5 CHECK FOR LEAKS

Check for leaks before attempting to light the burners.

When all connections have been made, make sure all cooktop controls are in the OFF position and turn on the main gas supply valve. Use a liquid leak detector at all joints and connections to check for leaks in the system.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.

When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to pressure test the gas supply system of the residence, disconnect the cooktop and individual shut-off valve from the gas supply piping. When using test pressures of 1/2 psig or less to test the gas supply system, simply isolate the cooktop from the gas supply system by closing the individual shut-off valve.

6 CHECK QUALITY OF FLAMES

The combustion quality of burner flames needs to be determined visually.

(A) Yellow flames—

Call for service

(B) Yellow tips on outer cones— Normal for LP gas

(C) Soft blue flames— Normal for natural gas

If burner flames look like (A), call for service. Normal burner flames should look like (B) or (C), depending on the type of gas you use.

With LP gas, some yellow tipping on outer cones is normal.

Remove the backing from the label and stick it in a convenient place on the underside of the cooktop near the Rating Plate. Make sure the area is clean and dry before applying the label.

The conversion is now complete.
