POWER SUPPLY LOCATIONS

Gas supply:

These cooktops are shipped from the factory set for either natural gas or LP gas. Check to be sure you have the correct cooktop for the type of gas being used.

• The pressure regulator must be connected in series with the manifold of the cooktop and must remain in series with the supply line regardless of type of gas being used.

• The natural gas model is designed to operate at 5″ water column pressure. A regulator is required at the natural gas source to provide a minimum of 6″ water column to the cooktop regulator.

• The liquid propane model is designed to operate at

10″ water column pressure. A regulator is required at the LP source to provide a minimum of 11″ water column to the cooktop regulator.

• Maximum inlet pressure for the regulator supplied with the cooktop is 14″ water column regardless of the gas being used.

For ease of installation, and if local codes permit, the gas supply line into the cooktop should be 1/2″ or 3/4″ ID flexible metal appliance connector, three to five feet long.

NOTE: Purchase new flexible line. DO NOT USE OLD, PREVIOUSLY USED FLEXIBLE LINE.

• Make gas connection through rear wall, or on

cabinet floor at rear, as illustrated.

ASSEMBLE BURNERS, CHECK IGNITION (cont.)

D. Check igniters.

Operation of the electric igniters should be tested after the cooktop and supply line have been carefully checked for leaks and the cooktop has been connected to the electrical power.

• 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 to

another position.

• Test each valve separately until all burners have been checked.

IMPORTANT: If the igniter electrodes continue to spark after all of the burners are lit, check that each burner component is assembled and properly seated.

E. 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.

WARNING:Lighting gas burners with

a match is dangerous. You should match light the cooktop burners only in an emergency.

• Light a match and hold the flame near the

burner you want to light. Wooden matches work best.

• 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.
