CONVERTING TO PROPANE GAS (OR CONVERTING BACK
TO NATURAL GAS FROM PROPANE)
This cooktop leaves the factory set for use with natural gas. If you want to convert to
propane gas, the conversion must be performed by a qualified propane gas installer.
The conversion orifices and instructions can be found attached to the regulator.
Keep these instructions and all orifices in case you want to convert back to natural gas.

BURNERS
burner flames should look like (A) or (B).
Push and turn a knob to the LITE position. A
clicking sound indicates proper operation of
the ignition system. When lighting any burner,
sparks will appear at all burners but gas flows
from only the one selected. Once air is purged
from the supply line, burner should light within
4 seconds. After burner lights, rotate the knob
out of the LITE position. Try each burner in
succession until all burners have been checked.
Long, bright yellow flames are not normal.
Normal flames may show signs of an orange
tint when well heated or signs of flickering
