3.2 Gas Supply Connection:

This cooktop is designed for use with either LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas) or NG (Natural Gas). It comes equipped with LPG/NG convertible nozzles. Ensure the correct nozzles are installed for your gas supply type. If converting, follow the instructions provided with the conversion kit or consult a qualified technician.

3.3 Electrical Connection:

The electronic ignition system requires a 120V electrical connection. Ensure a grounded outlet is available near the installation site.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Burner Ignition:

  1. Push down the desired control knob and turn it counter-clockwise to the 'ON' position.
  2. The electronic igniter will spark, igniting the gas.
  3. Once the burner is lit, continue to hold the knob down for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up and engage the safety valve.
  4. Release the knob. If the flame extinguishes, repeat the process.

4.2 Flame Adjustment:

After ignition, rotate the control knob to adjust the flame intensity. Turn clockwise for a lower flame and counter-clockwise for a higher flame. The cooktop features two burners with distinct power outputs:

  • Large Burner: Max 12250BTU, suitable for rapid boiling and high-heat cooking.
  • Small Burner: Max 3750BTU, ideal for simmering and low-heat tasks.

4.3 Automatic Shutdown Protection:

This cooktop is equipped with a thermocouple flameout failure system. If the flame on a burner accidentally goes out (e.g., due to a draft or boil-over), the system will automatically detect the absence of heat and shut off the gas supply to that burner, preventing gas leaks.
