Product Information
The product is a cooktop that can be converted to use propane (LP) gas. It comes with burners that have different output ratings measured in BTU/hr. The cooktop also includes a pressure regulator and various orifice sizes for different types of gas.

Product Usage Instructions

Disconnect all electrical power at the main circuit breaker or fuse box before starting the conversion process.
Start by converting the cooktop burners:
- Use an adjustable wrench to unscrew the hex-nut cap from the pressure regulator.
- Turn the plastic cap 1/4 turn to disassemble it.
- Replace the existing burner caps and heads with the ones suitable for propane (LP) gas. Refer to the markings on the burners for proper identification.
- Screw the hex-nut cap back onto the pressure regulator.
To check the surface burners:
- For natural gas, look for soft blue flames.
- For propane (LP) gas, expect yellow tips on the outer cones.
To adjust the low flame setting on the cooktop burners:
- Turn on two other burners to medium setting.
- Turn the knob on the burner being adjusted to LO.
- Slowly turn the adjustment screw inside the shaft for round burners or the center adjustment screw for other burners to achieve the desired low flame setting.
If you want to convert the cooktop back to natural gas, reverse the instructions given for propane (LP) adjustments.

CHECK SURFACE BURNERS

Push and turn a knob to the LITE position. A clicking sound indicates the proper operation of the ignition system. When lighting any burner, sparks will appear at all burners but gas flows from only the one selected. Once air is purged from the supply line, the burner should light within 4 seconds. After the burner lights, rotate the knob out of the I ITF position. Try each humer in succession until all burners have been checked.

Quality of Flames
Determine the quality of flames visually. Normal burner flames should look like (A) or (B). Long, bright yellow flames are not normal. Normal flames may show signs of an orange tint when well heated or signs of flickering orange due to particles in the gas or air.

ADJUSTING LOW FLAME SETTING ON COOKTOP BURNERS
Low-setting adjustments must be made with 2 other burners in operation in a medium setting. This procedure prevents the flame from being set too low, resulting in the flame being extinguished when other burners are turned on.

Turn on surface burners to medium settings.
Turn the knob on the burner being adjusted to “LO*.
Remove the knob and insert a small
Round Burners flat blade screwdriver in the valve shaft as shown. Turn clockwise as far as possible while maintaining a stable flame. Repeat for all valves
