3. Provide an Adequate Gas Supply
The cooktops covered in these instructions are designed
to operate on natural gas at 4" of manifold pressure or
on LP gas at 10" of manifold pressure.
A convertible pressure regulator issupplied with each
surface unit and MUST BE CONNECTED IN SERIES
between tile supply line and tile valve manifold
regardless of which type of gas is being used.
The convertible regulator for the surface units must be
located and turned in such manner to allow for easy
access to the convertible feature.
For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure to
the regulator must not exceed 14" of water column
(W.C.) pressure for both LPand Natural Gas.
For checking the regulator, tile inlet pressure must be at
least 1" (or 2.5 kPa) greater than the regulator manifold
pressure setting. If the regulator is set for 4" of manifold
pressure, the inlet pressure must be at least 5". If the
regulator isset for 10", tile inlet pressure must be at
least 11".
A manual shut-off valve must be installed on the gas
supply line, external to tile unit and where it can be
easily reached for tile purpose of turning the gas to the
unit on and off.
The gas supply line to the cooktops should be _/2"or 3A"
pipe.
Seal all openings in the wall behind the cooktop and in
the floor under the cooktop after gas supply line is
installed.

system for leaks witha manometer. Ifa manometer is
not available shut all pilots off, turn tile gas supply on
the unit 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.
Check alignment of valves after connecting the
cooktop to the gas supply to be sure the manifold pipe
has not been moved. A misalignment could cause the
valve knob stem to rub on the control panel, resulting in
a gas leak at the valve.
IMPORTANT: A pipe joint sealant resistant to the action
of LP Gas must be used on all pipe connections.
IMPORTANT: Remove all packing material and literature
from cooktop before connecting gas and electrical supply
to the appliance.
Do not use flame to check for leaks from
gas connections. Checking for leaks with a flame may
result in a fire or explosion.
Disconnect the cooktop and its individual shutoff
valve from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure test greater than Y2psig.
Isolate the cooktop from the gas supply piping
system by (:losing its individual manual shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or lessthan Y2psig.

5. Adjustments
A. Top PiJots Adjustment (Some modeJs}
1. Remove valve knobs, top grates and burner
pans.
2. Lift top and prop up with support rod located in
tile burner box.
3. Follow pilot tubes to their source on manifold
pipe and locate filter/pilot adjusting assembly.
4. Light two top pilots with match as shown in
figu re 12.
If the air shutter needs adjusting, rotate the shutter to
allow more or less air to tile burner tubes as needed.
For Natural Gas it may be necessary to rotate the air
shutter to some point lessthan half open for normal
flame; for LPGas it may be necessary to rotate the air
shutter to a nearly full open setting for a norraal flame.
C. Burner Flame Adjustment
1. Proper Air Adjustment (figure 15}
If the air shutter is properly adjusted, flame will be
steady, relatively quiet, and will have approximately
Y2" sharp blue cones. With LP gas, this usually occurs
when shutters are halfway open.
Figure 12
Adjust pilot flame between _/s" and ¼" (see
figure 13) so that a slight tinge of yellow appears
at the top.

2. Too Much Air (figure 16)
If the air shutter is adjusted so that too much air
flows into the burner, tile flame will appear
unsteady, will possibly not burn all the way around,
and will be noisy (like a blowtorch).
B. Burner Air Shutter Adjustment
The air shutter adjustment for each of the four burners is
located at the open end of tile venturi tube and sets on
the valve hood. Depending on the model, the shutter is
either held in place by friction fit or with Phillips head
screw.
Figure 16
3. Not Enough Air (figure 17)
If the air to the burner is insufficient, you will not see
any sharp blue cones in flame. The flame may burn
with yellow tips, and soot will accumulate on utensils
used on the burner.

cooktop and supply line connectors have been
carefully checked for leaks and the 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.
The burners can be tit manually during an
electrical power outage. To light a burner, hold
a tit match to the burner head, then slowly turn
the Surface Control knob to LITE. Use caution
