A Granite Countertop Installation kit # 903103-9010 can be ordered through a Service Center or by phone at 1-877-ELECTROLUX (1-877-435-3287).

Clamp Down Information
Once the cooktop is installed in the counter opening, you must clamp the unit down as shown.

To clamp down, insert an angle bracket into the slot on each side of the unit as shown. Run thumb screw up through the bracket, up against the bottom of the counter. Tighten until the unit draws down and is secure.

Provide an Adequate Gas Supply
This cooktop is designed to operate on natural gas at 5″ of manifold pressure only.
A pressure regulator is connected in series with the manifold on the cooktop and must remain in series with the supply line.
For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure to the regulator must be no more than 14″ of water column (W.C.) pressure.
For checking the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1″ (or 2,5 kPa) greater than the regulator manifold pressure setting. The regulator is set for 5″ of manifold pressure, the inlet pressure must be at least 6″.
The gas supply line to the range should be 1/2″ or 3/4″ pipe.

LP/Propane Gas Conversion
This appliance can be used with Natural gas or LP/Propane gas. It is shipped from the factory for use with natural gas.
A kit for converting to LP gas is supplied with your cooktop. The kit is marked “FOR LP/PROPANE GAS CONVERSION”.
The conversion must be performed by a qualified service technician in accordance with the kit instructions and all local codes and requirements. Failure to follow instructions could result in serious injury or property damage. The qualified agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.

WARNING
Failure to make the appropriate conversion can result in serious personal injury and property damage.

Important: Remove all packing material and literature from cooktop before connecting gas and electrical supply to cooktop.

Install Pressure Regulator
Install the pressure regulator with the arrow on the regulator pointing up toward the unit in a position where you can reach the access cap.

WARNING
Do not make the connection too tight. The regulator is die cast. Overtightening may crack the regulator resulting in a gas leak and possible fire or explosion.

Assemble the flexible connector from the gas supply pipe to the pressure regulator in the following order:

1. manual shutoff valve
2. 1/2″ (1.3 cm) nipple
3. 1/2″ (1.3 cm) flare union adapter
4. flexible connector
5. 1/2″ (1.3 cm) flare union adapter
6. 1/2″ (1.3 cm) nipple
7. pressure regulator

Use pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural and LP/Propane gas to seal all gas connections. If flexible connectors are used, be certain connectors are not kinked.
The supply line must be equipped with an approved manual shutoff valve. This valve should be located in the same room as the cooktop and should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to the shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance.

Once regulator is in place, open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gas to move through the gas line.

Check for leak s. After connecting the cooktop to the gas supply, check the system for leaks with a manometer.
If a manometer is not available, turn on the gas supply and use a liquid leak detector (or soap and water) at all joints and connections to check for leaks.

WARNING
Do not use a flame to check for leaks from gas connections. Checking for leaks with a flame may result in a fire or explosion.

Tighten all connections if necessary to prevent gas leakage in the cooktop or supply line.

Check alignment of control knob valves after connecting the cooktop to the gas supply to be sure the cooktop manifold pipe has not moved. A misalignment could cause the valve stems to rub on the control panel, resulting in a gas leak at the valve.

Disconnect this cooktop and its individual manual shutoff valve from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures greater than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa or 14″ water column).

Isolate the cooktop 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 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa or 14″ water column).

CAUTION
Do not touch the burners. They may be hot enough to cause burns.

1. Check Burner Cap Placement

Regular burner
It is very important to be sure that all surface burner caps and burner grates are properly installed and in the correct locations before operating the appliance.

The cooktop is not removeable. Do not attempt to remove or lift the cooktop.

WARNING
To prevent flare-ups and avoid creation of harmful by-products, do not use the cooktop without all burner caps properly installed to insure proper
ignition and gas flame size.
Always keep the burner caps and burner heads in place whenever the surface burners are in use. Do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material
to enter the gas orifice holder openings.
Check and be sure the size of each burner cap matches the size of the burner head. Check and be sure that all round style burner caps are correctly in place on round burner heads.

Check and be sure that all oval-style burner caps are correctly in place on oval burner heads (if equipped). Check and be sure that all dual or twin-style burner caps are correctly in place on dual or twin burner heads (if equipped).
On round-style burners, the burner cap should fit snug into the center of burner head and be level. Refer to Figure 11 for correct and incorrect burner cap placement.

Once in place, you may check the fit by gently sliding the burner cap from side to side (Fig. 12) to be sure
it is centered and firmly seated. Please note that the burner cap should NOT move off the center of the burner head when sliding from side to side.

1. Dual Flame burner (If equipped)
   Remove all tapes from burner cap Be sure that the bdual flame burner caps are correctly placed BEFORE using your cooktop.
   Note: There are no burner adjustments necessary on this cooktop.

2. Turn on Electrical Power and Open Main Shutoff Gas Valve

3. Check the Igniters
   Operation of electric igniters should be checked after range and supply line connectors have been carefully checked for leaks and range has been connected to electric power.
   a. To check for proper lighting, push in and turn a surface burner knob to the LITE position. You will hear the igniter sparking.
   b. The surface burner should ignite when gas is available to the burner. Purge air from supply lines by leaving knob in the LITE position until burner ignites. Each burner should light within four (4) seconds in normal operation after air has been purged from supply lines.
   c. Visually check that burner has a flame, Once the burner ignites, the control knob should be turned out of the LITE position.
   d. Try each surface control knob separately until all burner valves have been checked. Each burner location is equipped with a separate electrode.

4. Adjust the “LOW” Setting of Surface Burner Valves (linear flow)
   Test to verify if LOW setting should be adjusted:
   a. Push in and turn control to LITE until burner ignites.
   b. Push in and quickly turn knob to lowest position.
   c. If burner goes out, reset control to OFF.
   d. Remove the surface burner control knob.
   e. Insert a thin-bladed screwdriver into the hollow valve stem and engage the slotted screw inside. Flame size can be increased or decreased with the turn of screw. Turn counterclockwise to increase flame size. Turn clockwise to decrease flame size (Figure 14).
   Adjust flame until you can quickly turn knob from LITE to lowest position without extinguishing the flame. Flame should be as small as possible without extinguishing.

WARNING
Do not remove center screw.
