuit breaker or house fuse has
not blown. Check that the gas shut-off valve is in the open
position. Check operation again, waiting at least five
minutes; if the burners do not light properly, contact a
Wolf authorized service center.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Initial lighting of the surface burners
may take slightly longer, as air in the system must be
purged before gas can be supplied to the burner.
