Granite countertop Installation Kit
A Granite Countertop Installation kit # 903103-9010 can be ordered through a
Service Center or by phone at 1-877ELECTROLUX
(1-877-435-3287).
Clamp Down Information
Once the cooktop is installed in the counter opening, you must clamp the unit
down as shown.
To clamp down, insert an angle
bracket into the slot on each side of the unit as shown. Run thumb screw up
through the bracket, up against the bottom of the counter. Tighten until the
unit draws down and is secure.
Provide an Adequate Gas Supply
This cooktop is designed to operate on natural gas at 4″ of manifold pressure
only.
A pressure regulator is connected in series with the manifold on the cooktop
and must remain in series with the supply line.
For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure to the regulator must be
no more than 14″ of water column (W.C.) pressure.
For checking the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1″ (or 2,5
kPa) greater than the regulator manifold pressure setting. The regulator is
set for 4″ of manifold pressure, the inlet pressure must be at least 6″.
The gas supply line to the range should be 1/2″ or 3/4″ pipe.
LP/Propane Gas Conversion
This appliance can be used with Natural gas or LP/ Propane gas. It is shipped
from the factory for use with natural gas.
A kit for converting to LP gas is supplied with your cooktop. The kit is
marked “FOR LP/PROPANE GAS CONVERSION”.
The conversion must be performed by a qualified service technician in
accordance with the kit instructions and all local codes and requirements.
Failure to follow instructions could result in serious injury or property
damage. The qualified agency performing this work assumes responsibility for
the conversion.
Failure to make the appropriate conversion can result in serious personal
injury and property damage.
Important: Remove all packing material and literature from cooktop before
connecting gas and electrical supply to cooktop.
Install Pressure Regulator
Install the pressure regulator with the arrow on the regulator pointing up
toward the unit in a position where you can reach the access cap.
Do not make the connection too tight. The regulator is die cast.
Overtightening may crack the regulator resulting in a gas leak and possible
fire or explosion.
Assemble the
flexible connector from the gas supply pipe to the pressure regulator in the
following order:
- manual shutoff valve
- 1/2″ (1.3 cm) nipple
- 1/2″ (1.3 cm) flare union adapter
- flexible connector
- 1/2″ (1.3 cm) flare union adapter
- 1/2″ (1.3 cm) nipple
- pressure regulator
Use pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural and LP/Propane gas to seal
all gas connections. If flexible connectors are used, be certain connectors
are not kinked.
The supply line must be equipped with an approved manual shutoff valve. This
valve should be located in the same room as the cooktop and should be in a
location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to the
shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the
appliance.
Once regulator is in place, open
the shutoff valve in the gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gas to move
through the gas line.
Check for leaks. After connecting the cooktop to the gas supply, check
the system for leaks with a manometer. If a manometer is not available, turn
on the gas supply and use a liquid leak detector (or soap and water) at all
joints and connections to check for leaks.
Do not use a flame to check for leaks from gas connections. Checking for leaks
with a flame may result in a fire or explosion.
Tighten all connections if necessary to prevent gas leakage in the cooktop or
supply line.
Check alignment of control knob valves after connecting the cooktop to
the gas supply to be sure the cooktop manifold pipe has not moved. A
misalignment could cause the valve stems to rub on the control panel,
resulting in a gas leak at the valve.
Disconnect this cooktop and its individual manual shutoff valve from
the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at
test pressures greater than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa or 14″ water column).
Isolate the cooktop 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 kPa or 14″
water column).
Electrical Requirements
120 volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded branch circuit protected by a 15 amp
circuit breaker or time delay fuse.
Do not use an extension cord with this cooktop.
Grounding Instructions
IMPORTANT Please read carefully.
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug
which mates with a standard 3-prong grounding wall receptacle (see Figure 9)
to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from the appliance.
The wall receptacle and circuit should be checked by a qualified electrician
to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall receptacle is installed, it is the personal
responsibility and obligation of the consumer to have it replaced by a
properly grounded 3-prong wall receptacle.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove thethird (ground) prong from
the power cord.
Disconnect electrical supply cord from wall receptacle before servicing

Check Burner Cap Placement Regular burner
It is very important to be sure that all surface burner caps and burner grates are properly installed and in the correct locations before operating the appliance.
The cooktop is not removeable. Do not attempt to
remove or lift the cooktop.
To prevent flare-ups and avoid creation of harmful by-products, do not use the cooktop without all burner caps properly installed to insure proper ignition and gas flame size.
Always keep the burner caps and burner heads in place whenever the surface burners are in use. Do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter the gas orifice holder openings.
Check and be sure the size of each burner cap matches the size of the burner head. Check and be sure that all round style burner caps are correctly in place on round burner heads.
Check and be sure that all oval style burner caps are correctly in place on oval burner heads (if equipped). Check and be sure that all dual or twin style burner caps are correctly in place on dual or twin burner heads (if equipped).
On round style burners, the burner cap should fit snug into the center of burner head and be level.
Refer to Figure 11 for correct and incorrect burner cap placement.
Once in place, you may check the fit by gently sliding the burner cap from side to side (Fig. 12) to be sure it is centered and firmly seated. Please note that the burner cap should NOT move off the center of the burner head when sliding from side to side.

Check the Igniters
Operation of electric igniters should be checked after range and supply line connectors have been carefully checked for leaks and range has been connected to electric power.
a. To check for proper lighting, push in and turn a surface burner knob to the LITE position. You will hear the igniter sparking.
b. The surface burner should ignite when gas is available to the burner. Purge air from supply lines by leaving knob in the LITE position until burner ignites. Each burner should light within four (4) seconds in normal operation after air has been purged from supply lines.
c. Visually check that burner has a flame, Once the burner ignites, the control knob should be turned out of the LITE position.
d. Try each surface control knob separately until all burner valves have been checked. Each burner location is equipped with a separate electrode. -
Adjust the “LOW” Setting of Surface Burner Valves (linear flow)
Test to verify if LOW setting should be adjusted:
a. Push in and turn control to LITE until burner ignites.
b. Push in and quickly turn knob to lowest position.
c. If burner goes out, reset control to OFF.
d. Remove the surface burner control knob.
e. Insert a thin-bladed screwdriver into the hollow valve stem and engage the slotted screw inside. Flame size can be increased or decreased with the turn of screw.
Turn counterclockwise to increase flame size. Turn clockwise to decrease flame size (Figure 14).
Adjust flame until you can quickly turn knob from LITE to lowest position without extinguishing the flame. Flame should be as small as possible without extinguishing.
Do not remove center screw.
