CAUTION:

The following situations could cause body injury or property damage.
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS OR AREAS NEAR THESE BURNERS.
Surface burners maybe hot even though the ﬂame is not visible. Areas near surface burners maybe come hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other ﬂammable materials touch these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool.
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning.

WARNING
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven.

INSTALLATION GUIDE AND USER MANUAL

WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Loose ﬁtting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other ﬂammable materials contact surface burners until they have had sufficient time to cool.
WHEN HEATING FA-TOR GREASE, WATCH IT CLOSELY AND DO NOT LEAVE UNATTENDED.
Fa-tor grease may catch ﬁre if allowed to become too hot.
DO NOT USE WATER OR FLOUR ON GREASE FIRES. Smother the ﬁre with a pan lid, baking soda or use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
OPERATE OF THE SURFACE BURNERS. When the burners are operated for the ﬁrst time, a small amount of smoke maybe generated due to tape residue or manufacturing lubrication. THIS IS NOT DANGEROUS. Operate the burners for about ﬁve minutes to rid the burners of this material before cooking.
USE ONLY DRY POT HOLDERS. Wet or damp pot holders on hot surfaces can result in burns from steam. Do not let the pot holder touch hot heating areas. Do not use a towel or other bulky clothing stead of a pot holder.
USE PROPER FLAME SIZE. Adjust ﬂame size that so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use of under sized cookware will expose apportion of the burner ﬂame and may result in severe burns or direct contact and ignition of clothing. Also, proper relationship of utensil to burner will improve efficiency.
KNOW WHICH KNOB CONTROLS EACH BURNER. Place a pan of food on the burner before turn ignition, and turn the burner off before removing the pan. Always turn to the ignite position when lighting top burners. Then adjust the ﬂame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.
UTENSIL HANDLES SHOULD BE TURNED INWARD AND NOT EXTEND OVER ADJACENT SURFACE BURNERS. To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of ﬂammable e materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface burners.
NEVER LEAVE THE SURFACE BURNERS UNATTENDED. Boil over scan leave greasy spills that can create excess smoke or a ﬁre hazard, and cookware that has boiled dry may warp or melt.
ALLOW PARTS TO COOL TO ROOM TEMPERATURE BEFORE TOUCHING OR REMOVING THEM FROM THE RANGE TOP. When a surface burner is ﬁrst turned off, the burner and grate are hot enough to cause burns.
CLEAN THE RANGE TOP REGULARLY TO KEEP ALL PARTS CLEAN OF GREASE OR RESIDUE WHICH COULD CATCH FIRE. Pay particular attention to the area under neath each surface burner. Do not allow fa-tor grease to accumulate. If a hood has been installed for use with the range top, ensure that it is kept clean and in good working order. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch ﬁre. Refer to the hood manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning
THESE RANGE TOPS MUST BE INSTALLED IN CONJUNCTION WITH A SUITABLE OVERHEAD VENT HOOD. DUE TO THE HIGH CAPACITY OF THESE PROFESSIONAL COOK TOPS, ATTENTION SHOULD BE PAID TO THE HOOD AND DUCT WORK INSTALLATION TO ENSURE IT MEETS LOCAL BUILDING CODES.
To eliminate risk of burns or ﬁre by reaching overheated surfaces, unit cabinet’s storage located above the cooking surface should be avoided
DO NOT USE A “CYCLONIC” RANGE TOP HOOD WITH THIS PRODUCT. Some range top hoods circulate air by blowing downward toward the range top then drawing the air back up into the hood. This creates a “cyclonic” air wash that is designed for electric range tops only. A “cyclonic” hood may cause the burners of a gas range top to operate improperly.
GLAZED COOKING UTENSILS: Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for range top use.
Do not place plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range top. These items could melt or ignite. Pot holders, towels or wooden spoons could catch ﬁre if place too close to the ﬂame.
Do not use a wok equipped with a metal ring that extends beyond the burner. Because this ring traps heat, the burner and grate could be damaged. Also, the burner may not work properly, creating a carbon monoxide level above current health standards.
Flexible Connectors: If the gas range top is connected to a gas supply with a metal ﬂexible connector, disconnect the range top with CAUTION for service or cleaning.
- Flexible connectors are not intended for repeated bending. Do not allow cleaners to make contact with ﬂexible connectors.
- The connect or and its ﬁttings are designed for use only on the original installation and are not to be reused for another appliance or at another location. Connectors must comply with A NSIZ 21.24.
- It is good practice for each household to have an appropriate ﬁre extinguisher for use in the event of a house ﬁre.

