TEST FOR LEAKS
2
WARNING:
CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS! Do not use the cooktop until
all connections have been leak tested.
Perform leak test per the following instructions:
1. Purchase a liquid leak detector or prepare a soap
solution of one part water, one part liquid detergent.
2. When all connections have been made, make sure all
cooktop controls are turned to OFF and turn the gas
supply valve to ON.
3. Apply the liquid leak detector or the soap solution
around all connections from the shut-off valve
to the cooktop.
4. A leak is identified by a flow of bubbles from the
area of the leak.
5. If a leak is detected, turn the gas supply off. Tighten
the fitting. Turn the gas on and test again.
If the leak persists, turn the gas supply off and
contact your dealer for assistance. Do not attempt
to operate the cooktop if a leak is present.
CHECK IGNITION

A Connect electrical supply cord.
B Push in one control knob and turn to the LITE
position. The igniter will spark and the burner will
light. The first test may require some time, while air
is flushed out of the gas line.
C
Check to determine if your burner flames are normal.
If burner flames look like A, call for service. Normal
burner flames should look like B or C, depending on
the type of gas you use. With LP gas, some yellow
tipping on outer cones is normal.

ADJUST THE LOW FLAME (SIMMER)

SETTING
The top burner valves have low flame/simmer
adjustment screws in the center of the control shafts.
A flashlight may be needed to locate the screw. A small,
thin-blade screwdriver (approximately 1/8" blade width)
is needed to access the screw.
A Light two other burners and set the knobs to a
medium to high setting.
B Light the burner to be adjusted and turn the knob
to LOW.
C Remove the knob and insert a screwdriver into
the valve shaft.
D Turn the adjustment screw until the flame reaches the
desired size.
E Perform a flame stability test.
Flame Stability Test
Test 1: With the downdraft vent fan on HI, turn the
burner knob from HI to LOW quickly. If the LOW
flame goes out, increase the flame size and test
again.
Test 2: With the burner on the LOW setting, open
and close the cabinet door under the cooktop.
If the flame is extinguished by the air currents
created by the door movement, increase
the flame height and test again.
Flame Recheck
After the adjustment is made, turn off all burners. Ignite
each burner individually. Observe the flame at the HI
position. Rotate the valve to the LOW position and be
sure the flame size decreases as the valve is rotated
counterclockwise.
