GAS COOKTOP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
(Models with Optional Electric Built-In Oven Combination)
Check for leaks. Leak testing of the appliance shall be
conducted according to the manufacturer's instructions.
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 valves after connecting the
cooktop to the gas supply to be sure the cooktop
manifold pipe has not been moved.
Disconnect this cooktop and its individual shutoff
valve from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures greater
than ½ psig (3.5 kPa or 14" (35.6 cm) 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 ½ psig (3.5
kPa or 14" (35.6 cm) water column).

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 little 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.
4. Adjust the "LO" or "SIMMER" Setting of Surface

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.
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 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. 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.
