Safety & warnings

Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect power
before servicing the
product.

Failure to do so could
result in death or
electrical shock.

Cut Hazard

Flexible appliance connectors shall

meet the requirements of ANSI Z21.24
and State Boards. They shall not
exceed 36 inches in length.

A CAUTION!

In order to avoid hazard these products

must be installed according to these

instructions.
This product should not be sealed into the

bench with silicone or glue. This will make
any future servicing difficult. Fisher& Paykel

will not be liable for costs associated with

releasing such products, nor for damage

incurred as a result.

Beware of sharp edges.

Use polystyrene end
caps when carrying
the product.

Failure to use caution
could result in injury

or cuts.

A WARNINGS!

This appliance shall be installed in
accordance with the installation

requirements of the local gas authority
or the appropriate installation code

or in the absence of local codes with
the latest National Fuel Gas Code ANSI

Z223.1 or CAN B149.1,2(Canada). Local
building and electrical codes must be

ad hered to.

IMPORTANT!

This product must be installed by an
authorized person (Warning this product

must be installed by a licensed plumber or

gas fitter when within the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts).

Pleaseleave these instructions with the

appliance. Inform the customer to retain for
future reference.

This product is supplied with an additional

label corltairling the model and serial
numbers. It may be affixed to the underside

of the product, the inside of a cupboard or
to the UserGuide.

Before you start

Cabinet Preparation

Ensurethe countertop issquare and level
and ensure no structural members interfere

with space requirements.
Make sure the countertop is made of a heat

resistant material.
We record]mend that the exposed bare

wood edges of the cutout be sealed
with an oil based paint or moisture proof
polyurethane to prevent possible damage
from moisture creeping between the
cooktop trim and the benchtop.

Electrical

Ensurethat there isa power supply
receptacle (1] 0-120V 60Hz) within reach
of the cooktop power cord (30"from the
middle of the product). The main cable
should not touch any hot metal parts.

Make sure the cooktop is connected to
a power supply socket that iselectrically
grounded in accordance with local codes

or in the absence of local codes, with the
National Electric Code ANSI/FPA70 or CSA

22.2(Canada).
The power supply must be properly

polarized. Reversepolarity will result in
continuous sparking of the electrodes, ever]
after flame ignition. If the power supply is
not properly polarized, it is the responsibility
of the customer to have the polarity

corrected.
If there is any doubt as to whether the

wall receptacle is properly grounded or
polarized, have it checked by aqualified
electrician prior to installing the cooktop.

Installation Instructions

Gas supply connection

This appliance is factory set for use with
Natural Gas at 4"of water column pressure.

It carl also be usedors LPGas at 11"of water
column pressure after conversion (see pages

7&8).
A manual shut-off valve must be installed

in an accessible location in the gas line
external to the appliance for the purpose
of turning orsor shutting off gas to the
appliance. (In Massachusetts such shutoff
devices should be approved by the Board of
State Examiners of Plumbers & Gas Fitters).

Blue Elbow

Gascorsrsectiorsto the product must use
the elbow supplied with a 72" NPTexternal

thread.

Ensure the blue washer (supplied) is
located between the elbow and the

product inlet. Failure to use this will

cause a gas leak.

Gas Regulator

For use with a gas pressure regulator as
shown below. The regulator supplied can
be set for either LPgas or Natural gas.

Instamlation Instructions

Converting the regulator
between NG & LP

1

Unscrew the cap from the regulator.

2

Check the orientation of the plastic
conversion plug, and if necessary, unscrew,
turn over and screw back in (wide section
away from cap for LPand against cap for

NG- seediagram below for appropriate

orientation.

Clamping down the cooktop

3

Replaceregulator cap.

4

Testgas pressure (test point provision on
side of regulator). When converting the

regulator for different settings, the function

of the regulator must be checked at a

pressureat least I"WC (0.036p.s.i.)above

the specified manifold pressure.

Placethe cooktop into the cutout and
tighten it with the supplied clamps. These
will cope with the countertop thicknesses

3//_ 2"when usedin the two orientations

shown.

Do not over tighten.

Installation Instructions

Conversion to different gas type

Burners can be used with NGor LPG,
provided that the injector orifices appropriate

for the gas delivered are installed.
Tochange the injector orifices, you will need

a 9/s2"(7mrn) box spanner.

1 Turn off the main electrical supply.

Installation Instructions

Leak testing

Leaktesting of the appliance shall be

conducted according to the manufacturer's
instructions.

The appliance and it's individual shutoff
valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure
testing of that system in excessof _/sp.s.i.
(3.5kPa).

The appliance must be isolated from the
gas supply piping system byclosing it's
individual manual shutoff valve during any

pressuretesting of the gas supply piping

system at test pressuresat or lessthan

1/2p.s.i.(3.SkPa).
Maximum inlet gas supply pressure 20"W.C.

(SkPa)

Minimum gas supply pressurefor regulator

testing 5"W.C. Natural Gas,12"W.C.LPgas.

After installing the gas supply and making
all cor]r]ections check thoroughly for

possible leaks.

1

Turn all control knobs on unit to 'bff"

position.

2

Open the valve on the gas supply.

3

Using a leakdetection fluid (e.g. Rocol
leak detection spray) check each gas
connection one at a time by brushing

the solution over the connection. The
presence of bubbles will indicate a leak.

4

If necessary,tighter] the fitting and recheck
for leaks.

5

Turn on burner valve and light each

burner.

Minimum setting or turndown

This has beer] preset at the factory for

NG but carl be checked after the correct
pressure has beer] reached. Toadjust

for rninirT]urT]setting (ifapplicable), you
will need aO 7/64"x lSA"(Q2.5 x 45mm)
screwdriver.

(A suitable screwdriver isavailable as
Fisher & Paykelspare part. FB200467).

1

Ignite the burner and set the knob to its
minimum position.

2

Remove the knobs.

3

Rotate the turn down screw (down the
hole in the spindle) while holding the

shaft. Rotate slowly until a mir]imum
regular flame is achieved. (The flame

will diminish when the screw isturned
clockwise and increase when turned

counter clockwise).

4

When the setting is right check regulation

by quickly rotating the knob from the
maximum to the minimum delivery
position. The flame must not go out

and the autoreignition should not click.

Replacethe knob.

6

Check for a clear blue flame without yellow
tipping. If burners show any abnormalities,
check that they are located properly and in
line with the injector orifice.
