    Safety IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE READ ALL INSTRUCTION BEFORE INSTALLING AND OPERATING THIS APPLIANCE • Remove all tape and packaging before using the cooktop. Never allow children to play with packaging material. Do not remove the model/serial plate attached to the cooktop. •...
  • Page 4 • Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, servicer or the gas supplier. Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician and an authorized repair service. Know how to shut off gas supply at the meter and disconnect the electrical power to the cooktop at the circuit breaker or fuse box in case of an emergency.
  • Page 5 • DO NOT TOUCH THE COOKTOP SURFACE, THE BURNERS, GRATES OR ANY AREAS NEAR THEM. Surface burners or cooktop may be hot even though flames are not visible. Areas near surface burners or cooktop may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool.
  • Page 6 • Never use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven. • Know which knob controls which surface burner. Visually check that the burner has lit. Then adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.
  • Page 7 Proper relationship of utensil to the surface unit will also improve efficiency. • Do not use stove top grills on your gas cooktop. If you use a stove top grill on a sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete combustion and can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels...

  • Page 9: Getting Started

    Getting Started Grounding Instructions • This cooktop features a pilotless electric ignition for energy savings and reliability. It operates on a 120 volt, 60 Hz power supply. A separate circuit, protected by a 15 amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker, is required. For personal safety, the cooktop must be properly grounded.
  • Page 10: Liquefied Petroleum (Propane) Gas Conversion

    • Any additions, changes or conversions required in order for this appliance to satisfactorily meet the application needs must be made 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 the instructions could result in serious injury or property damage.
  • Page 11: Proper Burner Adjustments

    • Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil (see Figure 2). A higher flame simply wastes heat and energy, and increases your risk of being burned by the flame. Figure 2 Proper Burner Adjustments • The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room.
  • Page 12: Placement Of Burner Heads And Caps

    Placement of Burner Heads and Caps For all burners: • Place a burner cap on each burner head (see Figure 4), matching the cap size to the head size. The cap for each burner has an inner locating ring which centers the cap correctly on the burner head.

    Advance Preparation • For proper operation of a gas appliance, the air necessary for the combustion of the gas must be able to flow into the room naturally. The air must flow into the room directly through openings in the outside walls.
  • Page 19: Provide An Adequate Gas And Electrical Supply

    Provide an Adequate Gas and Electrical Supply • Installation must comply with local codes. In the absence of local codes, the gas cooktop must comply with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1—latest edition in the United States, or in Canada CAN/CGA B149.1, and CAN/CGA B149.2, and the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No.

    6) After connecting the cooktop to the gas supply, make sure all burners knobs are in the OFF position and check the system for leaks with a manometer. If a manometer is not available, turn on the gas supply and use a liquid leak detector (or soap and water) at all joints and connections to check for leaks.
  • Page 25: Assembling The Burners

    Figure 15 Assembling the Burners The electrode of the electronic ignition system is positioned above the surface of the burner base. Do not remove a burner cap or touch the electrode of a burner while another is turned on. Damage or electrical shock may occur.

    Figure 17 3. Operation of the electric igniters should be tested after the cooktop and supply line have been carefully checked for leaks and the cooktop has been connected to the electrical power. To check igniters, push and turn a burner valve to the LITE position. All spark igniters will make a series of sparks (ticking sounds), but only the burner turned to LITE will light.