NOTE: The instructions appearing in this owner’s guide are not meant to cover every possible condition and situation that may occur. Common sense and caution must be practiced when operating and maintaining any appliance. On sealed burner models never attempt to operate the surface

WARNING

INSTALLATION GUIDE AND USER MANUAL

Make the counter top cut-out following the dimensions given in the illustration above. Base below range top must be of an on-combustible material.

INSTALLING THE RANGE TOP

Remove the range top from its package and set aside all burners, burner caps and grates.
Gently slide in the cook top in to the cut-out, make sure your cut-outs are there for the gas connection and electrical hookup(if you choose to use it).
Once this is done you’re now ready to slide the range top all the way back to the wall.
Install all burners and burner caps.
Install all grates.

CONNECTING GAS TO RANGE TOP

This range top is designed to operate at a pressure of 4”of water column on natural gas or 10”of water column on propane gas (LPG).
Make sure you are supplying your range top with the type of gas for which it is designed. It’s shipped for use with NG. This range top is convertible for use on natural gas (LPG) also. When using this range top on LPG gas, conversion must be made by a qualiﬁed LPG installer before attempting to operate the range top on that gas.
For correct operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied to the regulator should be between 4”and 5”of water column. For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between 10”and 12”of water column.
When checking for correct operation of the regulator, the inlet pressure must beat least 1”more than the operating manifold pressure as given above.
The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the range top manifold must remain in the supply line regardless of whether Natural(NG)or Propane(LP)gas is being used.
A ﬂexible metal appliance connect or used to connect the range top to the gas supply should be 3 feet/91.4 cm max. in length for easy installation. In Canada, ﬂexible connectors should be single wall metal connectors less than 6 feet/182.9 cm in length.
Shut off the main gas supply valve before removing the old cooking appliance(if applicable)and leave it of fun till the new hook-up has been completed. Don’t forget to relight the pilots on other gas appliances when you turn the gas back on.
Because hard piping restricts movement of the range top, the use of a CSA certiﬁed ﬂexible metal appliance connector is recommended unless local codes require a hard-piped connection. Never reuse an old connect or when installing a new range top.If the hard piping method is used, you must carefully align the pipe.

To prevent gas leaks, use pipe joint compound resistant to NG gases on all male external pipe threads.

In an easily accessible location, install a service manual gas shut off valve. Be sure everyone operating the range top knows where and how to shut off the gas supply to the cook top.
Use a ﬂexible gas line to connect to the 1/2” ﬁtting,located on the bottom right hand corner underneath the range top.
When all connections have been made, be sure all range top controls are in the off position and turn on the main gas supply valve. Check for gas leaks by using a 75% water, 25% dish-washing soap solution. If a gas leak is present, shut off gas immediately, tighten all connections, and retest for leaks.
Any opening in the wall behind the appliance and in the ﬂoor under the Appliance shall be sealed.

GUIDELINES FOR USING RANGE TOP BURNERS

There are dual burners have the same low turn-down setting (SIM) for gentle simmering (620 BTU/hr). Use the SIM setting for melting chocolate and butter, cooking rice and delicate sauces, simmering soups and stews, and keeping cooked food hot.
Never leave the cook top unattended when in use. Boil over causes smoking and greasy spills that may ignite.
Never allow ﬂames to extend beyond cookware or curl up its sides. This could discolor and damage the utensil and you may get burned touching a hot handle.
Keep handles out of the way. Turn handles so that they don’t extend over the edge of the range or another burner that is on.
Take care when deep-frying. Oil or fat can overheat very quickly, particularly on a high setting.
Make sure that all burner parts are properly in place. Incorrectly or incompletely assembled burners may produce dangerous ﬂames. See ‘Replacing the burner parts’ in ‘Care and cleaning’.
Keep the burners clean. Especially after a spill or boil over, make sure you clean the affected burners before using them again. Food residue may clog the igniter and the notches of the ﬂame spreader, stopping the burner from functioning correctly. See ‘Care and cleaning’ for instructions.
Check that the burner ﬂames are regular. They should be blue with no yellow tipping, and burn without ﬂuttering all around the burner cap. If not, see ‘Troubleshooting’ for advice.

SURFACE BURNER IGNITION

To light the top burners, push and turn the appropriate control knob counter clockwise to the “HI” position. You will hear a clicking noise – the sound of the electric spark igniting the burner. Once burner ignition has been achieved, then turn the burner control knob to adjust the desired heat setting.
NOTE: When one burner is turned to the “HI” position, the burner igniters will park. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on. Do not touch any burner cap, burner base, or igniter while the igniters are sparking.

Simmer and Boil

A smaller ﬂame will give the best simmer results. Small ﬂames offer precise cooking performance for delicate foods, keeping food warm, melting chocolate or butter, and for cooking that need to cook over low heat for a long time.
The highest (larger) ﬂame settings provide the maximum heat that is available on your range. This setting should be used for heavy cooking loads such as water boiling or pasta cooking.

