STEP 1
48” wide models are designed to fit in 48” or wider base cabinets 36” wide models are designed to fit in 36” or wider base cabinets
Measure carefully when cutting the countertop.
Make sure sides of the opening are parallel.
• Allow 8” free space below the top surface of the countertop.
• Allow additional clearances below the burner box
to install the regulator and make house supply
connections. Use a 90° elbow to route the gas
connections and limit interference with drawers
or other cabinetry features.
• These rangetops are designed to hang from
the countertop by their side flanges.
• Smooth any rough edges on the countertop before
installing the rangetop.
– Formica countertop edges must be finished.
The countertop must be strong enough to support
the weight of the rangetop.

INSTALL RANGETOP
CONNECT RANGETOP TO GAS
WARNING
Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks.
A manual shut-off valve must be installed where
it will be accessible.
Assure that gas is turned off at the shut-off
valve.
• Install the supplied pressure regulator onto the end
of the gas inlet.
• You can install a 90° elbow (not provided) onto
the gas inlet and route the gas connections to
avoid interference with drawers or other cabinetry
features. However, it is not recommended because it
will result in a drop in gas pressure.
• Make sure the regulator is installed in the right
direction. See arrow on the underside of the
regulator.
NOTE: Instead of using solid piping to connect to
pressure regulator, an approved flexible metal
appliance connector may be used between the pipe
stub and the shut-off valve to the pressure regulator,
if local codes permit.
• Turn on gas and check for leaks:
– Use a liquid leak detector at all joints and
connections in the system.

– Repeat the procedure for each burner.
IMPORTANT: If the igniter electrodes continue to
spark after the burners are lit, check that each
burner component is assembled properly. Refer to
the Owner’s Manual.
• Burner flames should be blue and stable with no
yellow tips, excessive noise or lifting of the flame
from the burner. If any of these conditions exist,
check that the burner ports are not blocked. If one
of these conditions continues, call for service.
The two inner screws are clamping screws for
securing the griddle in place. Loosen these two
screws before leveling. Do not remove these two
screws.
The two outer screws are leveling screws. Do not
remove these two screws. They can be turned to
level the griddle or to provide a forward slope to
help grease and oils to drain away from the food
being cooked.
After leveling the griddle, hand-tighten the
clamping screws; do not over-tighten.
INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

ADJUST BURNER FLAMES

Normally, burners do not need further adjustment.
Make adjustments only when necessary.
A. Turn on the gas. Plug in electrical cord.
B. Turn all burners on highest setting and check the
flames. They should be blue in color. When using
LP gas, the flames may have some yellow tipping
at the ends of the flame. Foreign particles in the
gas line may cause an orange flame at first, but
this will soon disappear.
C. Turn the burner knob to “LO” while observing the
flame.
Adjust the setting of the upper row of flames using
the valve bypass screw as follows:
Adjustments must be made with two other burners
in operation on a medium setting. This prevents the
upper row of flames from being set too low, resulting
in the flame being extinguished when other burners
are turned on.
D. To adjust the flame, remove the knobs. Insert a small
flat-blade screwdriver into the hole in the center of
the valve stem to engage screw.
• If the flames are too small or flutter, turn the screw
counterclockwise.
Reverse these steps to reassemble the griddle.
Push excess capillary back into the entry hole.
Place the unused orifice in the holder for possible
future use.
Once the conversion is complete and checked, fill out the conversion label and affix the label near the rating label. For ranges,
place the label beneath the control panel. For rangetops, place the label on the bottom of the unit.
• If the flames are too large, turn the screw
clockwise.
E. Make the adjustment by slowly turning the screw
until flame appearance is correct.
