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 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" 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.

Installation Instructions
[] CHECK FOR LEAKS
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).

[]
equipped 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.
[]
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 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 L ground and
Ensure proper

[] TWO-PRONG WALL
RECEPTACLE
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
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.
Ensure proper ground and
firm connection before use
prongs/slots
Align large
(Adaptor plugs not permitted in Canada)
Temporary Method
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 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.
