Installation Instructions

Verifying Proper Operation

warning

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

•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. Make sure all the cooktop burner controls are in the OFF

position.

2. Connect the power OFF HIGH LOW cord to the electrical outlet.

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

4.Gently push in and turn one burner control knob at a time counterclockwise to the HIGH position. Verify that the associated burner igniter sparks, then return the knob to the OFF position. Repeat for all of the remain- ing control knobs.

5.Turn on the gas supply valve.

6.Perform the following ignition test for all of the burners:

•Push in and turn one of the control knobs counter- clockwise to the HIGH position. Only the igniter for the selected burner will spark. It may take up to four seconds for the gas to ignite, at which time the ignit- er will stop sparking. If ignition does not occur within four seconds, turn the knob to the OFF position, wait for at least five minutes to allow any gas to dissipate, then repeat the test.

•Once the burner lights, the control knob can be rotat- ed counterclockwise from HIGH to LOW to adjust the flame height progressively.

•When the unit is installed properly, the flame will be steady. It will also have a sharp, blue inner cone that will vary in length pro- portional to the burner size. The flame will be reduced by the Smart

•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 or fuse box.

•Check to make sure that all 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 burner ignition test.
