1. Soft blue ames—Normal for natural gas
operation.
2. Yellow tips on outer cones—Normal for
LP gas operation.
3. Yellow ames—Abnormal for any gas
operation; call for service.
NOTE
If burner ame looks like 3, the cooktop
should not be used until it is serviced. Call
for service. Normal burner ames shall look
like 1 or 2, depending on the gas type you
use.
Install the grates as instructed below for longest life. When installed properly, the
openings in the grates are centered over the burners.
The three cooktop grates are designed to t in specic positions on the cooktop.
For maximum stability, these grates should only be used in their proper positions.

LP (Propane) conversion instruction
WARNING
• This conversion must be performed by a qualied installer or gas supplier in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and all codes and requirements
of the authority having jurisdiction. Failure to follow ALL in structions could
result in serious injury or property damage. The qualied agency performing this
work assumes responsibility for the conversion.
• Know the location of the gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.
• Unplug or disconnect power before servicing.
• Do not operate the cooktop burners when using LP gas before converting the
pressure regulator and burner orices for LP gas use. Failure to do so could
cause high ames and toxic fumes which can result in serious injury.
• Do not mix up or substitute LP gas burner orices during conversion process.
Improper orice placement will effect burner and cooking performance and could
result in personal injury and/or product damage.
All Samsung gas cooktops are manufactured and shipped to be used with natural
gas. The cooktop are also shipped with LP Conversion Kits, so the cooktop can
be converted to be used with LP gas. The kits consist of a set of properly-sized
burner orices to be used in the cooktop burners. These orices will be positioned
in a sheet of cardboard and placed in a plastic bag. The bag is placed with a user
manual. The orice in the pressure regulator is a dual-purpose orice, one side for
natural gas and the other for LP gas.
The following parts make up the LP conversion kit:
NA30*5310F*NA36*5310F*
The all orices’ positions are marked on the provided sheet. The spud in the
pressure regulator is factory-installed for Natural Gas (NG) use. LP conversion
requires spud removal and reinstallation for LP use.
If you are using LP gas to fuel the cooktop, the following steps and conversions
must be made before the ames can be adjusted.
1. Lift off the cooktop burner caps and the cooktop burner heads from the cooktop
burner manifold cups.
NOTE
Save these orices and note their positions for future conversions back to natural
gas.
3. Locate the LP conversion orices that were shipped with the cooktop.
4. Identify the proper orice by orice size for each of the cooktop burners.
5. Install the proper orices in each of the burner manifold cups and tighten with
a 9/32” or 7 mm nut driver.
