INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION
This appliance can be used with either LP gas or Natural gas and
is factory set for use with Natural gas.
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 on or shutting off gas to the appliance. (In
Massachusetts such shutoff devices should be approved by the
Board of State Examiners of Plumbers & Gas Fitters).
Gas connection to the product must use the elbow supplied with
a
1
/
2
" NPT external thread.
Ensure the blue washer (supplied) is located between the
elbow and the product inlet. Failure to use this will cause
a gas leak.
For use with a gas pressure regulator. The regulator supplied
can be set for either LP gas or Natural gas and must be
used with this appliance. It has a
1
/
2
" NPT thread.
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 LP and against cap for NG - see diagram below for
appropriate orientation.
3 Replace regulator cap.
4 Test gas 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 pressure at least 1" WC (0.036
p.s.i.) above the specified manifold pressure.

PARTS CHECKLIST
Gas Cooktop base unit
Literature pack (includes LPG kit)
Elbow & blue washer (taped to power cord)
Clamping brackets & screws (GC36-on base unit)
Regulator (in Polystyrene)
Burner heads and caps (check polystyrene carefully
before discarding)
3 x Burner grates/trivets (1 x center, 2 x outer)
Accessories pack
BEFORE YOU START
Ensure the countertop is square and level and ensure no
structural members interfere with space requirements.
Ensure that there is a power supply receptacle (110-120V 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 is electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or
in the absence of local codes, with the National Electric Code
ANSI/FPA 70 or CSA 22.2 (Canada).
Make sure the countertop is made of a heat resistant material.
We recommend 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.
We recommend using easy-to-clean finishes for the wall
surfaces surrounding the cooktop to aid removal of any cooking
stains resulting from use of the cooktop.

1 Turn off the main electrical supply.
2 Ensure all gas valves are turned off.
3 Remove all trivets and burner heads.
4 Pull off knobs.
5 Remove the 2 screws holding each burner
(3 on the wok burner).
6 Partially lift the hob and unplug the electrode on the mini-
auxiliary burner to allow hob removal. Beware of sharp edges.
7 Unscrew the orifices and replace them with the correct ones.
(size numbers are stamped on the side, eg. 70= 0.70mm)
(see figure 1).
8 Reset the venturi position aligning the end of the venturi tube
with the edge of the slot in the bracket below it. Outermost
position for LPG, innermost for NG (see figure 2). Some fine
adjustment may be required for local conditions.
9 To replace the CG901M hob, repeat steps 3-6 in reverse.
10 Reset the minimum setting. See ‘Minimum Setting’ overleaf.

CONVERSION TO A DIFFERENT GAS TYPE
Burners can be used with NG or LPG, provided that the injector
orifices appropriate for the gas delivered are installed.

MINIMUM SETTING OR TURNDOWN
This has been set at the factory for NG but can be checked after
the correct pressure has been reached. To adjust for minimum
setting (if applicable), you will need a Ø

" (Ø2.5 x
45mm) screwdriver. (A suitable screwdriver is available as
Fisher & Paykel spare 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 minimum regular
flame is achieved. (The flame will diminish when the screw is
turned 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.
Replace the knob.

(Note: this diagram is
of GC901 but is similar
for GC36).
After installing the gas supply and making all connections check
thoroughly for possible leaks.
1 Turn all control knobs on unit to "off" position.
2 Open the valve on the gas supply.
3 Using a leak detection 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, tighten the fitting and recheck for leaks.
5 Turn on burner valve and light each burner.
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.
LEAK TESTING
Leak testing 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 excess of
1
/
2
p.s.i. (3.5kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing it's individual manual shutoff valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures at or less than
1
/
2
p.s.i.(3.5kPa).
Maximum inlet gas supply pressure 4" W.C. Natural Gas,
11" W.C. LP gas.
Minimum gas supply pressure for regulator testing 5" W.C.
Natural Gas, 12" W.C. LP gas.
