Once regulator is in place, open the shutoff valve in the
gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gas to move
through the gas line.

Check for leaks. After connecting the cooktop to the
gas supply, 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.

Do not use a flame to check for leaks

from gas connections. Checking for leaks with a flame
may result in a fire or explosion.

Tighten all connections if necessary to prevent gas
leakage in the cooktop or supply line.

Check alignment of control knob valves after
connecting the cooktop to the gas supply to be sure the
cooktop manifold pipe has not moved. A misalignment
could cause the valve stems to rub on the control panel,
resulting in a gas leak at the valve.

Disconnect this cooktop and its individual manual
shutoff valve from the gas supply piping system during

any pressure testing of that system at test pressures
greater than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa or 14"water column).

Isolate the cooktop from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve

during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig
(3.5 kPa or 14" water column).

3. Check the Igniters

Operation of electric igniters should be checked after
cooktop and supply line connectors have been
carefully checked for leaks and the cooktop has
been connected to electric power.
To operate the surface burner:
A. Push in and turn a surface burner knob to the

LITE position. You will hear a small ticking noise;
this is the sound of the electric ignitor which
lights the burner.

B. After the burner lights, turn to the desired flame

size. The controls do not have to be set at a
particular mark. Use the marks as a guide and
adjust the flame as needed.

Figure 9

4. Adjust the "LO" or "SIMMER" Setting of Surface
Burner Valves (see Figure 9)

Push in and turn each control knob to the "LO" (or
"SIMMER") setting. The "LO" setting of each
burner has been set at the factory to the lowest
setting available to provide reliable reignition of the
burner. If it does not stay lit on the "LO" setting,
check the setting as follows.

Be careful when performing this

operation.

A. Allow cooktop to cool to room temperature.
B. Light all burners by turning each control knob to

LITE until burners ignite, and then set them at
"HI".

C. Quickly turn the knob of the burner you want to

adjust to the LOWEST POSITION.

D. If burner goes out, readjust valve as follows:

Remove the surface burner control knob, insert a
thin-bladed screw driver into the hollow valve
stem and engage the slotted screw inside. Flame
size can be increased or decreased with the turn
of the screw. To increase flame size turn the
screw counterclockwise and to decrease turn
clockwise. Adjust flame until you can quickly
turn knob from HI to LOWEST POSITION without
extinguishing the flame. Flame should be as
small as possible without going out.

E. If you need to adjust another burner, repeat the

steps from A to D above until all burners operate
properly.

When All Hookups are Complete

Make sure all controls are left in the OFF position.

Make sure the flow of combustion and ventilation air to
the cooktop is unobstructed.
