4. Provide an Adequate Gas Supply

This cooktop is designed to operate on natural gas at 4" (10.2 cm) 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" (35.6 cm) of water column (W.C.) pressure.

For checking the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1" (2.5 cm) (or 2.5 kPa) greater than the regulator manifold pressure setting. The regulator is set for 4" (10.2 cm) of manifold pressure, the inlet pressure must be at least 5" (12.7 cm).

The gas supply line to the cooktop should be ½" (1.3 cm) or ¾" (7.9 cm) pipe.

5. 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.

If you wish to convert your cooktop for use with LP/ Propane gas, use the supplied ﬁxed oriﬁces in the package containing the installation Instructions Manual, in a bag marked "FOR LP/PROPANE GAS CONVERSION". Follow the installation instructions packaged with the oriﬁces.

The conversion must be performed by a qualiﬁed service technician in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and all local codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. 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 personal injury and property damage.

Assemble the ﬂexible connector from the gas supply pipe to the pressure regulator in order: 1- manual shutoff valve, 2- ½" nipple, 3- ½" ﬂare union adapter, 4- ﬂexible connector, 5- ½" ﬂare union adapter, 6- ½" nipple, pressure regulator.

6. 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.

FIRE HAZARD. 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.

Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gas to move through the gas line.

Check for leaks. Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted according to the manufacturer's instructions. 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.

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.

GAS COOKTOP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Check alignment of valves after connecting the

cooktop to the gas supply to be sure the cooktop manifold pipe has not been moved.

Disconnect this cooktop and its individual shutoff valve from the gas supply piping system during any

pressure testing of that system at test pressures greater than ½ psig (3.5 kPa or 14" (35.6 cm) 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 ½ psig (3.5 kPa or 14" (35.6 cm) water column).

7. Connect Electricity to Gas Cooktop

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. IMPORTANT Please read carefully. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly

grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong grounding wall receptacle (see Figure 7) to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from the appliance.

The wall receptacle and circuit should be checked by a qualiﬁed electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

Preferred Method

Grounding type wall receptacle

Do not, under any

circumstances, cut,

remove, or bypass

the grounding

prong.

Power supply cord with

3-prong grounding plug

Where a standard 2-prong wall receptacle is installed, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the consumer to have it replaced by a properly grounded 3-prong wall receptacle.

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

Disconnect electrical supply cord from wall

receptacle before servicing cooktop.

8. Check Operation

Refer to the Use and Care Guide packaged with the cooktop for operating instructions and for care and cleaning of your cooktop.

1. Remove foam caps.

2. Turn on Electrical Power and Open Main Shutoff Gas Valve

3. Check the Igniters

Operation of electric igniters should be checked

after cooktop and supply line connectors have been carefully checked for leaks and the cooktop has been connected to electric power.

To operate the surface burner:

A. Push in and turn a surface burner knob to the

LITE position. You will hear a small ticking noise; this is the sound of the electric ignitor which lights the burner.

B. After the burner lights, turn to the desired ﬂame

size. The controls do not have to be set at a particular mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the ﬂame as needed.

Figure 7

GAS COOKTOP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
