PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS SUPPLY
1
This cooktop is designed to operate on natural
gas at 4s of water column manifold pressure and
7s of water column (W.C.) supply pressure. It is
shipped from the factory set for natural gas. The
convertible pressure regulator supplied with the
unit must be connected in series with the manifold
of the cooktop and must remain in series with the
supply line regardless of whether natural or L.P.
gas is being used. FOR PROPER OPERATION, THE
MAXIMUM INLET PRESSURE TO THE REGULATOR
MUST BE NO MORE THAN 14s OF WATER COLUMN
PRESSURE. For checking the regulator, the inlet
pressure must be at least 1s W.C.. (or 3.4 KPA)
greater than the regulator output setting. If
the regulator is set for 4s W.C. of water column
pressure, the inlet pressure must be at least 5sW.C.
If the regulator is set for 10sW.C., the inlet pressure
must be at least 11sW.C.. The gas supply line to
the cooktop should be 1/2s or 3/4s pipe.

Installation Instructions
CHECK FOR LEAKS
5
Before testing for leaks, make sure all burner knobs
are in the OFF position.
After connecting the cooktop to gas, check system
for leaks with a manometer. If a manometer is not
available, turn the gas supply on to the cooktop
and use a liquid leak detector at all joints and
connections to check for leaks.
Tighten all connections if necessary to prevent gas
leakage in the cooktop or supply line.
DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR
LEAKS!
Disconnect the cooktop and its individual shut-off
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).
Isolate the cooktop from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual shut-off valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply
system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2
psig (3.5 kPa).

EXTENSION CORDS
1
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the
use of an extension cord. However, if you still
elect to use an extension cord, it is absolutely
necessary that it be a UL listed 3-wire grounding
type appliance extension cord and that the
current carrying rating of the cord in amperes be
equivalent to or greater than the branch circuit
rating. Such extension cords are obtainable
through your local appliance dealer.
Disconnect all electrical power
IMPORTANT: (Please read carefully) FOR
PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
PROPERLY GROUNDED.
An adequate electrical supply and outlet must
be used to operate the electrical parts of your
cooktop.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped
A
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which must
be used with a properly grounded 3-hole
outlet with a standard 120 Volt, 60 cycle AC
household current.
B
If you do not have a 3-hole grounded outlet,
have a qualified electrician change your old
one.
A grounding adaptor will be needed to convert
C
the old one until the outlet can be replaced.
This method is only temporary, and a qualified
electrician should test it to be sure it meets
requirements.
N
Insure proper
ground and
L
firm connection
before use
TWO-PRONG WALL RECEPTACLE
3
Where a standard 2-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it is the personal responsibility and
obligation of the customer to have it replaced with
a properly grounded 3-prong wall receptacle.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove
grounding prong from the cooktop cord. Failure
to provide proper polarization may create a
hazardous condition.

Installation Instructions
USAGE SITUATIONS WHERE
4
APPLIANCE POWER CORD
WILL BE DISCONNECTED
INFREQUENTLY
For 15 amp circuit only. Do not use an adaptor
on a 20 amp circuit. Where local codes permit, a
TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly
grounded 2-prong wall receptacle by the use of a
UL-listed adaptor available at most hardware stores.
The larger slot in the adaptor must be aligned with
the large slot in the wall receptacle to provide proper
polarity in the connection of the power cord.
CAUTION
terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not
ground the appliance unless the screw is metal, and
not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded
through the house wiring. The customer should have
the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make
sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord from the
adaptor, always hold the adaptor with one hand. If
this is not done, the adaptor ground terminal is very
likely to break with repeated use. Should this happen,
DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground has
again been established.
Attaching the adaptor ground
Ensure proper ground and firm
connection before use

prongs/slots
Temporary Method
(Adaptor plugs not permitted in Canada)
Usage situation where appliance power cord will be
disconnected frequently.
Do not use an adaptor plug in these situations
because disconnection of the power cord places
undue strain on the adaptor and leads to eventual
failure of the adaptor ground terminal. The customer
should have the 2-prong receptacle replaced with
a 3-prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified
electrician before using the appliance.
