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 LP. gas is

being used.
FOR PROPEROPERATION, THE MAXIMUH INLET

PRESSURETO THE REGULATOR MUST BE NO HaRE

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.

J_ INSTALL REGULATOR

NEVER REUSEOLD CONNECTORS WHEN
INSTALLING THIS COOKTOP.

WARNING: Neverreuseold

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 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).

before installing.

r_ EXTENSION CORDS

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.

IMPORTANT: (Pleaseread carefully)FOR

PERSONAL SAFETY,THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE

PROPERLY GROUNDED.

[Z] 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.

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 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.

Ensure proper

L ground and

firmconnection

beforeuse

[_] 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

INFREOUENTLY

For 15 amp circuit only. Do not use Gn adaptor
on a 20 Gmp circuit. Where local codes permit, a
TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to G properly
grounded two-prong wGII receptacle by the use of a

UL-listed adaptor available at most hardware stores.
The larger slot in the adaptor must be Gligned with
the large slot in the wall receptacle to provide proper

polarity in the connection of the power cord.

Ensure proper ground and firm

II connection before use

prongs/slots

Align Iorge

(Adoptor plugs not permitted in Conodo)

Temporory Method

A CAUTION: Attaching the adaptor ground

terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not
ground the GppliGnce unless the screw is metal, and

not insulated, Gnd 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.
