■ 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” on a separate sheet. The wiring diagrams are located on the left underside of the cooktop base.

Gas Supply Requirements

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.

If converting to Propane gas, see the “Propane Gas Conversion” instructions provided in the package containing literature. 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.

Propane 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.

Gas Supply Line

Gas Pressure Regulator

■ Provide a gas supply line of

/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 Propane gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON®† tape. With Propane gas, piping or tubing size should be 1/2" (1.3 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

/2" (1.3 cm) or 3/4" (1.9 cm) I.D. ﬂexible stainless steel tubing gas connector, designed by CSA to connect the cooktop to the rigid gas supply line.

■ A

/2" (1.3 cm) 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.

■ 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.

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

Propane Gas:

Minimum pressure: 10” (25.4 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 should be reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea level (not applicable for Canada).

Gas Supply Pressure Testing

Gas supply pressure for testing regulator must be at least 1” (2.5 cm) water column pressure above the manifold pressure shown on the model/serial rating plate.

Line pressure testing above 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) gauge 14” (35.5 cm) 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

/2 psi (3.5 kPa).

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