Provide an Adequate Gas Supply

This cooktop is designed to operate on natural gas at 4" of manifold pressure only.

A pressure regulator is connected in series with the manifold on the cooktop and must remain in series with the supply line.

For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure to the regulator must be no more than 14" of water column (W.C.) pressure.

For checking the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1" (or 2.5 kPa) greater than the regulator manifold pressure setting. The regulator is set for 4" of manifold pressure, the inlet pressure must be at least 5".

The gas supply line to the range should be 1/2" or 3/4" pipe.

LP/Propane Gas Conversion

This appliance can be used with Natural gas or LP/ Propane gas. It is shipped from the factory for use with natural gas.

A kit for converting to LP gas is supplied with your cooktop. The kit is marked "FOR LP/PROPANE GAS CONVERSION".

The conversion must be performed by a qualified service technician in accordance with the kit instructions and all local codes and requirements. Failure to follow instructions could result in serious injury or property damage. The qualified agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.

Failure to make the appropriate conversion can result in serious personal injury and property damage.

Important: Remove all packing material and literature from cooktop before connecting gas and electrical supply to cooktop.

Install Pressure Regulator

Install the pressure regulator with the arrow on the regulator pointing up toward the unit in a position where you can reach the access cap.

Do not make the connection too tight. The regulator is die cast. Overtightening may crack the regulator resulting in a gas leak and possible fire or explosion.

Once regulator is in place, open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gas to move through the gas line.

Check for leaks. After connecting the cooktop to the gas supply, check the system for leaks with a manometer. If a manometer is not available, turn on the gas supply and use a liquid leak detector (or soap and water) at all joints and connections to check for leaks.

Use pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural and LP/Propane gas to seal all gas connections. If flexible connectors are used, be certain connectors are not kinked.

The supply line must be equipped with an approved manual shutoff valve. This valve should be located in the same room as the cooktop and should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to the shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance.

Do not use a flame to check for leaks from gas connections. Checking for leaks with a flame may result in a fire or explosion.

Tighten all connections if necessary to prevent gas leakage in the cooktop or supply line.

Check alignment of control knob valves after connecting the cooktop to the gas supply to be sure the cooktop manifold pipe has not moved. A misalignment could cause the valve stems to rub on the control panel, resulting in a gas leak at the valve.

Disconnect this cooktop and its individual manual shutoff valve from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures greater than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa or 14" water column).

Isolate the cooktop 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 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa or 14" water column).

Electrical Requirements

120 volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded branch circuit protected by a 15 amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse.

Do not use an extension cord with this cooktop.

Grounding Instructions

IMPORTANT Please read carefully.

For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
