GAS CONVERSIONS

Tools and Parts

Gather the required tools and parts necessary for correct LP gas conversion.

Tools needed

■ Flat-blade screwdriver
■ 7 mm nut driver

Parts supplied

■ LP orifice package (400010467292)
■ Conversion instructions (501931902099)
■ Conversion label (461960247361)

IMPORTANT: Gas conversions from Natural gas to LP gas must be done by a qualified installer. Before proceeding with conversion, shut off the gas supply to the cooktop prior to disconnecting the electrical power.

WARNING

This conversion kit shall be installed by a qualified service agency in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and all applicable codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. If the information in these instructions is not followed exactly, a fire, explosion or production of carbon monoxide may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life. The qualified service agency is responsible for the proper installation of this kit. The installation is not proper and complete until the operation of the converted appliance is checked as specified in the manufacturer's instructions supplied with this kit.

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line.

Install a shut-off valve.

Securely tighten all gas connections.

If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure gas pressure does not exceed 14" (36 cm) water column.

Examples of a qualified person include:

licensed heating personnel, authorized gas company personnel, and authorized service personnel.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

1. Test the gas pressure regulator and gas supply line.

The regulator must be checked at a minimum 1" (2.5 cm) water column above the set pressure. The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows for operation and checking the regulator setting:

LP Gas:

Minimum pressure 10" (25.4 cm) W.C.P. Supply pressure 14" (35.5 cm) W.C.P.

Gas Supply Pressure Testing

Line pressure testing above 12 psi gauge (14" WCP)

The cooktop 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 12 psi (3.5 kPa).

Line pressure testing at 12 psi gauge (14" WCP) or lower

The cooktop 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 12 psi (3.5 kPa).

To Convert Surface Burners

1. If installed, remove the burner grates.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

1. Plug in cooktop or reconnect power.

Lighting the Electronic Igniters

The cooktop burners use electronic igniters in place of standing pilots. When the cooktop control knob is pushed in and turned to the LITE position, the system creates a spark to light the burner. This sparking continues until the control knob is pushed in.

To Check Operation of the Cooktop Burners:

1. Push in and turn knobs to the LITE position. The cooktop burner flame should light within 4 seconds. The first time a burner is lit, it may take longer than 10 seconds to light because of air in the gas line.

OFF LITE HI LO

1. If burners do not light properly, turn the control knob to the OFF position. Make sure the burner cap is in the proper position.
2. Check that the power supply cord is plugged in. Check that the circuit breaker has not tripped or the household fuse has not blown.
3. Check that the manual shutoff valve is in the open position.
4. Check burner operation again.

If one or all of the burners do not light at this point, see "Assistance or Service" section in the Use and Care Guide.

Low Flame Height Adjustment - Natural Gas Only

IMPORTANT: The following instructions are for use with Natural gas only. When LP gas is used, the gas adjustment screw must be tightened as far as it will go.

Each burner flame has been factory set to the lowest position available to provide reliable and constant reignition of the burner; however, each burner can be adjusted.

To Adjust:

1. After lighting, push in and turn each control knob to the LO position.

2. If the burner does not stay lit on the LO position, turn the control knob to the LITE position until the burner lights.

3. Quickly turn the control knob down to the LO position.

If the burner goes out after adjusting, readjust the valve.

To Readjust Valve:

1. Remove control knob(s).

2. Insert a flat-blade screwdriver into the cooktop surface hollow and engage the slotted screw.

A. Slotted screw

1. The flame size can be increased or decreased by turning the screw. Adjust flame until you can quickly turn the control knob from the HI to LO position without extinguishing the flame. The flame should be as small as possible without going out.

NOTE: For higher altitudes, no further burner adjustments are necessary.

Complete Burner Adjustment

1. Check burner flame(s) for proper size and shape. The cooktop "low" burner flame should be a steady blue flame approximately 14 " (0.64 cm) high.

A. Low flame

B. High flame

1. Completely fill out the conversion label (4619 602 47361) and attach label to bottom of the cooktop next to the rating tag. Do not cover the rating tag with the conversion label.

2. Save the orifices removed from the cooktop along with these instructions for future reference.

3. Read "Sealed Surface Burners" section in the Use and Care Guide supplied with the cooktop.
