Liquefied Petroleum (Propane) Gas Conversion

WARNING

Severe shock or damage to the cooktop may occur if the cooktop is not installed by a qualified installer or electrician.

LP/PROPANE GAS CONVERSION

Your cooktop is factory set for use with Natural Gas. Do not use Liquefied Petroleum (propane) Gas.

1- The conversion must be performed by a qualified service technician in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and all codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction.

2- Failure to follow instructions could result in serious injury or property damage.

If you wish to convert your cooktop to use Liquefied Petroleum (propane) gas, see "Installation Instructions for the Conversion Procedure".

Flame Size

For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to complete the process. Use the chart below as a guide for determining proper flame size for various types of cooking. The size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for cooking.

For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the Surface Control knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither brown nor cook properly.

*Flame Size

Type of Cooking

High Flame

Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling

Medium Flame

Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steam

Low Flame

Keep foods cooking; poach; stew

 

 

*These settings are based on using medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.

Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher flame simply wastes heat and energy and increases your risk of being burned by the flame.
