Install the Cooktop

GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION

Assemble the flexible metal connector from the gas supply

pipe to the gas pressure regulator. You will need to deter-

mine the fittings required, depending on the size of your

gas supply line, flexible metal connector and shut-off

valve. Refer to the illustration below.

Use a pipe joint compound made for use with natural and

LP gas. If a flexible metal connector is used, be sure the

tubing is not kinked.

Open the shut-off valve in the gas supply line. Wait a few

minutes for the gas to move through the line. Refer to the

illustration on page 10.

GAS LEAK TESTING

Use a brush and liquid detergent to test all gas connec-

tions for leaks. Bubbles around connections will indicate a

leak. If a leak appears, shut off the gas supply and adjust

connections. Then check connections again. Clean the

detergent solution from the cooktop.

Verify Cooktop Operation

SURFACE BURNERS

The surface burners use electronic igniters in place of

standing pilots. When the cooktop control knob is pushed

in and turned to the HIGH position, the system creates a

spark to light the burner. This sparking continues until the

electronic ignition senses a flame.

Before lighting, place the burner head and cap on each

burner base and position the burner grates.

To check operation of the surface burners, push in and

turn each control knob to the HIGH position. The flame

should light within four seconds.

If the burners do not light properly, turn each control knob

to the OFF position. Check that burner heads and caps

are in the proper position. Check that the power cord is

plugged in and that the circuit breaker or house fuse has

not blown. Check that the gas shut-off valve is in the open

position. Check operation again, waiting at least five

minutes; if the burners do not light properly, contact Wolf

factory certified service.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Initial lighting of the surface burners

may take slightly longer, as air in the system must be

purged before gas can be supplied to the burner.

Never test for a gas leak with a match or other flame.
