Important Note to the Consumer

Keep these instructions with your Use and Care Guide for future reference.

IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

Installation of this cooktop must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 in the United States, or in Canada, with the Canadian Fuel Gas Code, CAN/CGA B149 and CAN/CGA B149.2.

•When installed in a manufactured (mobile) home installation must conform with the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, title 24 CFR, part 3280 [Formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, title 24, HUD (part 280)] or, when such standard is not applicable, the Standard for Manufactured Home Installation, ANSI/NCSBCS A225.1 or with local codes where applicable.

This cooktop has been design certified by CSA

International. As with any appliance using gas and generating heat, there are certain safety precautions you should follow. You will find them in the Use and Care Guide, read it carefully.

•Be sure your cooktop is installed and grounded properly by a qualified installer or service technician.

•This cooktop must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in their absence, with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70—latest edition in the United States, or in Canada, with the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1 Part 1.

•The burners can be lit manually during an electrical power outage. To light a burner, hold a lit match to the burner head, then slowly turn the Surface Control knob to LITE. Use caution when lighting burners manually.

•Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above the cooktop. Children could be seriously burned climbing on the cooktop to reach items.

•To eliminate the need to reach over the surface burners, cabinet storage space above the burners should be avoided.

•Adjust surface burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.

Excessive flame is hazardous.

•Never use your cooktop for warming or heating the room. Prolonged use of the cooktop without adequate ventilation can be hazardous.

•Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids near this or any other appliance. Explosions or fires could result.

The electrical power to the cooktop must be shut off while gas line connections are being made. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.

1.Visually inspect the cooktop for damage.

2.Set the cooktop into the countertop cutout.

After inserting the cooktop into the countertop opening, make sure the unit is sitting on the metal flange around the top of the burner box. Cooktop must not sit on the glass or the

porcelain top. Avoid cutting an oversized hole in the countertop.

NOTE: Do not use caulking compound; cooktop should be removable for service when needed.

3. Provide an Adequate Gas Supply

This cooktop is designed to operate on natural gas at 5" of manifold pressure only.

A pressure regulator is connected in series with the manifold on the cooktop and must remain in series with the supply line.

For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure to the regulator must be no more than 14" of water column (W.C.) pressure.

For checking the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1" (or 2.5 kPa) greater than the regulator

manifold pressure setting. The regulator is set for 5" of manifold pressure, the inlet pressure must be at least 6".

The gas supply line to the range should be 1/2" or 3/4" pipe.

4. LP/Propane Gas Conversion

This appliance can be used with Natural gas or LP/ Propane gas. It is shipped from the factory for use with natural gas.

A kit for converting to LP gas is supplied with your cooktop. The kit is marked "FOR LP/PROPANE GAS CONVERSION".

Figure 6A

6

GAS COOKTOP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

(For 30" & 36" Models)

The conversion must be performed by a qualified service technician in accordance with the kit instructions and all local codes and requirements. Failure to follow instructions could result in serious injury or property damage. The qualified agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.

Failure to make the appropriate conversion can result in serious personal injury and property damage.

Important: Remove all packing material and literature from cooktop before connecting gas and electrical supply to cooktop.

5. Install Pressure Regulator

Install the pressure regulator with the arrow on the regulator pointing up toward the unit in a position where you can reach the access cap.

The supply line must be equipped with an approved manual shutoff valve. This valve should be located in the same room as the cooktop and should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to the shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance.

6. Electrical Requirements

120 volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded branch circuit protected by a 15 amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse. Do not use an extension cord with this cooktop.

Grounding Instructions

IMPORTANT Please read carefully.

For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong grounding wall receptacle (see Figure 9) to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from the appliance.

The wall receptacle and circuit should be checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is

properly grounded.

7. Check Operation

Refer to the Use and Care Guide packaged with the cooktop for operating instructions and for care and cleaning of your cooktop.

1.Remove foam caps.

2.Turn on Electrical Power and Open Main

Shutoff Gas Valve

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.

Where a standard 2-prong wall receptacle is installed, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the consumer to have it replaced by a properly grounded 3-prong wall receptacle.

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

Disconnect electrical supply cord from wall receptacle before servicing cooktop.

4. Adjust the "LOW" Setting of Surface Burner

Valves

A.Push in and turn each control to LITE until burner ignites.

B.Push in and quickly turn knob to LOWEST POSITION.

C.If burner goes out, Reset control to OFF.

D.Remove the surface burner control knob.

E.Insert a thin-bladed screwdriver into the hollow valve stem and engage the slotted screw inside. Flame size can be increased or decreased with the turn of the screw.

NOTE: On models with twin burners (two rings of flame), only the outer burner is adjustable.

Adjust flame until you can quickly turn knob from LITE to LOWEST POSITION without extinguishing the flame. Flame should be as small as possible without going out.

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.

Model and Serial Number Location

The serial plate is located on the underside of the cooktop.

When ordering parts for or making inquires about your range, always be sure to include the model and serial numbers and a lot number or letter from the serial plate of your cooktop.

Your serial plate also tells you the rating of the burners, the type of fuel and the pressure the cooktop was adjusted for when it left the factory.
