INSTALLATION--GAS CONNECTIONS

PROVIDE ADEQUATE

GAS SUPPLY

This cooktop is designed to operate on natural
gas at 4" of water column manifold pressure and

7" 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 PROPEROPERATION, THE

MAXIMUM INLET PRESSURETO THE REGULATOR

MUST BE NO MORE THAN 14" OF WATER COLUMN

PRESSURE.For checking the regulator, the inlet

pressure must be at least 1" W.C.. (or 3.4 KPA)
greater than the regulator output setting. If
the regulator is set for 4" W.C. of water column

pressure, the inlet pressure must be at least 5" W.C.

If the regulator is set for 10" W.C., the inlet pressure

must be at least 11" W.C.. The gas supply line to
the cooktop should be 1/2" or 3/4" pipe.

_l INSTALL REGULATOR

NEVER REUSEOLD CONNECTORS WHEN

INSTALLING THIS COOKTOP.

.&WARNING: Never reuse old flexible

connectors. The use of old flexible connectors
can cause gas leaks and personal injury. Always

use new flexible connectors when installing a gas
appliance.

Installation Instructions

_-I CHECK FOR LEAKS

Before testing for leoks, moke sure oll burner knobs
(]re in the OFF position.

After connecting the cooktop to gas, check system
for leaks with (] manometer. If (] manometer is not

available, turn the gas supply on to the cooktop
and use (] liquid leak detector at (]lljoints 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 kP(]).

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 kP(]).

EXTENSION CORDS

Because of potential safety hazords under certoin
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 B-wire grounding
type applionce extension cord ond thot the
current carrying rating of the cord in amperes be
equivalent to or greoter than the branch circuit

roting. Such extension cords ore obtoinoble
through your Iocol opplionce deoler.

IMPORTANT: (Pleosereod corefully)FOR

PERSONAL SAFETY,THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE

PROPERLY GROUNDED.

ELECTRICAL SUPPLY AND OUTLET

An odequote electricol supply ond outlet must
be used to operote the electricol ports of your
cooktop.

The power cord of this applionce is equipped
with o 3-prong (grounding) plug which must
be used with o properly grounded 3-hole
outlet with u standard 120 Volt, 60 cycle AC

household current.
If you do not hove o 3-hole grounded outlet,

hove o quolified electricion chonge your old
one.

A grounding oduptor will be needed to convert
the old one until the outlet con be reploced.
This method is only temporary, ond a qualified

electricion should test it to be sure it meets
requirements.

Insure proper

ground ond

firm connection

before use

TWO-PRONG WALL RECEPTACLE

Where a standard 2-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it is the personal responsibility and
obligation of the customer to hove it replaced with
u properly grounded B-prong wall receptacle.

Do not under any circumstonces cut or remove
grounding prong from the cooktop cord. Failure
to provide proper polarization may create u

hazardous condition.

Installation Instructions

USAGE SITUATIONS WHERE
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.

Ensure proper ground and firm
connection before use

prongs/slots

Align large 1_

(Adaptor plugs not permitted in Canada)

Temporary Method

A _^,|'T'|_L,

_ILI,.,/'_U/IU I_1: Attaching the adaptor ground
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.

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.
