Installation Instructions

Verifying Proper Operation

wARNING

Make sure that power to the electrical outlet is turned off at the circuit breaker panel or fuse box and that the gas is turned off at the gas supply valve before pro- ceeding.

The cooktop must be properly grounded at all times when electrical power is applied.

Prior to operating the cooktop, read the accompanying use and care manual carefully.

1.If the control knobs are not already in place, install the SimmerSear knob (see knob diagrams, bottom right) on the center valve stem. The remaining knobs install on the valve stems to the right and left of the center knob.

2.Make sure all the cooktop burner controls are in the OFF position.

3.Connect the power cord to the electrical outlet.

4.Turn on power to the electrical outlet at the circuit breaker panel or fuse box.

5.Push down and turn the left front burner control knob slowly counterclockwise to the HIGH posi-

tion. The corresponding burner indicator light

 

should come on. Verify that the burner igniter

 

sparks, then return the knob to the OFF

HIGH

position. Repeat for all of the remaining

position

control knobs.

 

6.Turn on the gas supply valve.

7.Perform the following ignition test for all of the burners, one at a time:

Push down and turn the control knob slowly coun- terclockwise to the HIGH position. All of the burner igniters will spark. It may take up to 4 seconds for the burner to ignite, at which time the igniters will stop sparking. If ignition does not occur within 4 seconds, turn the knob to the off position. Wait for at least 5 minutes to allow any gas to dissipate, then repeat the test.

Once the burner lights, rotate the control knob coun- terclockwise from HIGH to LOW to adjust the flame height progressively. On the SimmerSear burner, only the center of the burner should be lit when the knob is in the low position.

NOTE: If the cooktop does not operate properly, follow these troubleshooting steps:

Verify that power and gas are supplied to the cooktop.

Check to make sure that the power plug is connected to the electrical outlet and that power is turned on at the circuit breaker panel or fuse box.

Check to make sure that the burner parts are properly seated.

If the burner continues to spark after ignition without stopping, have a licensed electrician check the electri- cal outlet for proper grounding or reversed polarity.

Repeat the above burner ignition test.

When the unit is installed properly, the flame will be steady. It will also have a sharp, blue inner cone pro- portional to the burner size. The flame will be reduced by the Smart Flame™ fea- ture under the grate fingers to increase grate life.
