General 8 information
Liquefied Petroleum (Propane) Gas Conversion
The cooktop can be used with Natural Gas or Propane Gas. It is shipped from the factory for use with natural gas.
If you wish to convert your appliance for use with LP/Propane gas, use the supplied fixed orifices located in a bag containing the
literature marked, "FOR LP/PROPANE GAS CONVERSION". Follow the instructions package with the orifices.
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. Failure to follow instructions could result in serious injury or property
damage. The qualified agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.
Severe shock or damage to the appliance may occur if the appliance is not installed by a qualified installer.
Flame Size
For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to complete
the process. Use a 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 or cook properly.
* These settings are based on using medium thickness aluminum pans with lids. Set-
tings may vary when using other types of pans.
Type of Cooking
Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling
Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steam
Keep foods cooking; poach; stew
*Flame Size
High Flame
Medium Flame
Low Flame
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.
