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.
i'his procedure prevents the low flame from being
set too low resulting in the flame t)ein_ extinguished
when other burners are turned on.
IMPORTANT
Remove all packing material and literature from
cooktop before connecting gas and electrical supply
to range.
STEP3: CONNECT THE COOKTOPTO GAS
1. Connect the cooktop to the gas supply line.
2. Install a manual shutoffvalve in the gas line in
an easily accessible location outside the cooktop.
Be sure you know how and where to shut off the
gas supply to the cooktop.

Check alignment of valves after connecting the range
to the gas supply to be sure the manifold pipe has
not been moved. A misallgnment could cause the

STEP4: ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Electrical Requirements:
Because of potential sal_ty hazards under certain
conditions we strongly recommend against the use of
an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use
an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it
be a UL listed 3-wire grounding type appliance
extension cord and that the current carrying rating
of the cord in amperes be equivalent to or greater
than the branch circuit rating. Such extension
cords are obtainable through your local appliance
dealer.
Disconnect this range and its individual shutoff
valve from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures
greater than 1/2 psig.
Isolate the range 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.
GROUNDING
IMPORTANT: (Please read carefully)
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE
MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a
standard three-prong grounding wall receptacle to
minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from
this appliance.
The customer should have the wall receptacle and
circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make
sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
N and firm connection
L before use.
Insure proper ground
P
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it is the personal responsibility and
obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a
properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,
CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND)
PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.
USAGE SITUATIONS WHERE THE APPLIANCE
POWER CORD WILL BE DISCONNECTED
INFREQUENTLY.
For 15 amp circuit only, do not use an adaptor on a
20 amp circuit. Where local codes permit, a
TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a
properly grounded two-prong wall receptacle by the
use of a UL listed adaptor available at most
hardware stores. The larger slot in the adaptor
must be aligned with the large slot in the wall
receptacle to provide proper polarity in the
connection of the power cord.
Insure proper ground
| and firm connection
beforeuse.
UNLESS THE SCREW IS METAL, AND NOT
INSULATED, AND THE WALL RECEPTACLE IS
GROUNDED THROUGH THE HOUSE WIRING. THE
CUSTOMER SHOULD HAVE THE CIRCUIT
CHECKED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN TO
MAKE SURE THE RECEPTACLE IS PROPERLY
GROUNDED.
When disconnecting the power cord from the
adaptor, always hold the adaptor with one hand. If
this is not done the adaptor ground terminal is very
likely to break with repeated use. Should this
happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper
ground has again been established.
USAGE SITUATIONS WHERE APPLIANCE POWER
CORD WILL BE DISCONNECTED FREQUENTLY.
Do not use an adaptor plug in these situations
because disconnection of the power cord places
undue strain on the adaptor and leads to eventual
failure of the adaptor ground terminal. The
customer should have the two-prong wall receptacle
replaced with a three-prong (grounding) receptacle
by a qualified electrician before using the appliance.
In Canada, mobile home installation must be in
accordance with the current CAN/CSA Z240/MH
Mobile Home Installation Code.
STEP5: INSTALLINGUNIT IN A STANDARDOR
TILE COUNTER
Before installing the unlt in the cutout, attach the
adhesive backed foam tape (shipped wlth unit)
around the bottom surface of the glass, near the
edge of the maintop.
To attach the unit to the counter, insert the hold
down brackets in the slots on each side of the unit.
Use the screws supplied to attach unit to counter as
shown, The unit must rest on the metal flange
around the burner box and not on the glass.

STEP 6: ASSEMBLING THE COOKTOP BURNERS
Place the burner head on the burner bowl. so that
the location of the spark igniter matches up with the
opening in the burner head. Position the burner cap
on the burner head. Place the burner grate over the
burner assembly and into the burner bowl. The
bottoms of the burner grates have fingers that fit into
the corresponding indentations in the burner bowl.
BURNER GRATE
STEP 7: CHECK THE IGNITERS
Operation of electric igniters should be checked after
cooktop and supply line connectors have been
carefully checked for leaks and cooktop has been
connected to electric power.
To check for proper lighting, push in and turn a
burner valve to the LITE position. The burner valve
should light when gas is available to burner. Once
the burner lights, it should be turned out of the LITE
position. Try each valve separately until all burners
have been checked out.
BURNERIGNITION
COOKTOP SPARK IGNITION -- When you turn the
cooktop Mmb 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,
BURNER _ _ SPARK IGNITER
_ MIXER TUBE (CHIMNEY)
]'urn each burner full on. Flames should be blue in
color with no irace of yellow. Foreign particles in the
gas line may cause an orange flame at first but this
will soon disappear,
The burner" flames should not flutter or blow away
from the burner, Tile inner cone of the ilame should
be between 1/2" and 3/4" long.
COOKTOP
BURNER
1. Ligtlt a malch and hold the flame near the burner
you want to light. Wooden matches work best.
2. Push m 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.
STEP8: WHENALL HOOKUPS ARE
COMPLETED
MAKE SURE ALL CONTROLS ARE LEFT IN THE OFF
POSITION.
MAKE SURE THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND
VENTILATION AIR TO THE RANGE IS UNOBSTRUCTED.
MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBER LOCATION.
The serial plale for your eooktop is located on the
bottom of tile burner box. In addition to the model
and serial numbers, it tells you the ratings of the
burners and type of fuel and pressure the cooktop
was adjusted for when it left the factory.
When ordering parts, always include the serial
nulnbcr, model number and code letter to ensure
proper replacement paris. Parts may be obtained
