GFCIs are devices that sense leakage of current in
a circuit and automatically switch off power when
a threshold leakage level is detected.
These devices must be manually reset by the
customer.
The National Electrical Code requires the use of
GFCIs in kitchen receptacles installed to serve
countertop surfaces.
Performance of the cooktop will not be affected if
it is operated from a circuit protected by a GFCI,
but resetting the circuit can become a nuisance.
CAUTION
• If needed, have the circuit checked by a qualified
technician to make sure the receptacle is
correctly grounded.
DO NOT use an adapter plug because
disconnection of the power cord places undue
strain on the adapter and causes eventual failure
of the adapter ground terminal.
If only a two-prong wall receptacle is available, it
must be replaced with a three-prong (grounding)
receptacle by a qualified electrician before
plugging in the cooktop.
The installation of appliances designed for
manufactured (mobile) home installation must
conform with the Manufactured Home
Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR,
Part 3280 [formerly the Federal Standard for
Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24,
HUD (Part 280)] or with local codes where
applicable.
4. Sealing the Openings
Seal any openings in the wall behind the cooktop
and in the floor of the cabinet when hookups are
completed.
5. Assembling the Surface Burners
CAUTION
• DO NOT operate the burners without all parts in
place.
Place the burner caps and heads on the cooktop.
Make sure that the caps and heads are placed in
the correct locations.

6. Checking Ignition of Surface
Burners
Operation of all cooktop burners should be
checked after the cooktop and gas supply lines
have been carefully checked for leaks.
Electric Ignition
Select a top burner knob, push down and then
turn counterclockwise to the LITE position.
You can hear a clicking sound indicating proper
operation of the spark module.
Once the air has been purged from the supply
lines, burners should ignite within 4 seconds.
After the burner ignites, rotate the knob out of the
LITE position. Try each burner in succession until
all burners have been checked.
The combustion quality of the burner flames
needs to be confirmed visually.
