OPERATION OF A LISTED APPLIANCE. DIS-
COLORATION OR DAMAGE, SUCH AS DELAMINA-
TION, MAY OCCUR.

Air Shutter Adjustment
This appliance is shipped from the factory with air shutters
adjusted for use with Natural Gas. If further adjustment is
necessary, or to reset for use with LP, adjust air shutters as
follows:
Grill Burner and Surface Burner
Cartridge Air Shutters
(See Illustrations “A” & “B”)
The left hand air shutter controls the rear half of the burner.
The right hand shutter controls the front half. Access to air
shutters on the surface burner cartridge may be found
through openings on the bottom of the cartridge housing.
Slide air shutters backward or forward to increase or
decrease the size of the air opening. Air shutters fit snugly,
soascrewdriver bladeorneedlenosepliersmayberequired
to make this adjustment (see illustration).
Observe change in flame appearance as the air shutter is
moved. Adjustment is satisfactory when a clearly defined,
even blue flame results at the high flame setting. The snug
fitoftheairshutterassuresit willremainpositionedcorrectly.

Important Installation Suggestions
1. Chamfer all exposed edges of decorative laminate to
prevent damage from chipping.
2. Radius corners of cutout and file to insure smooth
edges and prevent corner cracking.
3. Rough edges, inside corners which have not been
rounded and forced fits can contribute to cracking of the
countertop laminate.
4. Countertop must be supported within 3²of cutout.
On any burner, closing the air shutter too far will
cause the flame to become soft and yellow tipped.
Opening the air shutter too wide will cause the flame
to blow away from the burner ports. Proper adjustment
will produce a sharp, clearly defined, even blue flame.
Low Flame Adjustment
(See Illustration “C”)
This appliance is shipped from the factory with low and
medium flame settings adjusted for use with Natural Gas.
If further adjustment is necessary, or to re-adjust for use
with LP, proceed as follows:
1. Light burner and set control knob for low flame.
2. Remove control knob from valve stem.
CAUTION: NEVER USE A METAL BLADE TO PRY
KNOB OFF. IF KNOB CANNOT BE EASILY
REMOVED, TUCK THE FOLDS OF A CLOTH
DISHTOWEL UNDER THE KNOB AND PULL THE
TOWEL UPWARD WITH STEADY, EVEN PRES-
SURE.
3. Insert a slender, thin-blade screwdriver into the recess
at center of valve stem and engage blade with slot in
adjusting screw.
4. Turn center stem adjusting screw to set flame size.
...clockwisetoreduce.
...counterclockwise to increase.
5. Replace control knob when adjustment is completed.
Proper adjustment will produce a stable, steady blue flame
of minimum size. The final adjustment should be checked
by turning knob from high to low several times without
extinguishing the flame.
This adjustment, at low setting, will automatically provide
the proper flame size at medium setting.
Pressure Testing
The maximum gas supply pressure for the appliance
pressure regulator supplied on this appliance is 14²W.C.
The test pressure for checking this appliance pressure
regulator must be at least 6²W.C. for Natural Gas, and at
least 11²W.C. for LP. It is shipped from the factory set for
Natural Gas at 5²W.C.
This appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in
excess of 1/2²PSIG (3.5 k Pa).
This appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2²PSIG
(3.5 k Pa).

Conversion To LP Gas
This appliance is shipped from the factory equipped for
use with Natural Gas. To convert it from Natural Gas for
use with LP Gas, perform steps 1 through 4.
1. Remove Natural Gas orifice hoods. Install color coded
orifice hoods supplied. Located in a pack attached to
the outer plenum area of this appliance.
(See Illustration “E”, below, and LP Gas Conversion
instructions page 8).
2. Invert cap in convertible pressure regulator (if so
equipped) located at entrance to gas manifold.
3. Adjust air shutters on individual burners for proper
flame appearance.
4. Adjust low flame setting at each burner by turning
adjustment screw in center of valve stem.
To make these conversions adjustments follow the
instructions and illustrations (“A” through “E”, pages
5-7).
IMPORTANT
Apply a non-corrosive leak detection fluid to all joints
and fittings in the gas connection between the supply
line shut-off valve and the range. Include gas fitting
and joints in the range if connections were disturbed
during installation. Check for leaks! Bubbles appearing
around fittings and connections will indicate a leak. If a
leak appears, turn off supply line gas shut-off valve,
tighten connections, turn on the supply line gas shut
off valve, and retest for leaks. Never test for gas leaks
with an open flame.
This appliance is shipped from the factory with orifice
hoods drilled for use with Natural Gas. To convert from
Natural Gas to LP, apply a 1/2²open-end wrench to hex
section of orifice hood. Turn counterclockwise to remove.
Save the Natural Gas orifice hoods just removed from this
appliance for future use. Install color coded orifice hoods
supplied. (See LP Gas Conversion instructions above and
page 8). Turn clockwise to install. Hold dimension
specified in illustration “E”.
Control Settings
The size and type of cookware and the amount and type
of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for
best cooking results. The setting indicated should serve as
a guide while you become familiar with your cooktop.
Use the HI flame setting to
quickly bring foods to a boil or to
begin a cooking operation. Then
reduce to a lower setting to
continue cooking. Never lease
food unattended over a HI flame
setting.
Med setting is used to continue a
cooking operation. Food will not
cook any faster when a HI flame
setting is used than that needed
to maintain a gentle boil.
Remember, water boils at the
same temperature whether boiling
gently or vigorously.
Use LO setting to keep food at
serving temperatures without
further cooking You may find that
some cooking may take place if
the cookware is covered.
