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 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.
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:
Canadian Standards Association 178 Rexdale Blvd.
Toronto, ON M9W 1R3 CANADA
• 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 wiring diagrams are provided with this cooktop. See "Wiring Diagrams" section.
Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line.
Install a shut=off valve. Securely tighten aii 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 CAN/CGA B149 - latest edition. IMPORTANT: Leak testing of the range must be conducted
according to the manufacturer's instructions.
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. To convert to LP gas, see the Gas Conversion instructions provided in the package containing literature. The model/ serial rating plate located on the right/center 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.
LP Gas conversion: Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician.
No attempt shall be made to convert the appliance 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.
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 can be 1/2"minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers determine the size and materials used in the system.
1-®TEFLON is a registered trademark of E.I. Du Pont De Nemours and Company.
Flexible metal appliance connector:
• If local codes permit, use a W' 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 3/8"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 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.
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" (15.2 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).
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.

INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS
Decide on the final location for the cooktop.
1. Place the cooktop upside down on a covered work surface. Clean along the outside surface of the cooktop where the foam strip will be applied.
2. Remove foam strip from package containing literature. Remove backing from foam strip. Apply foam strip adhesive- side down around bottom of cooktop, flush with edge.
NOTE: The foam strip helps keep the underside of the cooktop glass free from debris and helps the cooktop sit flat
on uneven counters.
Gas Supply Pressure Testing
Line pressure testing above 1/2psi gauge (14" WCP)
The appliance 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" WOP) or lower The appliance 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).
