GAS SUPPLY
This cooktop is designed to operate on natural gas at 5" of water column manifold pressure and
7" of water column (W.C.) supply pressure. It is shipped from the factory set for natural gas. The convertible pressure regulator supplied with the
unit must be connected in series with the manifold of the cooktop and must remain in series with the
supply line regardless of whether natural or L.P. gas is being used. FOR PROPEROPERATION, THE

pressure must be at least 1" W.C.. (or 3.4 KPA) greater than the regulator output setting. If the regulator is set for 5" W.C. of water column
pressure, the inlet pressure must be at least 6" W.C.
If the regulator is set for 10" W.C., the inlet pressure
must be at least 11" W.C.. The gas supply line to the cooktop should be 1/2" or 3/4" pipe.

[_ CHECK FOR LEAKS
LEAKTESTINGOF THE APPLIANCE SHALL BE CONDUCTED ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER'S
INSTRUCTIONS.
Before testing for leaks, make sure all burner knobs are in the OFF position.
After connecting the cooktop to gas, check system for leaks with a manometer. If a manometer is not
available, turn the gas supply on to the cooktop and use a liquid leak detector at all joints and
connections to check for leaks. Tighten all connections if necessary to prevent gas
leakage in the cooktop or supply line.
DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR
LEAKS!
Disconnect the cooktop and its individual shut-off valve from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures greater than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
Isolate the cooktop from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2
psig (3.5 kPa).

COOKTOP BURNERS
E_ ASSEMBLING THE COOKTOP BURNERS
The electrode of the igniter is exposed. Be careful not to turn on any cooktop controls while the top of the burner is removed. Do not remove the top or touch the electrode of any burner while another burner is turned on. Electrical shock might result.
[] Place the burner head onto the burner base. Hake sure to place the correct
burner head on the correct burner base and that the burner head sits level on
the burner base. The burner heads are not interchangeable. Ensure the slot in the burner head is positioned over the electrode and that the burner head is fully inserted inside the burner base. A small gap between the base and head is
normal. Place the burner caps on the burner heads, making sure to place the correct
[]
burner cap on the correct burner head. The burner caps are not interchangeable. Each cap has three to four pins. Hake sure that the burner caps are properly seated on the burner heads and that none of the pins sit in the stability chamber.

[_ CHECK IGNITERS
Operation of the electric igniters should be checked after the cooktop and supply line have been carefully checked for leaks and the cooktop has been connected to the electrical power.
On models so equipped, check to be sure the cooktop is in the UNLOCKED position. r_ Push and turn a burner valve to the LITE position. All spark igniters will make a series of sparks (ticking
sounds), but only the burner turned to LITE will light.
. The burner should light when gas is available to the burner.
. Once the burner lights, it should be turned out of the LITE position.
r_ Try each valve separately until all burners have been checked.

COOKTOP BURNERS (CONT.)
ITI BURNER IGNITION
Cooktop Spark Ignition-When you turn the cooktop knob to LITE,the spark igniter makes a series of electric sparks (ticking sounds) which light the burner. During a power failure, the burners will
not light automatically. In an emergency, a cooktop burner may be lit with a match by following the
steps below. On models so equipped, check to be sure the
cooktop is in the UNLOCKED position. rA1 Light a match and hold the flame near the
burner you want to light. Wooden matches work best.
r_ Push in and turn the control knob slowly. Be
sure you are turning the correct knob for the
burner you are lighting.
NOTE: If the burner does not light within five seconds,
turn the knob off and wait one minute before trying again.
[_] BURNER GRATES
The three cooktop grates are designed for specific positions. For maximum stability, these grates should only be used in their proper position with the edges positioned on top of the black bumpers

OPERATION CHECKLIST
r_ Make sure all controls are left in the OFF r_
position. Check to be sure the cooktop is in the
UNLOCKED position (on models so equipped).
Make sure the flow of air to and from the cooktop is unobstructed.
The serial plate for your cooktop is located on the bottom of the burner box. In addition to the
model and serial numbers, it tells you the ratings of the burners and the type of fuel and pressure the cooktop was adjusted for when it left the
factory.
EEl
When ordering parts, always include the serial number, model number and a code letter to ensure proper replacement parts.
Recheck Steps: Double check to make sure everything in this guide has been completed. Rechecking steps will ensure safe use of the cooktop.

MAKING THE LP CONVERSION
r]-] SAFETY INFORMATION YOU
SHOULD KNOW
The pressure regulator and burner orifices are set for natural gas. To use LP gas, the regulator and
burner orifices must be converted. The LP orifice

A ,,-.^, ,-T-, ,.._L,
,JJLL,,/'_M/IUi_I: The cooktop, as shipped from the factory, is set for use with natural gas. If you wish to use your cooktop with LP gas, you must first replace the orifices and convert the pressure

_I_W/"_KI_I I i_1!_: This conversion must be performed by a qualified installer or gas supplier in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and all codes and requirements of the authority
having jurisdiction. Failure to follow instructions could result in serious injury or property damage. The qualified agency performing this work assumes
responsibility for the conversion.
ACAUTION: The followingadjustments

MAKING THE LP CONVERSION (CONT.}
ADJUST BURNER FLAMES
Turn all burners full on and check the flames. They should be blue in color with 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.
r_ Turn the cooktop burner knob to the lowest
setting while observing the flame.
Adjust the low flame setting using the valve bypass screw as follows:
Low-setting adjustments must be made with two other burners in operation on a medium setting. This prevents the low flame from being set too low,
resulting in the flame being extinguished when other burners are turned on.
E1 To adjust the flame,
remove the knobs. Use
screwdriver to remove valve stem plugs as
shown.
Insert a screwdriver
through the access hole in valve switch. Engage adjustment screw in
valve. Refer to the Left of stem illustration below that
matches the adjustment ./
screw location for your model. The
griddle burner (PGP959 and CGP]50) has 2
adjustment screws, one for the left rear
burner and one for the
left front burner during griddle control. Griddle
control must be turned to LOwhen making this
adjustment.
, If the flames were too
small or fluttered, open the valve more than the original setting.

r_ Testing Flame Stability:
Test 1 - Temporarily replace knobs. Turn the
knob from "HI" to the lowest setting quickly. If the flame goes out at the lowest setting, increase the flame size and test again.
Test 2 -
El Flame Recheck: After the adjustment is made, turn all burners off.
Ignite each burner individually. Observe the flame at the "HI" position. Rotate the valve to the lowest setting and be sure that the flame size decreases
as the valve is rotated counterclockwise. TO CONVERT THE COOKTOP BACK TO NATURAL
GAS, REVERSETHE STEPSUNDER MAKING THE LP
CONVERSION.
Once the conversion is complete and checked ok, replace valve stem plugs and knobs, and fill out the LP sticker. Include your name, organization and date conversion was made. Apply the sticker near the cooktop gas inlet opening to alert others in the future that this appliance has been converted to LPgas. If converting back to natural gas from LP, please remove the sticker so others know the appliance is set to use natural gas.
With the burner on the lowest setting, open and close the cabinet door under the cooktop. If the flame is extinguished by the air currents created by the door movement, increase the flame height and test
again.
, If the flames blew away from the burner,
close the valve more than the original setting.
B] Make the adjustment by slowly turning the
screw until flame appearance is correct.
