PRODUCT FEATURES

Your two-burner gas cook top contains many unique features. Please read this section carefully as it identifies the most important

The cooking grate is designed to snap into place to ensure that it is level and to limit vibration.
IMPORTANT NOTE – The stainless grate and burner tops are exposed to extreme temperatures in a matter of seconds. In addition, pots are slid over them and spills introduce foods with high acidity to all of the surfaces and components. These severe operating conditions will cause an inevitable change in the appearance of the surfaces and components. Meticulous care and cleaning will slow but not eliminate these changes.

POT HOLDERS AND RAIL

• There is a set of potholders and a potholder rail standard with your appliance. The rail is attached, as shown in the diagram, by inserting the legs into the grate and tightening the brass thumbscrews. The grate can be removed and turned to position the sea rail at the back or front as required.
  NOTE : Do not place pots directly on top of the burners as they can not support the weight. The pots must be placed on the cooking grate only.

• The potholders are then slipped over this rail and moved to fit the size of pot or pan by squeezing the end legs so they can slide back and forth. Should the potholders become loose simply spread the legs a little and they will again become secure. It is recommended that the potholders be used when any boat motion is anticipated. The rail can be detached and stored under the fitted cutting board.

CUTTING BOARD ACCESSORY
The board is used to provide a flat finished surface at counter top level. It also provides a useful cutting-board feature that can be used in place or elsewhere.

CUTTING BOARD LEVELING FEATURE
At the four outside corners of the cooking grate there are small tapped holes. If your counter top is not absolutely flat the cutting board will not lie flat on the grate. By adjusting 4 – 10-32 screws into the tapped holes, with the screw head up, the cutting board can be leveled. It is advisable to tighten the levelers with a nut on the underside to secure them in place

BURNERS
The top surfaces of the burner caps are porcelain enameled to prevent oxidation (rusting) and to provide an attractive finish.

Triple Burner
These burners are CGA/AGA approved

FLAME DISPERSION
The burner ring spreads the flame evenly around the burner perimeter. This burner assembly must be seated properly into the base to produce the desired flame configuration.
NOTE : Do not place pots directly on top of the burners as they can not support the weight. The pots must be placed on the cooking grate only.

FLAME CLEARANCE AND POT SIZES
Space is always at a premium on a boat and the Dickinson Two Burner Drop in Cooktop gives you the most versatility and the most powerful burners available in a marine cooktop format. ForCyour safety and for the good maintenance of the appliance, use the appropriate size pots for the right and left burners. DO NOT use pots with a base diameter greater than 9” for the large burner and no greater than 7” for the small burner.

BURNER SAFETY FLAME-OUT
Each burner is equipped with a thermo-couple safety sensor. Should the flame accidentally be extinguished the sensor will automatically turn-off the gas supply to the burner. In addition, should the burner not ignite on start-up the gas will not continue to flow to the burner when the control knob is released.

BURNER IGNITER
The burner igniter is located on each burner and is activated by a battery generator. (Battery Included – AA) This igniter box is located under the control panel of the appliance below the burner control knobs. To replace the battery;

• Remove the burner control knobs by pulling them up away from the cooktop.
• Remove the 2 philips screws that hold the control panel in place.
• Carefully remove the control panel and set it aside where it will not become scratched.
• Unscrew the battery terminal cap and insert AA battery with the + end pointing up.
• Replace control panel and knobs.

BURNER FENCE
Due to the constricted space available on a boat and in marine appliances, a heat shield fence has been installed between the right-hand burner and the control knob. This allows the knobs to stay cool to the touch while the appliance is in use. Please be careful not to touch the fence or handle it until the appliance has cooled off.

GAS CONTROL VALVES
This appliance is equipped with CGA/AGA-approved quality gas valves that offer both electronic ignition and thermocouple flameout safety features. These valves have been calibrated for use with the burners to produce the required BTU heat output and flame quality at all settings
NOTE : The gas valves may seize if they are not used for a long period of time in the harsh marine environment. For this reason, it is advisable to rotate the gas valves periodically, a few times over this period.

GAS SUPPLY AND HOOK-UP

• THE COOK TOP OPERATES ONLY ON LOW PRESSURE LPG GAS (11″w/c)
• It is necessary for the unit to be plumbed with a dedicated fuel line containing a low-pressure (11″w/c) regulator (P/N 19-151) in line or in a multiple line system with a 2-stage regulator (P/N 19-162)
• Connect the gas line to the 3/8″ flare connector of the cook top with copper or an approved hose.
• Make sure to use 2 wrenches when tightening the hose to the fitting – one wrench on the hose fitting and one on the fitting coming out the bottom of the stove. If you only use one wrench you could over tighten the brass fittings and potentially crack them leading to a leak. During this procedure some particles may get into the fuel line. These could block or restrict the burner orifices.
• BLOW OUT FUEL LINE PRIOR TO ATTACHING TO THE PROPANE SUPPLY AND THE APPLIANCE OR TAPE OVER THE FITTING WHEN INSTALLING THE FUEL LINE SO NO DEBRI WILL ENTER.

