GAS SUPPLY
This cooktop is designed to operate on natural gas at 5s of water column manifold pressure and 7s 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 PROPER OPERATION, THE MAXIMUM INLET PRESSURE TO THE REGULATOR MUST BE NO MORE THAN 14s OF WATER COLUMN PRESSURE. For checking the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1s W.C.. (or 3.4 KPA) greater than the regulator output setting. If the regulator is set for 5s W.C. of water column pressure, the inlet pressure must be at least 6sW.C. If the regulator is set for 10sW.C., the inlet pressure must be at least 11sW.C.. The gas supply line to the cooktop should be 1/2s or 3/4s pipe.

CHECK FOR LEAKS

LEAK TESTING OF 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
ASSEMBLING THE COOKTOP BURNERS
1
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. Make sure to place the correct
A
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
B
burner cap on the correct burner head. The burner caps are not interchangeable. Each cap has three to four pins. Make sure that the burner caps are properly seated on the burner heads and that none of the pins sit in the stability chamber.

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.
Push and turn a burner valve to the LITE position. All spark igniters will make a series of sparks (ticking
A
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. Try each valve separately until all burners have been checked.

MAKING THE LP CONVERSION
SAFETY INFORMATION YOU
1
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 spuds for the cooktop burners are attached to the regulator along with separate LP conversion instructions.
CAUTION: 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 regulator.
WARNING: 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.
CAUTION: The following adjustments
must be made before turning on the burner. Failure to do so could result in serious injury. Be sure pressure regulator has been converted as described in Step 2.

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.
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 illustration below that matches the adjustment screw location for your model. The griddle burner (PGP986 and CGP650) 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 LO when making this adjustment.
• If the flames were too small or fluttered, open the valve more than the original setting.

TO CONVERT THE COOKTOP BACK TO NATURAL GAS, REVERSE THE STEPS UNDER 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 LP gas. If converting back to natural gas from LP, please remove the sticker so others know the appliance is set to use natural gas.
Testing Flame Stability:

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.
Flame Recheck:
• If the flames blew away from the burner, close the valve more than the original setting.
Make the adjustment by slowly turning the
