INSTALLATION--GAS CONNECTIONS

r_ 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

HAXIHUH INLET PRESSURETO THE REGULATOR

HUST BE NO HaRE THAN 24" OF WATER COLUHN

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.

r_ INSTALL REGULATOR

NEVER REUSEOLD CONNECTORS WHEN

INSTALLING THIS COOKTOP.

,AWARNING: 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

[_ 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 FLAHE 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

Becauseof 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 isabsolutely

necessary that it be a UL listed ]-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.

IMPORTANT: (Pleaseread carefully)FOR

PERSONAL SAFETY,THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE

PROPERLY GROUNDED.

[_ ELECTRICAL SUPPLY AND OUTLET

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 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.

Insure proper

ground and

firm connection

before use

r_ 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 TEHPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded 2-prong wall receptacle by the use of o

UL-listed adaptor available ot 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

Align Iorge

(Adoptor plugs not permitted in Conodo)

Temporary Method

A r'All_l,,_LI

AIIkL,/_LI/IUI_I: Attoching the odoptor ground terminol to the woll receptocle cover screw does not ground the opplionce unless the screw is metal, ond

not insuloted, ond the woll receptocle is grounded through the house wiring. The customer should hove the circuit checked by o quolified electricion 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 on odoptor plug in these situotions

because disconnection of the power cord places undue stroin on the odoptor ond leods to eventuol foilure of the odoptor ground terminol. The customer should hove the 2-prong receptocle reploced with o 3-prong (grounding) receptocle by o quolified electricion before using the opplionce.

COOKTOP BURNERS

Installation Instructions

ASSEMBLING THE COOKTOP

BURNERS

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

Do not remove the top or touch the electrode

of any burner while another burner is turned on.

Electrical shock might result.

D Replace the burner head onto the burner

base, making sure that the head is properly

oriented over the burner base and the electrode. Hake sure to place

the correct burner head on the correct burner

base and that the burner head sits level on

the burner base. The burner heads are not interchangeable.

Place the burner

caps on the burner

heads, making sure

to place the correct

burner cap on the

correct burner

head. The burner

caps are not interchangeable.

Hake sure that the burner caps are

properly seated on

the burner heads.

Burner cap properly seated

Burner cap not properly seated

Make sure the pins in

the burner heads match the burner base indentations

and that they are properly seated in them by rotating the heads until they are

level.

Make sure the slot in the burner head

is positioned over the

electrode. The burner cap

has three to four

pins. When replacing the cap, make

sure none of the pins sits

in the stability chamber.

Hake sure the hole in the burner

head assembly is positioned over the

electrode and that the burner head is

fully inserted inside the burner base. A

small gap between the base and head is

normal.
