Ensure the following requirements are met before you try to connect the appliance to the gas supply:

•  The appliance is shipped from the factory for use with natural gas. If you want to use propane gas it must be converted. A qualified technician or installer must do the conversion.
•  Before connecting the appliance, please check whether the local connection conditions such as gas type and gas pressure match the appliance settings.
•  Make sure the gas supply is turned off at the manual shutoff valve before connecting the appliance.
•  The gas connection must be in a location that permits access to the manual shut-off valve and which, if applicable, is visible after opening the door of the cabinet.
•  The metal flex gas line must not come into contact with moving parts of the fitted unit (e.g. drawers) or be laid in areas where it could become trapped or damaged.
•  The metal flex gas line must not come into contact with a cooktop, oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, washing machine, hot water pipe, radiator or any other appliance installed in the vicinity of the gas cooktop.
•  The metal flex gas line must not be subject to rubbing, vibrations, kinking or any other kind of deformation. It should be checked along its entire length with the cooktop in the installation position.

Checking the gas line for leaks
Important notes for gas connection:

1. The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing at pressures in excess of ½ psi
2.  The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
3.  Turn on gas.
4.  Apply a soap solution or non-corrosive leak detection fluid to all joints and fittings in the gas connection between the shut-off valve and the cooktop. Also check gas fittings and joints in the cooktop if the connections may have been disturbed during installation. Bubbles appearing around fittings and connections indicate a leak.
5. If a leak appears, turn off the supply line gas shut-off valve and tighten the connections.
6.  Retest for leaks by turning on the supply line gas shutoff valve. a When the leak check is complete and no bubbles appear, the test is complete.
7. Wipe off all soap solution or detection fluid residue.
    Connecting the electrical supply
   CAUTION
   Before you plug in the electrical cord, make sure that the gas shut-off valve and all burner controls are in the OFF position.
8.  Connect the plug of the electrical cord to a grounded power outlet. The outlet must be accessible after the installation of the appliance is complete.

 Assembling the burner parts

The burner parts must be properly placed for the cooktop to function properly.
Note
If the burner parts are not properly placed, one or more of the following problems may occur:

•  The burner flames are too high.
•  Flames shoot out of the burners.
•  The burners do not ignite.
•  The burner flames light unevenly.
•  The burners emit gas odor.

. Assemble the burner parts according to the illustration.

Check to make sure that there is no gap between the burner parts. You may gently try to move the burner parts from side to side to check if they are properly seated.

OptiSim® feature
The OptiSim® burner cap has been designed to work with the small burner at the front left position of the cooktop. It is used to provide optimal simmering for delicate sauces while minimizing the risk of scorching. Installing the OptiSim® burner cap

•  Place the burner cap on the burner base, so that the lower protrusion locks in place in the center of the burner base. a When properly installed the OptiSim® burner cap will extend beyond the burner base and raised surface.
  Installing the burner grates
  WARNING
  Improperly positioned grates can cause flare-ups.
•  Position all grates properly on the cooktop whenever the cooktop is in use to properly support pots and avoid spills.
•  Make sure each of the four feet of the grates is placed into the corresponding dimples on the cooktop surface.
•  Do not use a grate if the rubber feet are missing or damaged.

•  NGMP658UC
   Checking the installation
  Check if your unit is working properly after you have completed the installation steps.
  WARNING
  Before you turn on the power supply, make sure all controls are in the OFF position. Requirement: The burner caps are properly positioned.
•  Verify that the electric igniters are working.
•  Check the flame characteristics.
  The flame should be blue with a minimal yellow tip on the outer cone.

Conversion to LP gas

Your appliance is equipped for use with natural gas on delivery. It can be changed to LP gas supply. The components required for conversion to LP Gas are contained in the conversion kit included with this appliance, or are available from Customer Service. Customer Service”, Page 15 Only a licensed specialist is authorized to switch the appliance to another gas type. Before carrying out the conversion, turn off the electricity and gas supply.
Converting the pressure regulator

1.  Locate the pressure regulator on the bottom right end of the appliance. Remove the hexagon shaped cap from the regulator. Make sure not to dislodge the gasket on the cap or the spring inside the regulator.
2.  Grasp the plastic button stem firmly and pull it forcefully from the metal cap . The stem snaps snugly into an indent in the cap and may require a strong pull to remove. It may be helpful to gently “rock” the plastic stem while pulling it from the metal cap.
3.  Rotate the stem 180° .
4. The button end of the stem is away from the cap.
5.  The letters “LP” on the stem are upside down when the cap is set flat on its head.
6.  Snap the stem back in place in this position inserting it into the indent in the metal cap .

IMPORTANT: Attach the metallic sticker included with the conversion kit to the bottom of the appliance as shown. This sticker provides notice that the appliance has been converted for use with LP gas. It should be located near the appliance rating plate.
“Rating plate location”
7. If you change the type of gas back to natural gas at a later point, remove the sticker.

Replacing the orifices

1.  Remove all burner grates, burner caps and burner bases.
2.  Replace the orifices with a 7 mm socket wrench. See
   Burner chart
3. Normal burner with one orifice Dual-flame burner, first orifice Dual-flame burner, second orifice It is important to make sure that the orifices do not become detached during removal or fastening. They must be properly tightened to ensure that there are no leaks. The primary air does not have to be adjusted.
4.  Fasten the orifices and replace the burner caps to the corresponding burners.
5. Put the burner grates in place.
6. Save the orifices removed from the appliance for future use.
   Adjusting the gas valves
   1.  Turn the control knobs to position off.
   2.  Carefully lift off the burner grates, remove the burner caps and the burner bases.
   3.  Pull off the control knobs.
   4.  Remove the main top from the cooktop.
   5.  Remove the electronics pack from the control panel.
   6.  Remove the white disks from the valve stems.

Adjust the black T10 star head setting screw with a T10 star head screwdriver. Refer to the burner chart for the correct setting of the setting screws (M).

1.  “Burner chart”, Page 15
2.  Use setting for LP Gas. The setting screws must be tightened properly.
3.  Use setting for natural gas. The setting screws must finish flush with the fitting.
   The dual-flame burner has 2 setting screws.
4.  Replace the white disks and the electronics pack.
5.  Reinstall the main top and the control knobs.
6. Place the burner caps and the burner grates back in position.
7. Turn the control knob between the highest and lowest setting. Make sure the flame does not go out and there are no flashbacks. Note: In the event of damage, the valve must be completely replaced.
