• Be sure to disconnect the power to the device before installation and maintenance.
• These cooktops are designed to be placed in a countertop depth >2.36 inches (60 mm).
• Please use the included “cutting template” to outline and cut holes on the countertop.
• There should be at least 1.18 inches (30 mm) of clearance at the bottom of the device. If there are appliances under the unit, it is necessary to install a thermal baffle between them.
• The top of the cooktop must be at least 4” (102 mm) away from the side walls; the cooktop must be installed at least 1.97” (50 mm) from the wall.
• There must be a minimum distance of 25.6” (650 mm) between the cooktop and the wall cabinet or range hood directly above (Refer to Figure 1).

Installation and maintenance
must be operated by qualified
and licensed technicians in
accordance with state and local
regulations. Otherwise, the
warranty of the product is void.

Installation in Kitchen Cabinet with Door
NOTE: Adjacent furniture and all materials must be able to withstand at least 185°F (85°C) above ambient when installed. However, certain types of vinyl or laminate  kitchen furniture are particularly prone to heat damage or discoloration at temperatures below 185℉(85℃).
A gap of 1.18” (30 mm) is recommended between the bottom of the cooktop and the surface of the fixture ( Refer to Figure 2).

Discharging Products of Combustion
There should be a range hood or exhaust fan directly connected to the outside to discharge the combustion products of the cooktop (Refer to Figures 3-4).

Settling the Cooktop for Installation

• Remove burners and grates.
• Turn the cooktop upside down and place the top on a cloth.
• Seal “G” with self-adhesive, as shown in Figure 5.
• Place the cooktop in the recess and secure the 4 corners with the brackets for a worktop thickness of 1.18 – 1.57” (3 – 4 cm), as shown in Figure 6.

Built-in Gas Cooktop

A cut-out template is included with each package. Use it to outline and cut holes in the countertop. Do not attempt to cut the opening until you have received the product.
Connect the Cooktop to Gas
Close the main gas supply valve before disconnecting the old cooktop and keep it closed until the new connection is made. When turning the gas back on, don’t forget to relight the pilot on the appliance. Never use the old connectors when installing a new cooktop.
Convert to LPG or NG
This cooktop is factory settings to use natural gas or LPG. Please read the label information carefully to confirm this.
Provide Adequate Gas Supply

• Stovetop use natural gas at 5″ of water column, while LPG (propane or butane) runs at 10″.
• Make sure to choose the right type of gas for your cooktop.
• This cooktop is convertible for natural or propane gas. If you decide to use this cooktop on LP gas, it must be converted by a professional installer.
• For proper operation, the gas supply pressure to the regulator must be between 5”-3” water column. But LPG is between 10” and 13”.
• Inlet pressure must be at least 1” greater than the above operating pressure when checking for proper operation of the regulator.
• Flexible metal fittings used to connect the cooktop to the gas supply line should have an I.D. of 1/2″ and a length of 5 ft for ease of installation. In Canada, flexible connectors must be single-wall metal connectors not exceeding 6 ft in length.

Adapt the Cooktop for Different Types of Gas
At first, the burner nozzle must be replaced, the operation steps are as follows:

• Remove the grate and cover of the burner, then slide the burner off the cooktop.
• Use a 0.28 inch (7mm) socket spanner to unscrew the factory-installed nozzles and replace them to the desired gas nozzles.
• It should be noted that the number of the nozzle surface is the injection diameter, the larger the number corresponds to the larger the burner, and the same burner corresponds to the same.
• Common Sense: the nozzle aperture of NG is larger than that of LPG, and the two cannot be mixed.

If the gas pressure is different from the regulations, a pressure regulator that meets national and government standards must be installed at the source. To complete the conversion, please follow the steps below,
A) Replace the burner nozzle
B) Adjust the level of the burner flame
C) Leak test
A) Replace the Burner Nozzle
5 LPG nozzles in the package and 5 installed NG nozzles on the gas stove
B) Adjust the Level of the Burner Flame
When switching from one gas to another, the min flow rate must be adjusted so that the flame does not go out. The adjustment steps are as follows,

• Light up the burner
• Turn the knob to minimum level
• Adjustment screw is located in the center of the shaft (Fig.9). Please remove the control knob to access it.
• Use the largest 0.12″ (3 mm) diameter screwdriver and turn the screw inside it until the correct setting is obtained.screwdriver, turn the screw inside the screw until the correct setting is obtained.

C) Leak Test
To prevent gas leaks, coat all external thread with compound or wrap teflon tape around the pipe thread.

• Install a manual globe valve in the gas line at an easily accessible location within safe limits. Make sure all operators know where the gas supply is and how to turn off the
  gas supply to the cooktop.

