Explosion Hazard

Use a new AGA or CSA approved

gas supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.

Securely tighten a_t gas
con nections.

If connected to LP, have a
qualified person make sure gas
pressure does not exceed 14"

water column.

Examples of a quamified 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: Cooktop must be connected
to a regulated gas supply,

A RThis installation must conform with

local codes and ordinances. In the
absence of local codes, installations must

conform with American National
Standard, National Fuel Gas Code ANSI

Z22&1 --latest edition** or CANI --
B149.1 or 2**.

BE Input ratings shown on the

model/serial rating plate are for elevations
up to 2,000 feet (610 m). For elevations
above 2,000 feet (610 m), ratings are

reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000

feet (305 m) above sea level.

EThe cooktop is equipped for use

with NATURAL gas. It is design-certified

by CSA International for NATURAL and
LR gases with appropriate conversion.

The model/serial rating plate, located on
the underside of the burner box, has

information on the type of gas that can be
used. Ifthis information does not agree

with the type of gas available, check with

the local gas supplier. See Page 2 for LR
gas conversion instructions.

mProvide a gas supply line of 3/4"
rigid pipe to the cooktop location. A
smaller size pipe on long runs may result
in insufficient gas supply. Pipe-joint
compounds, suitable for use with L.R gas,
must be used. With LR gas, piping or
tubing size can be 1/2" minimum. LR gas
suppliers usually determine the size and
materials used on the system.

E mIf local codes permit, a new AGA or

CSA design-certified, 4-5 foot (! .2-1.5 m)
long, 1/2" or 3/4" I.D., flexible metal
appliance connector is recommended for
connecting this cooktop to the gas supply
line. Do Not kink or damage the flexible
connector when moving the cooktop. The
pressure regulator has 3/8" female pipe

threads. You will need to determine the

fittings required, depending on the size of

your gas supply line, flexible metal
connector and shutoff valve.

/ _-_J gas supply

F line

EThe supply line shall be equipped

with an approved shutoff valve. This valve

should be located in the same room as
the cooktop and should be in a location

that allows ease of opening and closing.
Do Not block access to the shutoff valve.

The valve is for turning on or shutting off
gas to the appliance.

G.if rigid pipe __

is used as a gas
supply line, a combination of pipe Ill

fittings must be used to obtain an in-line

connection to the cooktop. All strains
must be removed from the supply and

fuel lines so cooktop will be level and in

line.

mThe regulator must be checked at
a minimum 1-inch (2.5 cm) water column
above the set pressure. The inlet pressure

to the regulator should be as follows for
operation and checking the regulator

setting:
NATURAL GAS:

Set pressure 4 inches (10.2 cm).
Supply pressure 7-14 inches (17.8 cm
to 35.5 cm) maximum.

L.P. GAS:
Minimum pressure 10 inches (28.4 cm).

Supply pressure 14 inches (38.8 cm).

mLine pressure testing:
Testing above 1t2 psi (3.8 kPa)
(14 inches (38.6 cm)) W.C. (gauge)
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
greater than 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).

Testing below 1t2 psi (3.8 kPa)
(14 inches (38.6 cm)) WoC.(gauge) 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 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3-prong

outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.

Failure to follow these
instructions can result in death,

fire, or emectricamshock.

tf codes permit and a separate ground
wire is used, it is recommended that a

qualified electrician determine that the
ground path is adequate.

Check with a qualified electrician if

you are not sure whether the cooktop

is properly grounded.
Do Not ground to a gas pipe.

A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15-ampere,
fused electrical supply is required. A

time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is
recommended. It is recommended that a

separate circuit serving only this
appliance be provided.

Recommended ground method

For your personal safety, this cooktop
must be grounded. This cooktop is
equipped with a 3-prong ground plug. To
minimize possible shock hazard, the cord
must be plugged into a mating 3-prong
ground-type outlet, grounded in

accordance with the National Electrical
Code ANSI/NFPA 70 latest edition* or

Canadian Electrical Code (CSA)** -- and
local codes and ordinances. If a mating
outlet is not available, it is the personal

turned to the "LITE" position, the system
creates a spark to light the burner. This
sparking continues until the control knob
is turned to the desired setting.
