ADAPTINGTHE COOKTOPFOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF GAS
To adapt the cooktop to a different type of gas than that for which it was designed,
(see the sticker under the hob or on the package), the burner nozzles must be changed, as follows:
Remove the pan supports and slide the burners out of the cooktop.
Unscrew the nozzles using a 7mm socket wrench and replace them with those for the new
type of gas.
Reassemble the parts following the instructions in reverse order.
On completing the operation, replace the old rating label with the one showing the new
type of gas; the sticker is available from our SERVICE CENTRES.
If the gas pressure is different than that prescribed, a pressure regulator must be installed
at the source, in compliance with national standards government the use of piped gas
regulators.
To complete the conversion, follow up below,
Replacement of the burner injectors
 Regulation of the burner flame level
Leak test
 Replacement of the burner injectors
Inside the box there is one pair of gas burner jets for opposite gas type, sealed in a small bag.
Remove the gratings and the burner covers;
Using a wrench, substitute the nozzle injectors; “J” (Fig.8) with the
pair provided in the small bag.
Regulation of the burner flame level
Regulation of the burner flame level; when switching from one type of gas to another, the minimum
flow rate must be adjusted so the flame should not go out. To regulate the flame follow;
Light up the burner

circuit breaker or time-delay fuse.
Note: Use of automatic, wireless, or wired external switches that shut off power to the appliance
are not recommended for this product.
EXTENSION CORD CAUTIONS
Because of potential safety hazards associated with certain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the use of an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use on extension cord, it is
absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed, 3-wire grounding-type appliance extension cord and
that the current carrying rotting of the cord in amperes be equivalent to, or greater than, the
branch circuit rating.
GROUNDING –IMPORTANCE (please read carefully.)
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED
(Certain models)
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a
standard three-prong grounding wall receptacle to
minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from
this appliance.
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it is the personal responsibility and
obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a
properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.

13
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD
(GROUND) PRONG FROM THIS POER CORD.
Temporary Method (Adapter plugs not permitted Canada)
CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground
terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does
not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is
metal, not insulated, and the wall receptacle is
grounded through the house wiring. The customer
should have the circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly
grounded.

HOW TO USE THE COOKTOP
GAS BURNERS
Gas flow to the burners is adjusted by turning the knobs which control the valves. Turning the
knob so that the indicator line points to the symbols printed on the panel achieves the following
functions:
When knob is rotated to the maximum position it will permit the rapid boiling of liquids,
whereas the minimum position allows the simmer warming of food or maintaining boiling
conditions of liquids.
To reduce the gas flow to minimum, rotate the knob further counter-clockwise to point the
Lo Position.
Other intermediate operating adjustments can be achieved by positioning the indicator
between the HI and Lo positions, and never between the HI and OFF position.
When the range is not being used, set the gas knobs to their OFF positions and also close
the gas shut-off valve placed on the main gas supply line.
LIGHTING GAS BURNERS
Any film or stickers on the cooktop surface should be removed before use.
All operations are performed by means of all control knobs. Knob controls electric
ignition, safety device & flame level.
To ignite, push and turn the knob for 1~2 seconds in a counterclockwise direction up to
the HI position (Maximum rate), push in and hold the knob until the flame has been lit.
The sparks produced by internal igniter will light the designated burner.
In the event that the local gas supply conditions mark it difficult to light the burner in the
HI position, try again with the knob in Lo position.
To re-light the burner, return the knob to the OFF position and repeat the operation for
light.
To shut off burner, turn the knob in clockwise direction, to OFF position.

15
CHOSE OF THE BURNERS AND PANS
For greater efficiency and lesser gas consumption, use the pots and pans with the right
diameters of the burners. Avoid having flames extending out from underneath the pans
(refer to the table). A smaller diameter pot or pan placed on a larger burner does not
necessarily mean that the boiling conditions are reach quicker.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning
IMPORTANT: Before any operation of cleaning and maintenance disconnect the appliance
from the electrical supply. It’s advisable to clean when the appliance is cold and especially
for cleaning the enameled parts.
Avoid leaving alkaline or acidic substances (lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) on the surfaces.
Avoid using cleaning products with a chlorine or acidic base.
Burner & grids can be removed and cleaned with appropriate detergent.
After cleaning it is very important to check that the burner flame distributor F and the cap C
are correctly repositioned. Also check the electrode S& Thermocouple are clean to ensure
trouble-free sparking.
Stainless steel can be stained if it’s in contact with highly calcareous water or aggressive
detergents (containing phosphorous). It is recommended these parts be cleaned with water
and then dried well.
Correct Replacement of the Burners
All burner caps and burner bases should be properly installed BEFORE operating the cooktop,
Check that each burner has the right size head and cap.
Burner caps and heads are included with your cooktop
It’s very important to check that the burner flame distributor F and the cap C are correctly
repositioned. Failure to do so can cause serious problems. Also check the electrode S &
Thermocouple are clean to ensure trouble-free sparking.

17
TRIPLE RING BURNER
The triple ring burner must be correctly positioned (seen fig.7); the burner rib must be entering in
their ligament as shown by the arrow. The burner correctly positioned must not be able to rotate (fig.8).
Then position the cap A and the ring B (fig.8).

There are no draughts around the cooking surface.
The flame does not stay lit on the model with the safety device.
Check to make sure that:
You press the knob all the way in, and keep the knob pressed long enough to
activate the safety device.
Please insure the flame is touching the thermocouple tip (small metal rod right next
to the burner) after it lights up. If not please try to turn the burner cap a bit to adjust
the flame direction. This is a safety feature. If thermal couple can not sense the
heat it will shut off the gas supply.
The gas hose are not clogged in the area corresponding to the safety device.
Always match the burner head size to the cap size. The Burner Cap(black round
disc) of front burner is Larger than the Burner Cap(center black round disc) of the
back burner. Misplaced them may not be able to light up the unit.
