Installation Instructions

Installing the Cooktop

_--_ Provide Adequate

Gas Supply

This cooktop is designed to operate on natural gas at 4" of water column 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 14" OF WATER

COLUMN PRESSURE. For checking the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least

1" (or 3.4 KPA) greater than the regulator output setting. If the regulator is set for 4" of water column pressure, the inlet pressure must be at least 5". If the regulator is set for 10", the inlet pressure must be at least 11".

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

Installing the Regulator

NEVER REUSE OLD 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.

Install the Regulator onto

the burner box bottom.

Screw the regulator and

pipe connection into the burner

box bottom. Make sure the

top of the regulator is facing towards

the cabinet front, easily accessible

through the cabinet doors.

Installation Instructions

Installing the Cooktop cont.

I_ Check for Leaks

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. Check alignment of valves after connecting the cooktop to the gas supply to be sure the manifold pipe has not been moved. A misalignment could cause

the valve knob stem to rub on the control panel, resulting in a gas leak at the valve.

DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS!

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 1/2" psig.

Isolate the cooktop from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2" psig.

Installation Instructions

Installation---ElectricalConnections

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.

PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.

i[ MPORTANT: (Please read carefully) FOR 1!

_--_An adequate electrical supply and outlet

must be used to operate the electrical parts of your cooktop.

_--_ Where a standard two-prong wall

receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-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.

a. The power cord of this appliance is

equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug which must be used with a properly grounded three-hole outlet with a standard

120 Volt, 60 cycle AC household current.

b. Ifyou do not have a three-hole grounded

outlet, have a qualified electrician change your old one.

c. A grounding adaptor will be needed to

convert 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.

Insure proper

ground and

firm connection

before use

Installation Instructions

Installation---ElectricalConnections

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 two-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.

Insure proper ground

IE and firm connection

II (_'l-.. / before use

prongs/slots

Align large

Temporary Method

(Adaptor plugs not permitted

in Canada)

CAUTION: 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 situations 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 two- prong receptacle replaced with a three-prong

(grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician before using the appliance.

Installation Instructions

CooktopBurners

Assembling the Cooktop Burners

the top of the burner is removed. Do not remove the top or touch the electrode of any burner while

I The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed. Be careful not to push any cooktop controls while

another burner is turned on. Electrical shock might result.

For Porcelain Cooktops

a. Place the burner head on the burner base, so

that the pins match up with the slots on the

base. b. Position the burner cap on the burner head. c. Place the burner grate over the burner

assembly on the porcelain units. The bottoms

of the burner grates have feet that fit into

corresponding indentations in the cooktop.

For Glass Ceramic Cooktops

a. Place the burner head on the burner base, so

that the pins match up with the slots on the base.

b. Position the burner cap on the burner head.

c. Place the burner grate over the burner

assembly on the porcelain units. The grates fit over the raised area on the burner head.
