4.2 Installing the pressure regulator
WARNING
Do not attempt any adjustment of the pressure regulator,
except when converting to propane. Adjustments could
lead to leaks or cause incorrect gas pressure to the appliance.
Make sure the used gas connection line is not connected
to the gas supply, before carrying out the following steps.
Note:All pipe connections must be sealed in accordance
with local codes.
1. Identify the parts of the pressure regulator.
4.3 Securing the cooktop to the countertop
The cooktop must be secured from below using the holddown brackets provided.
WARNING
Before installing, turn power OFF at the service panel.
▶ Lock service panel to prevent power from being turned
ON accidentally.
1.
CAUTION Do not let the cooktop drop into place.
▶ Make sure that the cooktop is supported along the
edges when carefully placing it into the cutout.
Turn the cooktop over carefully making sure not to damage the pressure regulator and gas line.
‒ Place the cooktop carefully into the countertop
cutout, pulling it towards the front of the cutout .
‒ Lower the rear of the cooktop so that is rests flat on
the counter .
‒ Center the cooktop left and right in the cutout .

inlet.
3. Firmly hand tighten the regulator, then further tighten ¼
turn to a maximum of one complete turn. Align the regulator so that the conversion cap is easily accessible.
4.
WARNING Never reuse a gas connector. Repeated bending, flexing, or extreme vibration will cause
metal fatigue and must be avoided.
Apply Teflon® tape to the male threads, then connect a
new ½" metal flex line or fixed metal pipe connection to
the pressure regulator.
Note:For installations with little space, use a 90° street
elbow (not supplied) to orient the regulator horizontally.

4.5 Connecting the gas supply line
The appliance is shipped from the factory for use with natural gas. If you want to use propane gas it must be converted. A qualified technician or installer must do the conversion.
Note
Ensure the following requirements are met before you try
to connect the appliance to the gas supply:
¡ Before connecting the appliance, check whether the lo-
cal connection conditions such as gas type and gas
pressure match the appliance settings.
¡ Make sure the gas supply is turned off at the manual
shutoff valve before connecting the appliance.
¡ The gas connection must be in a location that permits
access to the manual shut-off valve and which, if applicable, is visible after opening the door or drawers of the
cabinet.
¡ The metal flex gas line must not come into contact with
moving parts of the fitted unit (e.g. drawers) or be laid in
areas where it could become trapped or damaged.
¡ The metal flex gas line must not come into contact with
a cooktop, oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, washing machine, hot water pipe, radiator or any other appliance installed in the vicinity of the gas cooktop.
¡ The metal flex gas line must not be subject to rubbing,
vibrations, kinking or any other kind of deformation. It
should be checked along its entire length with the cooktop in the installation position.
¡ All pipe connections must be sealed in accordance with
local codes.
▶ Connect the metal flex gas line or fixed metal pipe con-
nection from the cooktop pressure regulator to the manual shut-off valve.

Checking the gas line for leaks
Check the gas supply line connections for leaks using a
soap solution or non-corrosive leak detection fluid. Do not
use a flame of any sort.
Note
Important notes for gas connection:
¡ The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing at pressures in excess of ½psi
(3.5kPa).
¡ The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply pip-
ing 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 ½psi
(3.5kPa).
1. Turn on gas.
2. Apply a soap solution or non-corrosive leak detection
fluid to all joints and fittings in the gas connection between the shut-off valve and the cooktop. Also check
gas fittings and joints in the cooktop if the connections
may have been disturbed during installation.

a When the leak check is complete and no bubbles ap-
pear, the test is complete.
5. Wipe off all soap solution or detection fluid residue.
4.6 Connecting the electrical supply
CAUTION
Before you plug in the electrical cord, make sure that the
gas shut-off valve and all burner controls are in the OFF
position.
▶ Connect the plug of the electrical cord to a grounded
power outlet. The outlet must be accessible after the installation of the appliance is complete.
4.7 Assembling the burner parts
The burner parts must be properly placed for the cooktop
to function properly.
Note
If the burner parts are not properly placed, one or more of
the following problems may occur:
¡ The burner flames are too high.
¡ Flames shoot out of the burners.
¡ The burners do not ignite.
¡ The burner flames light unevenly.
¡ The burners emit gas odor.
WARNING
Remove all tape from the burner parts and the cooktop
surface before using the appliance.
2. Check to make sure that there is no gap between the
burner parts. You may gently try to move the burner
parts from side to side to check if they are properly
seated.
4.8 Installing the burner grates
WARNING
Improperly positioned grates can cause flare-ups.
▶ Position all grates properly on the cooktop whenever
the cooktop is in use to properly support pots and avoid
spills.
▶ Make sure each of the four feet of the grates is placed
into the corresponding dimples on the cooktop surface.
▶ Do not use a grate if the rubber feet are missing or
damaged.
1. Assemble the burner parts according to the illustration.
Burner cap
Burner base
Thermocouple
Igniter
Make sure that the prongs of the burner cap fit snugly
into the groove of the burner base.
4.9 Checking the installation
Check if your unit is working properly after you have completed the installation steps.
WARNING
Before you turn on power supply, make sure all controls
are in the OFF position.
1. Ensure that the burner caps are properly positioned.
2. Turn each burner on in turn and verify that the electric
igniters are working.

3. Turn the control knob between the highest and lowest
setting. Make sure the flame does not go out and there
are no flashbacks.
4. If you have carried out an LP gas conversion, check the
lowest setting to confirm the flames are stable on the
ports and the set screws do not need to be readjusted.
5. Check the flame characteristics.
6. After completing all checks, complete the installation of
the horizontal panel or oven. →

2. Remove the hexagon shaped conversion cap from the
regulator. Make sure not to dislodge the gasket on
the cap or the spring inside the regulator.
3. Grasp the plastic orifice stem firmly and pull it force-
fully from the conversion cap . The stem snaps snugly
into an indent in the cap and may require a strong pull
to remove. It may be helpful to gently “rock” the plastic
stem while pulling it from the metal cap.
7. IMPORTANT: Attach the metallic sticker included with
the LP conversion kit to the bottom of the appliance as
shown. This sticker provides notice that the appliance
has been converted for use with LP gas. It should be located near the appliance rating plate.
