30" GAS COOKTOP WITH SEALED(SPILL-PROOF) BURNERSDISCONNECT POWER BEFORE SERVICINGIMPORTANT: Reconnect all grounding devices. All partsof this appliance capable of conducting electrical currentare grounded. If grounding wires, screws, straps, slips,nuts or washers used to complete a path to ground areremoved for service, they must be returned to theiroriginal position and properly fastened.229C4059P486GAS SUPPLY SHUT-OFF VALVECertain models of the cooktop are equipped with a gas shut-off valve.This valve may be turned to the off position by rotating the shut-offvalve knob, mounted in the control panel of the maintop. This shut-offvalve is NOT meant to replace the main cooktop shut-off valvemounted downstream of the gas regulator.IGNITION SYSTEMThe Ignition System consists of 4 spark switches (1 on each valve),4 spark electrodes (1 on each burner) and a spark module. Theburner control knob must be turned to the LITE position to light theburner and out of the LITE position to stop the sparking after theburner has ignited. All 4 electrodes will spark when any burner controlknob is in the LITE position.SPARK MODULE ACCESSAccess to the spark module varies depending upon the modelnumber of the product. Please check the name and number plateto identify the model number prior to any disassembly.• Make sure that power is disconnected before servicing.• Remove all control knobs.• Remove all burner caps.LOW FLAME (SIMMER) ADJUSTMENTS (cont.)Testing flame stability:Test 1 – Turn the knob from “HI” to “LOW” quickly. If the “LOW”flame goes out, increase the flame size and test again.Test 2 – With the burner on the “LOW” setting, open and close thecabinet door under the cooktop. If the flame is extinguished by the aircurrents created by the door movement, increase the flame heightand test again.Flame recheck:After the adjustment is made, turn all burners off. Ignite each burnerindividually. Observe the flame at the “HI” position. Rotate the valveto the “LO” position and be sure that the flame size decreases as thevalve is rotated counterclockwise.FOAM GASKET ON BURNER BOX(Non-Glass Models only)There is a foam gasket (seal) between the cooktop and the burner box.This gasket must stay in place to ensure proper airflow to the burners.CONVERSION TO L.P./PROPANE GASThe cooktop is shipped with a convertible regulator and a set ofL.P/Propane gas orifices.1. CONVERT THE REGULATOR: Remove the spring retainer capfrom the regulator body. Remove the plastic spring retainer fromthe center of the cap. Turn plastic spring retainer upside down andre-install in cap.2. INSTALL THE L.P./PROPANE ORIFICES: Remove the electrodefrom the burner base. Remove the burner base using a No. 15 torxtype bit. Using a 7mm nut driver, remove the natural gas orificefrom each burner. Install the L.P./Propane orifices supplied withthe cooktop.* Note: The 18,000 BTU burner has two orifices,one main orifice and one simmer orifice. Both must bereplaced in converting to LP/propane gas.IMPORTANT: Save the orifices removed from the appliance forfuture use. To convert back to natural gas, reverse the previoussteps. Use the Burner/Orifice specification chart to determine properlocation of the orifices.LOW FLAME (SIMMER) ADJUSTMENTSTo adjust the simmer setting on all burners, except models that havean 18,000 BTU right front burner, perform the following:The top burner valves have low flame adjustment screws in thecontrol valve body. A flashlight may be required to locate the screw.A thin, flat blade (approximately 3/32" across) screwdriver is neededto access the screw.To adjust the simmer setting on the burner:• Light 2 other burners and set the knobto a Medium to Hi setting.• Light the burner to be adjusted andturn the knob to “LOW”.• Remove knob.• Insert screwdriver through access hole in thevalve switch. Engage adjustment screw in valve.• Turn the adjustment screw until theflame reaches the desired size.• Perform a flame stability test.• For the right front burner, if 18,000 BTU, the simmer screw is accessedthrough the burner valve shaft. Use a small flat-head screwdriver(4mm or 5/32" tip size, 60mm long) to make the necessary adjustments.CAUTION1. When replacing burner bases on glass top models, do not tightenscrews beyond 10 in. lbs. torque.2. When replacing the burner base on the 18,000 BTU burner,make sure you do not tighten the base too tightly to the burnerinlet. Over tightening will cause stripping of the screw.3. Cooktops: Before removing glass maintop, inspect the installationfrom below to be sure cooktop is resting on the burner box topmounting flange and not the glass maintop.4. The rubber seal must be re-installed to prevent spillovers fromseeping into the burner box bottom.3 3/4" MIN.clearance fromcutout to sidewall on the leftof the unit30" MIN.clearance fromcountertop tounprotectedoverhead surface6" MIN.clearance fromcutout to sidewall on the rightof the unit13" MAX.
