Installation Procedure

WARNING

To avoid electrical shock hazard, before installing the cooktop, switch power off at the service panel to

prevent the power from being switched on

accidentally.

Prepare the Countertop

Cut out the countertop per the dimensions shown in

"Cabinet Requirements" on page 3.

Some solid surface materials, such as Surell TM and Corian®, require different cutting methods. Consult with the solid surface manufacturer for the correct cutting method needed. Apply heat reflective tape such as Scotch Aluminum Foil Tape #425 or #427 (not included) around the cutout so that it folds over on the top and sides. Do not wrap the tape underneath the cooktop. Be sure the tape extends beyond the outermost flange of the cooktop. All corners should be covered with tape.

cutout as shown by the dotted line in Figure 4: "Counter Cutout- Foam Tape Placement". Leave 114"(6.35mm) gap between the foam tape and the edge of the cutout.

Figure 6: Rough-in Box Area

Install the pressure regulator (supplied with unit) to manifold pipe using Teflon tape on threads of manifold pipe. Turn to hand tighten plus 1/4 turn, not exceeding 1 turn for alignment. To prevent possible damage to the gas pressure regulator, install it after the rough-in box is in its permanent position. When the regulator is securely installed on the manifold pipe, the conversion nut will be easily accessible.

Figure 8: Gas and Electrical Location

Check supply line connections for leaks using a soap solution. Do not use a flame of any sort.

Turn on gas.

Apply a non-corrosive leak detection fluid to all joints and fittings in the gas connection between the shut-off valve and the range. Include gas fittings and joints in the range if connections may have been disturbed during installation. Bubbles appearing around fittings

and connections indicate a leak.

3. If a leak appears, turn off supply line gas shut-off valve and tighten connections.

4. Retest for leaks by turning on the supply line gas shut- off valve. When leak check is complete (no bubbles appear), test is complete.

5. Wipe off all detection fluid residue.

Figure 7: Pressure Regulator

WARNING

Do not attempt any adjustment of the pressure regulator, except conversion to propane..

Connect the gas supply line to the unit pressure regulator using a 1/2" flex gas line connector between manual shut- off valve and pressure regulator. Always use a new flex

line.

English 6

Important Notes for Gas Connection:

The appliance and its individual gas shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).

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 1/ 2 psi (3.5kPa).

Connect Electrical Supply

Before connecting 5-foot (1.5 m) supply cord to wall receptacle, make certain that gas shutoff valve and all burner controls are in OFF position.

Burner Cap Placement

_, WARNING

To prevent flare-ups, do not use the cooktop without all burner caps and all burner grates properly

positioned.

_, WARNING

• Burner flames are too high.

• Flames shoot out of burners.

• Burners do not ignite.

• Burner flames light unevenly.

• Burner emits gas odor.

Placing Burner Caps

Each cap has a letter (A, D, or F) cast in the underside of the cap that corresponds to a letter (A, D, or F) cast in the burner base that is attached to the appliance.

To prevent burns, do not touch burner caps or grates while hot. Turn the cooktop off and allow the

burners to cool.

Do not attempt any adjustment of the pressure regulator, except conversion to propane.

The burner caps must be properly placed for the cooktop to function properly. If the burner cap is not properly placed, one or more of the following problems may occur:

Burner Base

,Matching letter "- designation.

• After electrical connection is complete, place each burner cap on its correct burner base per its corresponding letter designation. See figure "Burners Caps" on page 7.

• Place burner cap gently on top of base so that the prongs of the burner base fit snugly into the groove of the burner cap.

Burner Cap

Figure 9: Burners Caps

English 7

Checking Burner Cap Placement

Check to make sure there is not gap between the burner cap and burner base. See figure "Burner Cap Placement" on page 8 to see the correct and incorrect placements of the burner cap.

Correct Burner Cap Placement Incorrect Burner Cap Placement

You may gently try to move the burner cap from side to side to check if it is properly placed. If properly placed, the cap will click from side to side as the prongs hit the groove ridge.

Figure 10: Burner Cap Placement

Install Burner Grates

Properly position and install each burner grate as shown inthe following illustrations. The center grate will seat with rubber feet fitting to indentatations in the cooktop surface. Check to be sure the feet match the indentations.

36"5 Burner Final Check

Check operation of electric igniters. Check flame characteristics. Flame should be blue with no yellow tip.

Yellow Flames:

Further adjustment is required.

Yellow Tips on Outer Cones:

Normal for LP Gas.

Soft Blue Flames:

Normal for Natural Gas.

WARNING To prevent flare-ups, properly support pots, and

avoid spills, all grates must be properly positioned on the cooktop whenever the cooktop is in use.

Each of the four feet must be placed into the corresponding dimples in the cooktop. Do not use a grate if the rubber feet are missing or damaged.

For replacement rubber feet: Part # 416438, contact your dealer or call the service number listed inside the cover.

If the flame is completely or mostly yellow, verify that the regulator is set for the correct fuel. After adjustment, retest.

Some yellow streaking is normal during the initial start- up. Allow unit to operate 4-5 minutes and re-evaluate before making adjustments.