Flame Size
When you select the ﬂame size, watch the ﬂame when you turn the knob. Any ﬂame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted.
The ﬂame should be steady and blue in color.

Power Failure
If the gas does not ignite within four seconds, turn off the valve and allow at least ﬁve minutes for any gas to dissipate. Repeat the lighting procedure.
If the power fails, it is not capable of being safely placed in operation and user that no attempt should be made to operate during power failure.

Cook top
To prevent the cook top from discoloring or staining, clean cook top after each use, and wipe up acidic or sugary spills as soon as the cook top has cooled.
The sealed burners of your range are not sealed to your cook top and are designed to be removed. Boil overs or spills will not seep underneath the cook top. The burners should be cleaned after each use.

Burner Grates
The grates must be properly positioned before cooking. Improper installation of the grates may result in scratching of the cook top and / or poor combustion.

CLEANING THE RANGE TOP

Cleaning guidelines
Read the “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” on page 2 and these ‘CARE AND CLEANING” guidelines before you start cleaning your range top.
See the pages following for instructions on removing and replacing different parts of the range for cleaning and maintenance.
To help you identify parts, see the range top diagrams on pages 24-26.

Before cleaning or removing any part, make sure that all settings on the range top are set to “OFF”. Make sure all parts of the range to pare cool to the touch.
If you need to hand lea warm or hot part of the range top (e.g.a range grate) be sure to wear oven mitts and take extreme care to avoid burns or injury.
Do not use aerosol cleaners until the range top has completely cooled. The propellant substance in these cleaners could catch ﬁre in the presence of heat.
Do not let grease or food residue accumulate anywhere in or on the range top. This will make future cleaning more difficult and may present a ﬁre hazard.
Do not use any abrasive or harsh cleaners, cloths, scouring pads or steel wool on the exterior, these will scratch and damage the appearance.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean any part of the range or oven.
Do not perform any cleaning or maintenance on parts not speciﬁcally listed in the chart below. If in doubt, contact Customer Care.

Burner and Burner Caps
Check that the burner is turned OFF and allow it to cool. Lift off the burner cap. Use as on brush or straight-ended paper clip to clear the notches of the burner. Wash them with a mild detergent in hot water, rinse, and dry. Replace the burner cap correctly.

Range top Surface and Control Panel

Clean the cook top surface with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents, waxes, polishes, or commercial cook top cleaners to clean the cook top.
Treat stubborn, burnt-on grease and residue with the same solution of mild detergent and hot water, let its it a few minutes and then wipe clean.
To protect the appliance ﬁnish, only use a sponge, soft cloth, ﬁbrous or plastic brush, and pad for cleaning.

GAS CONVERSION AND ADJUSTMENT GUIDE

The range top is set for use with Natural Gas (NG). (The factory setting is indicated on the serial plate. When set for Natural Gas (NG) Gas operation, the pressure regulator will regulate the gas to 4”inches water column pressure. When set for Liqueﬁed Propane Gas (LPG) operation, the pressure regulator will regulate the pressure to 11” inches water column

NG to LPG Conversion
Convertible Pressure Regulator
The range tops are shipped to operate on Natural Gas (NG). Propane (LPG) oriﬁces are shipped with the unit in a separate envelope with the manual. Save the NG oriﬁces removed from the appliance for future use, make sure you note which oriﬁces are for which burner if you plan on converting back to NG.
The inlet pressure of the gas supply shall be in accordance with the nominal inlet pressure of the regulator used on the range top or 1/2 psig maximum. The range top should be tested by pressurizing the regulator with an inlet pressure at least 1 inch water column above the manufacturer’s speciﬁed manifold pressure shown on the serial plate.

Shut off gas leading to appliance.
Unplug any electrical connections if you are using the 110V option, usually located under the range top.
Locate convertible regulator at the back of the range top, remove cap.
Unscrew the plastic insert from the cap and turn it overs other shorter stem is facing downwards for NG (Fig.A). Replace insert on the cap.
Replace the cap back on the regulator.
Next you will remove the grates, burners and burner caps from the range top to access the oriﬁces.
You will need a 7 mm socket wrench to remove the oriﬁces. Each oriﬁce can be accessed easily.
- a. Remove the backsplash. b. Remove the screws of the burners, take off the grease tray.
Remove all NG oriﬁces and place in a separate bag and store with your manual for future use. Label your oriﬁces as you remove from the range top.
Take the LPG oriﬁces provided and install as shown below in the chart–each oriﬁce is stamped with the size. You may require a magnifying glass to see this stamping.