• Install male 1/2” flare union adapter to the 1/2” NPT internal thread at inlet of regulator. Use a backup wrench on the regulator fitting to avoid damage.

• When installing the front, remove the 90° elbow for easier installation.

• Install male 1/2” or 3/4” flare union adapter to the NPT internal thread of the manual shut-off valve, taking care to back-up the shut-off valve to keep it from turning.

• Connect the flexible metal connector to the adapter on the cooktop. Position the cooktop to allow connection at the shut-off valve.

• When all connections have been made, make sure all cooktop controls are in the off position and turn on the main gas supply valve. Use a liquid leak detector at all joints
  and connections to check for leaks in the system.
  WARNING: Do not check for gas leaks by flame to prevent a fire hazard.

• When testing a residential air supply system, disconnect the cooktop and separate the globe valve from the gas supply line if the pressure is＞1/2 psig.

• When testing a residential air supply system, only close the separate globe valve to isolate the cooktop from the gas supply line if the pressure is ≤ 1/2 psig.

Electrical Connection
The voltage is 120V/60Hz, properly grounded dedicated circuit protected by a 15-amp, 20-amp circuit breaker or time-delay fuse.
Note: Automatic, wireless, or wired external switches are not recommended for this product to power down the device.
Extension Cord Precautions
We strongly recommend against using extension cords to reduce potential safety hazards.
If you still use extension cords, you must use a UL listed 3-wire grounding type with current-carrying amperage ≥ branch circuit rating.
For personal safety, this equipment must be properly grounded, please read the following carefully.
The power cord for this equipment is equipped with a three-prong grounded plug for use with a standard three-prong grounded wall outlet to minimize the potential for electric shock hazard. If you encounter a standard two-prong wall outlet, please contact us or replace it with a properly grounded three- prong wall outlet. Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from this power cord under any circumstances. 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 but not insulated and
the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring. You should ask a qualified electrician check circuit to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

Using the Electric Fireplace

How to choose burners and pans?
To improve efficiency and reduce gas consumption, choose the appropriate pots and pans based on the diameter of the burner. Avoid flames sticking out of the bottom of the pan (Refer the table below).
Put a smaller diameter pot or pan on a larger burner does not mean that boiling conditions will be reached sooner.

Table of Appropriate Pans

Burner| Ø Pan Diameter (Inch)
Triple Ring| ＞10.24”
Auxiliary| 3.15”-5.5”
Semi Rapid| 5.5”-7.87”
Rapid| 7.87”-11”

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:

• It will permit the rapid boiling of liquids when knob is rotated to the max position, but the min position allows the simmer warming of food or maintaining boiling conditions of liquids.
• To reduce the gas flow to minimum, rotating the knob by counter-clockwise to point the LO position.
• Other operating adjustments can be achieved by positioning the indicator between the HI and LO.
• When the unit is not being used, set these metal knobs to OFF positions and also close the shut-off valve placed on the main gas supply line.

Light the Burner

• Any film or stickers on the cooktop surface should be removed before use.
• All operations are performed by the front knobs which control electric ignition, safety device & flame level.
• For ignite, just push and turn the knob for 1-2s in a counterclockwise direction up to the HI position (Max 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 make it difficult to light.
• When the burner in the HI position, try again with the knob in LO.
• To relight 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.

Cleaning & Maintenance

IMPORTANT: Disconnect the device from the power source before cleaning and maintenance. It is recommended to clean the appliance after it has cooled down,
especially the interior of the enamel.

• Avoid leaving alkaline or acidic substances on the surfaces, such as lemon juice and vinegar.
• Avoid using cleaning products with a chlorine or acidic base.
• Burners and grates can be removed to clean with appropriate detergent.
• Stainless steel may stain if exposed to high calcium water or aggressive cleaning agents (containing phosphorus). It is recommended to wash these parts with water and dry  them thoroughly.

Properly Replace the Burner
All burner covers and bases should be properly installed before operating the cooktop, check that each burner contain right size head and cap.

• Burner caps and heads are included with your cooktop,
• Always match the burner head size to the cap size.
• Always line up the hole in the burner head to the electrode.

It is very important to check that the burner flame distributor “F” and cover “C” are correctly repositioned after cleaning. Also check that electrodes “S” and thermocouples are clean to ensure no faulty sparks. Triple Ring Burner

• The triple ring burner must be correctly positioned (Refer Fig.11); the burner rib must be entered into ligament as shown by the arrow.
• The burner correctly positioned must not be able to rotate (Refer Fig.12), then position the cap “A” and the ring “B” (Refer Fig.12).
