INSTALLING THE COOKTOP

• Remove the screws on the sides of the cooktop burner box. Use those screws to attach the side mounting brackets.
• Insert the cooktop centered into the cutout opening. Make sure the front edge of the countertop is parallel to the cooktop. Check clearances at the front, back and sides. Secure the hold-down bracket to the cabinet sides with screws.

INSTALL PRESSURE REGULATOR

• Screw the regulator onto the burner box bottom pipe connection. Make sure the top of the regulator is facing toward the cabinet front and the arrow on the back of the regulator points to the cooktop.
• Complete the connection between the regulator and the shut-off valve.
• Before testing for leaks, make sure all burner knobs are in the OFF position. After connecting the cooktop to gas, check system for leaks with a manometer. If a manometer is not available, turn the gas supply on to the cooktop and use a liquid leak detector at all joints and connections to check for leaks. Tighten all connections if necessary to prevent gas leakage in the cooktop or supply line.

The pressure regulator has two female threads 1/2” NPT. The regulator shall be installed properly in order to be accessible when the appliance is installed in its final position.
Manifold pressure should be checked with a manometer and comply with the values indicated below.

• Natural Gas->5.0” W.c.P
• L P/Propane-> 10.0” W.c.P

STEP 1: PRESSURE REGULATOR
The pressure regulator is a convertible type pressure regulator for use with Natural Gas at a nominal outlet pressure of 5˝ w.c. or LP gas at a nominal outlet pressure of 10” w.c. and it is pre-assembled from the factory to operate with one of these gas pressure as indicated in the labels affixed on the appliance, package, and instruction booklet.

To convert the regulator for use with other liquid propane LP gas:

1. Unscrew the front cap of the regulator (as s een below.) Inside the cap is a screw. By hand, remove the screw to reveal a spring. Reapply the screw to the cap with the spring revealed.
2. With the spring sticking out of the cap, reapply back to the regulator.
3. Using a manometer, double check pressure is at 10w.c. If you need to adjust the pressure, screw or unscrew the black spacer where the spring is located.

POWER SUPPLY LOCATIONS

Gas supply: These cooktops are shipped from the factory set for either natural gas or LP gas. Check to be sure you have the correct cooktop for the type of gas being used.

• The pressure regulator must be connected in series with the manifold of the cooktop and must remain in series with the supply line regardless of type of gas being used.
• The natural gas model is designed to operate at 5” water column pressure. A regulator is required at the natural gas source to provide a mini- mum of 5” water column to the cooktop regulator
• The liquid propane model is designed to operate at 10” water column pressure. A regulator is required at the LP source to provide a minimum of 10” water column to the cooktop regulator. For easy of installation, and if local codes permit, the gas supply line into the cooktop should be 1/2” or 3/4” ID flexible metal appliance connector, three to five feet long.

NOTE: Purchase new flexible line. DO NOT USE OLD, PREVIOUSLY USED FLEXIBLE LINE
The gas inlet is located on the bottom of the bottom box;.

Pressure Regulator Installation

• A: Cooktop gas pipe bend
• B: Pressure Regulator
• C: Gas fitting

First, make sure that the pressure regulator arrow points toward the cooktop air pipe joint, and then fasten the pressure regulator to the cooktop air pipe.
Then install the gas fitting on the other side of the pressure regulator.
The cooktop valve is in the closed state, open the air supply valve, coated the connector with moderate amounts of soapy water, if there is air bubbles that it means there is leakage, tighten the connector and test again. If repeat 3 to 4 times and there is still air bubbles, notify professionals to deal with it.

