CHECKING GAS CONNECTIONS
Before checking
the unit for gas leaks be sure that the electrical
supply is disconnected.
Test for leaks using a
pressure gauge or apply a soap solution or leak detector on all gas connections.
Repair any leaks that may appear
before continuing
installation.
Make sure that each burner is resting on the burner bracket at three locations-
the two legs and at the venturi
connection.
Check that the air shutter opening is approximately
%" for four tower burners and wide open for six tower burners
(opening was preset at factory). Both dimensions can be checked using drill bits.
The unit is now ready to plug service cord into receptacle.
Make sure that power supply neutral is connected
to
the wide blade slot in receptacle.
It is essential that the electrical outlet to which the plug is connected
be properly
grounded
and polarized.
If this is in doubt, a qualified
electrician
should be contacted
to check the outlet.
BURNER IGNITION SYSTEM
Your cooktop is equipped with an electric Direct Spark Ignition System. To test the system for proper operation
place a knob on any valve stem, push down and rotate the knob left (counterclockwise)
to the "light"
position.
A small blue spark should be visible at the top of each burner ignitor and a snapping sound should also be heard.
If neither is present turn burner knob to "off"
and shut off the gas supply to the unit. Do not turn gas back on
until ignition system is functioning
properly. Check to make sure power is being supplied at the service cord con-
nection, check for a blown fuse or tripped circuit. Retest ignition.
If unsuccessful
raise the cooktop and engage
support rod. Check the terminal connections
at the bottom of the spark ignitors. Also check the valve switch ter-
minal connections.
Retest ignition four times.
