Air Shutter Adjustment

This appliance is shipped from the factory with air shutters adjusted for use with Natural Gas. If further adjustment is necessary, or to reset for use with LP, adjust air shutters as follows:

Grill Burner and Surface Burner Cartridge Air Shutters

(See Illustrations “A” & “B’)

The left hand air shutter controls the rear half of the burner. The right hand shutter controls the front half. Access to air shutters on the surface burner cartridge may be found through openings on the bottom of the cartridge housing. Slide air shutters backward or forward to increase or decrease the size of the air opening. Air shutters fit snugly, so a screwdriver blade or needle nose pliersmay be required to make this adjustment (see illustration). Observe change in flame appearance as the air shutter is moved. Adjustment is satisfactory when a clearly defined, even blue flame results at the high flame setting. The snug fit of the air shutter assures it will remain positioned correctly.

On any burner, closing the air shutter too far will cause the flame to become soft and yellow tipped. Opening the air shutter too wide will cause the flame to blow away from the burner ports. Proper adjustment will producea sharp, clearly defined, even blue flame

Important Installation Suggestions

1. Chamfer all exposed edges of decorative laminate to prevent damage from chipping.
2. Radius corners of cutout and file to insure smooth edges and prevent corner cracking.
3. Rough edges, inside corners that have not been \rounded and forced fits can contribute to cracking of the countertop laminate.
4. The countertop must be supported within 3″of cutout. On any burner, closing the air shutter too far will cause the flame to become soft and yellow tipped. Opening the air shutter too wide will cause the flame to blow away from the burner ports. Proper adjustment will produce a sharp, clearly defined, even blue flame

Low Flame Adjustment

This appliance is shipped from the factory with low and medium flame settings adjusted for use with Natural Gas. If further adjustment is necessary, or to re-adjust for use with LP, proceed as follows:

1. Light the burner and set control knob for low flame.

2. Remove the control knob from valve stem.
   CAUTION: NEVER USE A METAL BLADE TO PRY KNOB OFF. IF KNOB CANNOT BE EASILY REMOVED, TUCK THE FOLDS OF A CLOTH DISHTOWEL UNDER THE KNOB AND PULL THE TOWEL UPWARD WITH STEADY, EVEN PRESSURE.

3. Insert a slender, thin-blade screwdriver into the recess at center of valve stem and engage blade with slot in adjusting screw.

4. Turn the center stem adjusting screw to set flame size.

   • clockwise to reduce.
   • counterclockwise to increase.

5. Replace control knob when adjustment is completed. Proper adjustment will produce a stable, steady blue flame of minimum size. The final adjustment should be checked by turning knob from high to low several times without extinguishing the flame.

This adjustment, at low setting, will automatically provide the proper flame size at medium setting

Pressure Testing

The maximum gas supply pressure for the appliance pressure regulator supplied on this appliance is 14 W.C. The test pressure for checking this appliance pressure regulator must be at least 6 W.C. for Natural Gas, and at least 11 W.C. for LP. It is shipped from the factory set for Natural Gas at 5 W.C. This appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG (3.5 k Pa). This appliance must be isolated 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 k Pa).

Appliance Pressure Regulator Conversion

This unit is supplied with a Maxitrol Appliance Pressure Regulator. Follow the instructions in illustration “D”.

Conversion To LP Gas

This appliance is shipped from the factory equipped for use with Natural Gas. To convert it from Natural Gas for use with LP Gas, perform steps 1 through 4.

1. Remove Natural Gas orifice hoods. Install color-coded orifice hoods supplied. Located in a pack attached to the outer plenum area of this appliance. (See Illustration “E”, below, and LP Gas Conversion instructions ).
2. Invert cap in convertible pressure regulator (if so equipped) located at the entrance to gas manifold.
3. Adjust air shutters on individual burners for proper flame appearance.
4. Adjust low flame setting at each burner by turning the adjustment screw in the center of the valve stem. To make these conversion adjustments follow the instructions and illustrations (“A” through “E”).

IMPORTANT

Apply a non-corrosive leak detection fluid to all joints and fittings in the gas connection between the supply line shut-off valve and the range. Include gas fitting and joints in the range if connections were disturbed during installation. Check for leaks! Bubbles appearing around fittings and connections will indicate a leak. If a leak appears, turn off the supply line gas shut-off valve, tighten connections, turn on the supply line gas shut-off valve, and retest for leaks. Never test for gas leaks with an open flame.

This appliance is shipped from the factory with orifice hoods drilled for use with Natural Gas. To convert from Natural Gas to LP, apply a 1/2 open-end wrench to the hex section of the orifice hood. Turn counterclockwise to remove. Save the Natural Gas orifice hoods just removed from this appliance for future use. Install color-coded orifice hoods supplied. (See LP Gas Conversion instructions above and. Turn clockwise to install. Hold dimension specified in illustration “E”.

Control Settings

The size and type of cookware and the amount and type of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for best cooking results. The setting indicated should serve as a guide while you become familiar with your cooktop.

• Use the HI flame setting to quickly bring foods to a boil or to begin a cooking operation. Then reduce to a lower setting to continue cooking. Never lease food unattended over a HI flame setting.
• Med setting is used to continue a cooking operation. Food will not cook any faster when a HI flame setting is used than that needed to maintain a gentle boil. Remember, water boils at the same temperature whether boiling gently or vigorously.
• Use the LO setting to keep food at serving temperatures without further cooking You may find that some cooking may take place if the cookware is covered
