Frequently Asked Questions - KRT361GU Kucht

How do I light the burners if there is a power failure?

In case of a power failure, the burners can be lit manually. Hold a lit match to the flame spreader, push in the control knob, and turn it counterclockwise to the LIGHT position. Once the flame is burning all around the burner, adjust the heat as needed.

Why won't my burner stay lit?

If a burner does not stay lit, the most likely cause is a faulty thermocouple (referred to as 'Failed Thermonuclear' in the manual). The thermocouple detects the flame and keeps the gas valve open. If it fails, the burner will shut off. Contact a qualified technician to replace it.

How do I convert the rangetop from natural gas to propane (LPG)?

Conversion must be performed by a qualified LPG installer. The rangetop comes with propane orifices in a separate envelope. Follow the instructions in the manual: shut off gas, remove grates and burners, replace each orifice with the corresponding LPG size (e.g., 1.24 mm for 18,000 BTU burners), and adjust the minimum flame height using the screw on the valve. Also, flip the plastic insert in the pressure regulator cap so the shorter stem faces downward for LPG.

What should I do if I smell gas?

If you smell gas, immediately follow these steps: Do not try to light any appliance. Do not touch any electrical switch. Do not use any phone in your building. Open windows and extinguish any open flame. Leave the building and call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

How do I clean the burner caps and burner heads?

Ensure the burner is off and cool. Lift off the burner cap. Use a soft brush or straightened paperclip to clean the notches of the burner. Wash the cap with mild detergent in hot water, rinse, and dry thoroughly before replacing. Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool on any part of the rangetop.

Why are the flames yellow and very large?

Large yellow flames indicate improper combustion. Possible causes: clogged burner ports (clean with a straight pin), burner parts not positioned correctly, the rangetop is being operated with the wrong type of gas, or the pressure regulator is faulty or set incorrectly. Ensure the rangetop matches your gas type and that all parts are clean and properly assembled.

What are the required clearances for installing the rangetop?

The rangetop must have a minimum of 6 inches (15.2 cm) side clearance above the 36" counter height to any combustible vertical surface. Wall cabinets above the rangetop must be at least 42 inches (106.7 cm) above the cooking surface unless a hood is installed, in which case a minimum of 30 inches (76.2 cm) clearance is required between the rangetop and the bottom of the hood.

Can I use a downdraft ventilation system with this rangetop?

No. The manual specifically states: Do not install with a downdraft ventilation system. Also, do not use a 'cyclonic' rangetop hood, as it may cause the gas burners to operate improperly. Only use an overhead exhaust hood that vents outside.

How do I adjust the minimum flame height for simmering?

After converting to LPG or if the minimum flame is too high, remove the front control panel by unscrewing two screws. Locate the small adjustment screw on each valve. Use a 3/32" screwdriver to turn the screw counterclockwise to reduce the flame or clockwise to increase it. The ideal minimum flame height is approximately 1/4 inch high. Replace the panel after adjustment.

What type of cookware is recommended?

Use cookware with flat bottoms that are stable and match the burner size. The flame should not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. Avoid using a wok with a metal ring that extends beyond the burner, as it can trap heat and damage the burner. Also, check the manufacturer's recommendations for glazed ceramic or glass utensils, as they may crack under sudden temperature changes.

This rangetop is designed to operate a pressure of 4" of water column non natural gas or 10" of water column non propane gas (LPG).

Make sureyouare supplying your rangetop with the type of gas for which it is designed. It's shipped for use with NG. This rangetop is convertible for use on natural gas (LPG) also. When using this rangetop on LPG gas, conversion must be made by a qualified LPG installer before attempting to operate thereon an getop on that gas.

Forcorrect operation, the pressure of naturalgassupplied tothe regulator shouldbe between 4"and5"of watercolumn. ForLP gas, the pressuresupplied mustbe between 10"and12"of water column.

When checking forcorrectoperationofthe regulator,the inletpressure mustbeat least 1"morethanthe operatingmanifoldpressure as given above.
