Location Requirements

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Donot obstruct ow of combustion and ventilation air.

■ It is the installer’s responsibility to comply with installation

clearances specied on the model/serial/rating plate. The
model/serial/rating plate is located on the underside of the
cooktop burner box.

■ Do not unpack the burner grate and base(s) until after the

cooktop is installed to avoid scratching the cooktop.

■ The cooktop should be installed in a location away from

strong draft areas, such as windows, doors, and strong
heating vents or fans.

■ All openings in the wall or oor where cooktop is to be

installed must be sealed.

■ Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used.

Given dimensions are minimum clearances.

■ Grounded and polarized electrical supply is required. See the

“Electrical Requirements” section.

■ Proper gas supply connection must be available. See the

“Gas Supply Requirements” section.

■ The gas and electric supply should be located as shown in

“Gas and Electric Connection Locations” in the “Location
Requirements” section so that they are accessible without
requiring removal of the cooktop.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to your cabinets, check with
your builder or cabinet supplier to make sure that the materials
used will not discolor, delaminate, or sustain other damage.

IMPORTANT: If multiple units are installed side by side, the
mounting bridge kit W11031680 is needed for proper installation.

NOTE: After making the countertop cutout, some installations
may require notching down the base cabinet side walls to clear
the burner box. To avoid this modication, use a base cabinet
with sidewalls wider than the cutout.

If cabinet has a drawer, a 4" (10.2 cm) depth clearance from the
countertop to the top of the drawer (or other obstruction) in base
cabinet is required. The drawer depth may need to be shortened
to avoid interfering with the regulator and power cord.

Electrical Requirements

Gas Supply Requirements

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.

IMPORTANT: The cooktop must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes and ordinances, or in the absence
of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70
or Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.

This cooktop is equipped with an electronic ignition system
that will not operate if plugged into an outlet that is not properly
polarized.

This cooktop is equipped with an electronic ignition system that
will not operate properly if plugged into a ground fault interrupt
circuit.

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualied electrical installer determine
thatthe ground path is adequate.

A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:

National Fire Protection Association

Quincy, MA 02169-7471

CSA International

8501 East Pleasant Valley Road

Cleveland, OH 44131-5575

■ A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15 amp fused, electrical circuit

is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is also
recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this range be provided.

■ Electronic ignition systems operate within wide voltage limits,

but proper grounding and polarity are necessary. Check that
the outlet provides 120 volt power and is correctly grounded.

■ This gas cooktop is not required to be plugged into a GFCI

(Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet or AFCI (Arc Fault
Circuit Interrupter) type circuit breaker. It is recommended
that you not plug an electric spark ignition gas cooktop or
any other major appliance into a GFCI wall outlet or a AFCI
breaker as it may cause these types of circuit breaker to trip
during normal cycling.

■ Performance of this cooktop will not be affected if operated

on a GFCI/AFCI-protected circuit. However, occasional
nuisance tripping of the GFCI/AFCI breaker is possible due
to the normal operating nature of electronic gas cooktops.

■ The wiring diagram is provided with this cooktop. It is

located inside the cooktop burner box.

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line.

Install a shut-off valve.

Securely tighten all gas connections.

If connected to propane, have a qualified person make
sure gas pressure does not exceed 14" (36 cm) water
column.

Examples of a qualified person include:

licensed heating personnel,
authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
IMPORTANT: This installation must conform with all local codes

and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, installation must
conform with American National Standard, National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition or CAN/CGA B149 - latest
edition.

IMPORTANT: Leak testing of the cooktop must be conducted
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Type of Gas

Natural Gas:

This cooktop is factory-set for use with Natural gas. To convert
to Propane gas, see the Gas Conversion instructions provided
in the package containing the literature. The model/serial/rating
plate located on the underside of the burner box has information
on the types of gas that can be used. If the types of gas listed
do not include the type of gas available, check with the local
gassupplier.

Propane Gas conversion:

Conversion must be done by a qualied service technician.
No attempt shall be made to convert the appliance from the gas

specied on the model/serial/rating plate for use with a different
gas without consulting the serving gas supplier. See the Gas
Conversion instructions provided in the package containing
theliterature.

5

Gas Supply Line

Gas Pressure Regulator

■ Provide a gas supply line of 3/4" (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the

cooktop location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may
result in insufcient gas supply. Pipe-joint compounds that
resist the action of Propane gas must be used. Do not use
TEFLON®† tape. With Propane gas, piping or tubing size can
be 1/2" (1.6 cm) minimum. Usually, Propane gas suppliers
determine the size and materials used in the system.

Flexible metal appliance connector:

■ If local codes permit, use a 5/8" (1.6 cm) exible stainless

steel tubing gas connector, designed by CSA to connect
the cooktop to the rigid gas supply line.

NOTE: For multi-unit installations, a single shut-off valve
is acceptable. Each unit must have its own regulator
(supplied with the unit) and exible stainless steel tubing
gas connector.

■ A 1/2" (1.3 cm) male pipe thread is needed for

connection to the female pipe threads of the inlet to the
appliance pressure regulator.

■ Do not kink or damage the exible metal tubing when

moving the cooktop.

■ Must include a shut-off valve:

Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in an easily accessible
location. Do not block access to shut-off valve. The valve is
for turning on or shutting off gas to the cooktop.

A

C

A. Gas supply line
B. Shut-off valve open position
C. To cooktop

The gas pressure regulator supplied with this cooktop must be
used. The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows for
proper operation:

Natural Gas:

Minimum pressure: 6” (15.2 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 14” (35.5 cm) WCP

Propane Gas:

Minimum pressure: 11” (27.9 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 14” (35.5 cm) WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet

pressure.
NOTE: For multi-unit installations, each unit must have its own

regulator (supplied with the unit).

Burner Input Requirements

Input ratings shown on the model/serial/rating plate are for
elevations up to 2,000 ft (609.6 m).

For elevations above 2,000 ft (609.6 m), ratings are reduced at
a rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea level (not
applicable for Canada).

For elevations above 6,560 ft (1999.5 m), a high altitude kit
is needed to avoid any reduced power output. See separate
Propane gas conversion instructions sheet.

Gas Supply Pressure Testing

Line pressure testing above 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) gauge
[14” (35.6 cm) WCP]

The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of
1/2psi (3.5 kPa).

Line pressure testing at 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) gauge
[14” (35.6 cm) WCP] or lower

The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
