8.Complete section D, “Gas connection” Page 5.

9.Lower cooktop. Reinstall screws to secure burner tubes to cooktop. Reinstall burners and grates.

10.Check for proper flame. The small inner cone should have a very distinct blue flame 1/4" to 1/2" long. The outer cone is not as distinct as the inner cone. L.P. gas flames have a slightly yellow tip. If the flame is noisy or blowing, it is getting too much air. If the flame is soft and lazy, it is not getting enough air. If burners need adjusting, see section E, “Check operation,” Page 6.

DO NOT REMOVE THE PRESSURE REGULATOR.

3.Pressure regulator: Remove the cap from the pressure regulator. Turn the cap over so that N or NAT is visible. Replace the cap.
