L.P. Gas:

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. Conversion must be

done by a qualified service technician. To

convert to L.P. gas, use L.P. gas

conversion kit part no. 8284673. The parts

for this kit are in the literature package

supplied with cooktop.

Provide 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.P. gas,

must be used. With L.P. gas, piping or

tubing size can be 1/2" minimum. L.P. gas

suppliers usually determine the size and

materials used on the system.

If local codes permit, use a flexible

stainless steel tubing gas connector,

design-certified by AGA or CSA

International, to connect the cooktop to

the rigid gas supply line. 5/8" diameter line

is recommended. Do Not kink or damage

the flexible connector when moving the

cooktop. The pressure regulator has 1/2"

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.

shutoff valve

"open" position

to cooktop

The 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.

If rigid pipe

is used as a gas

supply line, a combination of pipe

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.

The 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 5 inches (12.7 cm) W.C.

Supply pressure 7-14 inches (17.8 cm

to 35.5 cm) W.C. maximum.

L.P. GAS:

Minimum pressure 10 inches (25.4 cm)

W.C.

Supply pressure 14 inches (35.5 cm)

W.C.

Line pressure testing:

Testing above 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) or

14 inches (35.5 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 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) or

14 inches (35.5 cm) W.C. (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 electrical shock.

If 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.

Electronic ignition systems operate within

wide voltage limits, but proper ground and

polarity are necessary. In addition to

checking that the outlet provides 120-volt

power and is correctly grounded, the

outlet must be checked by a qualified

electrician to see if it is wired with correct

polarity. A wiring diagram is provided on

the last page of these instructions.

Important: This cooktop is equipped with

an electronic ignition system that will not

operate if plugged into an outlet that is

not properly polarized.

This appliance, when installed, must be

electrically grounded in accordance with

local codes or, in the absence of local

codes, with the current CSA standard

C22.1. Canadian Electrical Code Part 1*.

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

responsibility and obligation of the

customer to have a properly polarized

and grounded, 3-prong outlet installed by

a qualified electrician.