PORTABLE PROPANE BOTTLE

If you do not have a low-pressure propane system on board and intend to use a portable propane bottle it is necessary to install a pressure regulator for gas supplied from the propane bottle. For this type of installation, we suggest using a Dickinson Low Pressure Kit (Part No. 19-150) This Kit includes a pressure regulator (11 ins W/C), a hose or 1lb bottle connector fitting and a mounting kit. The Kit must be mounted outside and away from a hatch or entry. A Dickinson AGA/CGA propane hose can be used to connect this Kit to the heater. These are available in 10 ft (3m) (Part No. 19-100-10) or 20 ft (6m) (Part No. 19-100-20)

AFTER GAS HOOK-UP AND BEFORE LIGHTING THE APPLIANCE TEST ALL GAS CONNECTIONS FOR LEAKS WITH A SOAP SOLUTION TYPICAL LPG ON-BOARD SYSTEM

WARNING:

• DO NOT install this appliance in spaces containing internal combustion engines, their fuel tanks, or joints and fittings of their fuel systems.
• USE ONLY approved materials, hose, regulators, and fittings to install. 10ft Hose – ULC Type III CGA St 8.1 – Dickinson Part# 19-100-10 20ft Hose – ULC Type III CGA St 8.1 – Dickinson Part# 19-100-20 Propane Low-Pressure Regulator UL/C.G. A – Dickinson Part# 19- 151

• MAIN GAS VALVE must be disconnected from the gas supply system during any pressure test of the system at pressures greater than ½ psi (3.5 kPa)

INSTALLATION

COUNTERTOP PREPARATION
Prior to preparing the countertop check that the depth of the cook top will fit in the desired location and that there is room for the gas inlet fitting and the gas lines. The 3/8” flare inlet fitting protrudes ¾” below the depth of the appliance.

Installing when you do have access under the countertop

• Ensure the cut-out dimensions. A small bead of sealant is recommended for a good seal.
• Install the four metal angle brackets into the tie-down flanges that are on the side of the housing. The flanges should be inserted so the bracket slides DOWN into the flange slot and the threaded hole is facing the countertop and not the housing.
• Thread the four stainless steel machine screws into the brackets. The ends of the screws will contact the countertop. Depending on the thickness of your counter material you may need a wooden spacer at the points where each of the four mounting screws go. Stop turning when all four corners are tight.
• These brackets will prevent the appliance from becoming unseated due to vibrations or the motion of the boat.

Installing when you do not have access under the countertop

• It may occur that you do not have access to the underside of the countertop where the A cooktop is to be installed. If this is the case, locate the four ‘knock-out slugs’ on the inside of the appliance housing. They are small and on the side walls about 2.25” abovethe bottom of the inside of the cooker.
• Punch out or work out the slugs so you are left with four clear holes.
• Follow the instructions indicated above but do NOT apply sealant.
• Place the appliance into the cut out. Use four stainless sheet metal screws in the ‘knock out holes’ to secure the appliance to the countertop material.
• If the countertop material is especially thin, drill out guide holes before driving in the screws.
• These screws will prevent the appliance from becoming unseated due to vibrations or the motion of the boat

OPERATION

LIGHTING THE BURNERS

WARNING : BEFORE LIGHTING BURNERS REMOVE ALL FLAMMABLE MATERIALS E.G. CURTAINS, TOWELS ETC. FROM THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY

Ensure large burner is properly seated in its base

Each knob controls a different valve. To light the burner, press down on the knob to activate the electronic ignition. Rotate the knob counter clockwise until the red dot is level with the thickest part of the indicator line. The burner will then light with the flame at the high setting. Continue to rotate counter clockwise to select lower flame settings.
The igniters on both burners will spark continuously until the gas ignites on the selected burner. Ignition should occur within four seconds of turning to this position. The igniters will stop sparking as soon as the knob is released.

1. PRESS KNOB DOWN
2. TURN KNOB COUNTERCLOCKWISE TO HIGH POSITION UNTIL BURNER IGNITES, AFTER IGNITION CONTINUE ROTATING COUNTERCLOCKWISE TO SET THE DESIRED FLAME HEIGHT.

IMPORTANT

1. If the gas does not ignite within four seconds, then turn off the valve. Allow at least a minute for any gas to dissipate, and then repeat the lighting process.
2. Do not touch any burner cap, burner base or igniter while igniters are sparking as an electrical shock could result.
3. The flame should be steady and blue in color. Foreign material in the gas line, especially in new installations, may cause an orange flame during initial operation. This will disappear with further use.
4. The flame should burn evenly around the perimeter of each burner. If the flame is uneven ensure that the burner covers are properly positioned.
5. If a burner does not ignite, consult the Trouble Shooting Guide.

NOTE : Wait until the cook top is cool before installing the cutting board or damage will occur to the board

CARE AND CLEANING

WARNINGS:

1. Before cleaning the cook-top, ensure that the burners are turned off and that all components are cool enough to safely touch.
2. After cleaning re-assemble all components before attempting to operate the cook-top.

Proper cleaning is necessary to maintain appliance performance and appearance. Wipe up spills that occur while cooking, but wait for cooker to cool. Spills that remain on hot burner components will be very difficult to clean, especially if allowed to burn on. Spills of certain foods, such as tomatoes, citrus juices, vinegar, alcohol and milk are harmful if allowed to stand for any length of time.
Use the mildest cleaner available to perform the cleaning operation. Use only a sponge and soft cloth, fibrous or nylon pad for cleaning. Do not use abrasive cleaners such as steel wool. Always dry components completely before using the cook top.

CLEANING ORIFICE
The orifices of both burners are easily accessed. The large burner cap and body is simply lifted off the burner base support. This reveals the small hole which is the gas inlet orifice. The lowercompartment needs to be removed first (see below).

LOWER COMPARTMENT
The lower compartment can be accessed by removing the cooking grate and the large burner top. Then remove the 7 Phillips screws holding the sink plate onto the unit and remove