How to Use Your Gas hob

How to Keep Your Gas hob in Shape

Before cleaning or performing maintenance on your gas hob, disconnect it from the electrical power supply (included battery power).
To extend the lifespan of the gas hob, it is absolutely indispensable that it is cleaned carefully, thoroughly and usually, please keep in mind to the following:

• The enameled parts and the glass top, must be washed with warm water without using abrasive powders or corrosive substances which could ruin them;
• The removable parts of the burners should be washed usually with warm water and soap, make sure to remove caked-on substances;
• Automatic igniter pin, the end must be cleaned carefully and usually, make sure ignition keep working normally.
• Stainless steel top plate and other steel parts can be stained if keep touch with high-concentration calcareous water or corrosive detergents (containing phosphorus). To extend the lifespan, we advise these parts be rinsed thoroughly with water and dry them by blowing, It is a good idea to clean up any spills too.
• After glass hob working, the surface must be cleaned by a damp cloth to remove dust or food residues. Glass surface should be cleaned regularly with warm water and non-corrosive detergent.

First, to remove all food residues or greases with a cleaning scraper, e.g.

Cleaning scraper (not supplied).
While the cooking surface is warm, clean it with a suitable cleaning product and paper towels, then rub with a damp cloth and dry surface. Such as aluminum foil, plastic items, objects made of synthetic material, sugar or foods with a high sugar content that have been melted onto the surface, it must be removed immediately.
While the cooking surface is still hot, clean it with a scraper and a transparent protective film which prevent to make more dirt. This also protect the surface from damage caused by food with a high sugar content.
Do not use abrasive sponges or cleaning products, these holds true for chemically aggressive cleaners, like oven sprays and stain removers;

• Cleaning the grill/pan support, it is recommended to clean it while it is still hot. To move grill away from the hob and put it in sink, remove the food residues or grease first, after grill has cooled, rinse it with water.

Greasing the Gas Valves
Over time, the gas valves may be sticked, and it is difficult to turn on/off. For this case,stop to use the gas cooktop and call authorized by the manufacturer to repair.

Practical Advice

Practical Advice on Using the Burners
For best performance, follow these general guidelines:

• Use the appropriate cookware for each burner (see table) in order to prevent the flame to reach the side of the pot or pan;
• Always use cookware with a flat bottom and keep the lid on;
• When the contents come to a boil, turn the knob to “Low”.

Ø Cookware bottom diamet er (cm)

To identify the type of burner, refer to the designs in the section entitled, “Burner and Nozzle Specifications”.

Verify that the flame of the worktop burners is completely blue and with a regular aspect as shown below:

Do not place anything, e.g., flame tamer, asbestos mat, between pan and pan support as serious damage to the appliance may result.

Do not remove the pan support and enclose the burner with a wok stand as this will concentrate and deflect heat onto the hotplate.

Do not use large pots or heavy weights which can bend the pan support or deflect flame onto the hotplate.

Locate pan centrally over the burner so that it is stable and does not overhang the appliance.

Use only a wok support supplied or recommended by the manufacturer of the appliance.

SURFACE BURNERS

1. To replace the nozzles of the surface burners, lift up the burners and unscrew the nozzles shipped with the range using a 7 mm (socket wrench).
2. Replace nozzles using the conversion set supplied with the range. Each nozzle has a number indicating its flow diameter printed on the body.

After you have converted the gas hob to another gas type, make sure you have placed a label containing that information on the appliance.

Valve & Flame adjustment

Valve adjustment
Valve adjustment should be done with the control knob set at Burner ON saving flame position. Remove the knob, and adjust the flame with a tiny screwdriver (see below).

To check the adjusted flame: heat the burner at full open position for 10 minutes. Then turn the knob into the saving setting. The flame should not extinguish nor move to the nozzle. If it extinguishes or moves to the nozzle, readjust the valves.

Flame selection
As the burners are adjusted correctly, the flame should be light blue, and the inner flame should be clear. The size of flame depends on the position of the related control knob.

See above for various operating options (flame size selection); the burner should be set at a large flame during the initial phase of cooking, it makes food boil quickly. Then should turn knob to the saving flame position to maintain the cooking. It is possible to adjust the flame size stepless.

It is prohibited to adjust the flame between the Burner OFF and Burner ON large flame positions. High quantity of energy can be conserved if the hob is used correctly, parameters are designed correctly, and appropriate cookware is used.
It is a prerequisite for efficient and energy-saving operation of hob that the burners are kept clean at all times (in particular the flame slots and nozzles).
