NOTES:

After making the countertop cutout, some installations may require notching down the base cabinet side walls to clear the cooktop base. To avoid this modification, use a base cabinet with

sidewalls wider than the cutout.

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.

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

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

CSA International

8501 East Pleasant Valley Road

Cleveland, Ohio 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 cooktop 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.

• The Tech Sheet provided is located inside the cooktop on the left wall of the cooktop base.

Explosion Hazard

Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line. Install a shut=off valve.

Securely tighten all gas connections. If connected to LP, 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.

Gas Supply Line

• 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 insufficient gas supply. Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of LP gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON ®ttape. With LP gas, piping or tubing size should be 1/2"minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers determine the size and materials used in the system.

Flexible metal appliance connector:

• If local codes permit, use a 1/2"or 3/4"I.D. flexible stainless

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

• A 1/2"male pipe thread is needed for connection to the

female pipe threads of the inlet to the cooktop pressure regulator.

• Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when

moving the cooktop.

Rigid pipe connection:

The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe fittings to obtain an in-line connection to the cooktop. The rigid pipe must be level with the cooktop connection. All strains must be removed from the supply and fuel lines so cooktop will be level and in line.

Type of Gas

Natural Gas:

This cooktop is design-certified by CSA International for use with Natural gas or, after proper conversion, for use with LP gas.

• This cooktop is factory set for use with Natural gas. If converting to LP gas, see the following "LP Gas Conversion" section. The model/serial rating plate located on the underside of the cooktop base 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.

LP Gas Conversion: Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician.

No attempt shall be made to convert the cooktop from the gas specified 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

literature.

Must include a shutoff valve: The supply line must be equipped with a manual shutoff

valve. This valve should be located in the same room but external to the cooktop opening, such as an adjacent

cabinet. It should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the cooktop.

Gas Pressure Regulator

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: 5" (12.7 cm) WCP

Maximum pressure: 7" to 14" (17.8 cm to 35.5 cm) WCP

LP 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.

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 LP gas conversion instructions sheet.

Gas Supply Pressure Testing

Gas supply pressure for testing regulator must be at least 1" water column pressure above the manifold pressure shown on

the model/serial rating plate.

Line pressure testing above 1/2psi gauge (14" WCP)

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

Line pressure testing at 1/2psi gauge (14" WCP) or lower The cooktop must be isolated from the gas supply piping system

by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2psi (3.5 kPa).
