Complete Installation

Electronic Ignition System

Initial lighting and gas flame adjustments

Surface burners use electronic igniters in place of standing pilots. When the cooktop control knob is turned to the "IGNITE" position, the system creates a spark to light the burner. This sparking continues, as long as the control knob is turned to "IGNITE".

Check Operation of Surface Burners

Push in and turn the surface burners control knobs to light.

The surface burner flame should light within 4 seconds. The first time a surface burner is lit, it may take longer than 4 seconds to light because of air in the gas line.

Check the flame on "HIGH" for a blue color. It should be clean and soft in character. No yellow tip, blowing or lifting of flame should occur. Occasional orange flashes are normal and reflect different elements in the air or gas.

After verifying the proper burner operation, turn the control knobs to "OFF."

If burners do not light properly:

■ Turn surface burner control knob to the "OFF" position.

■ Check that the power supply cord is plugged in and the circu breaker has not tripped or the fuse blown.

■ Check that the gas shutoff valve is set to the "open" position

■ Check that burner caps are properly positioned on burner bases.

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:

Propane Gas:

Minimum pressure: 10" (25.4 cm) WCP

Supply pressure: 14" (35.56 cm) WCP

Gas Supply Pressure Testing

Line pressure testing above 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) gauge 14" (35.5 cm) WCP

The cooktop and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).

Line pressure testing at 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) gauge 14" (35.5 cm) WCP or lower

The cooktop must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).

1. If the burner grates are installed, remove them.

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 Ignite, the system creates a spark to light the burner. This sparking continues until the control knob is turned to the desired setting.

To Check Operation of the Cooktop Burners:

1. Push in and turn knobs to Ignite. The cooktop burner flame should light within 4 seconds. The first time a burner is lit, it may take longer than 4 seconds to light because of air in the gas line. Do not leave the knob in the ignition position after burner lights.

Med Lo Hi ★ Ignite OFF

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

If one or all of the burners do not light at this point, refer to your Quick Start Guide for contact information.

Low Flame Height Adjustment

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 Lo, turn the control knob to ✦ Ignite until the burner lights.
3. Quickly turn the control knob down to Lo. 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 hollow valve stem and engage the slotted screw.
