Important Installation Suggestions

1. Chamfer all exposed edges of decorative laminate to

prevent damage from chipping.

2. Radius corners of cutout and file to insure smooth

edges and prevent corner cracking.

3. Rough edges, inside corners which have not been

rounded and forced fits can contribute to cracking of the
countertop laminate.

4. Countertop must be supported within 3

²

of cutout.

On any burner, closing the air shutter too far will
cause the flame to become soft and yellow tipped.
Opening the air shutter too wide will cause the flame
to blow away from the burner ports. Proper adjustment
will produce a sharp, clearly defined, even blue flame.

Low Flame Adjustment

(See Illustration “C”)

This appliance is shipped from the factory with low and
medium flame settings adjusted for use with Natural Gas.
If further adjustment is necessary, or to re-adjust for use
with LP, proceed as follows:

1. Light burner and set control knob for low flame.

2. Remove control knob from valve stem.

CAUTION:

NEVER USE A METAL BLADE TO PRY

KNOB

OFF.

IF

KNOB

CANNOT

BE

EASILY

REMOVED, TUCK THE FOLDS OF A CLOTH
DISHTOWEL UNDER THE KNOB AND PULL THE
TOWEL UPWARD WITH STEADY, EVEN PRES-
SURE.

3. Insert a slender, thin-blade screwdriver into the recess

at center of valve stem and engage blade with slot in
adjusting screw.

4. Turn center stem adjusting screw to set flame size.

. . . clockwise to reduce.
. . . counterclockwise to increase.

5. Replace control knob when adjustment is completed.

Proper adjustment will produce a stable, steady blue flame
of minimum size. The final adjustment should be checked
by turning knob from high to low several times without
extinguishing the flame.

This adjustment, at low setting, will automatically provide
the proper flame size at medium setting.
