The location selected for the rangetop must meet the following
criteria. If any of these criteria are not met, select another location.
CABINET PREPARATION
»
This rangetop is a free standing unit.
»
The rangetop can be placed in various positions with respect
to the cabinet front, with the front either flush or projecting,
depending on the countertop width.
»
The rangetop is zero-clearance safe against non-combustible
surfaces.
»
The maximum depth of overhead cabinets installed on either
side of the hood is 13".
»
Any openings in the wall behind the rangetop and in the floor
under the rangetop must be sealed.
»
When there is less than 12" clearance between combustible
material and the back edge of the rangetop above the cooking
surface, a backguard must be installed.
»
When clearance to combustible material is over 12" no
backguard is necessary.
»
Back guards must be ordered separately. To order, measure the
space that the back guard must have and order accordingly.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
»
The rangetop must be electrically grounded in compliance with
local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA70.
»
This rangetop requires a 120 volt supply to operate the ignition
system. The supply cord provided on the rangetop is
equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for protection
against electrical shock.
»
The electrical service in the building must be equipped with a
properly grounded three-prong receptacle.
»
Do not cut or remove grounding prong from this plug.
POWER REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS RANGETOP
»
120 VAC, 60 Hz, single phase, 15 AMP Max
GAS CONNECTION
»
Be certain the appliance being installed is correct for the gas
service being provided. Refer to the appliance data plate for the
gas supply requirements.
»
A manual gas shut-off valve must be remotely installed and easily
accessible in the adjacent cabinet. The regulator inlet is for a
3/4 inch gas line. The appliance ships with a 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch
adapter connected to the regulator.
»
Use at least a 1/2" commercial flex hose to connect rangetop to
the gas supply (service line).
»
A manual gas shut-off valve must be installed, in easy access in
front of the gas supply (service line) and ahead of the rangetop
for safety and ease of maintenance.
»
All valves must be in the OFF position before connecting to the
gas supply line.
PRESSURE REGULATOR
»
The regulator installed in the rangetop is adjusted at the factory
for 5" WC (natural gas) or 10" WC (L.P.) depending on the
customer’s request. Regulators must not be removed.
»
The regulator can withstand a maximum pressure of 1/2 PSIG
(14" WC). If the line pressure is beyond this limit, a step-down
regulator will be required.
»
Any adjustment to regulators must be made ONLY BY
QUALIFIED service personnel with proper test equipment.
GAS REQUIREMENTS
»
Ensure supplied gas matches the rangetop’s gas type.
»
Natural gas connection is 1/2" N.P.T. minimum 1/2" diameter
flex line.
»
Natural gas inlet pressure to measure 7" to 10" W.C.
»
Propane gas connection is 1/2" N.P.T. minimum 1/2" diameter
flex line.
»
LP gas inlet pressure to measure 11" to 14" W.C.
»
A step-down regulator in additon to the regulator provided
with the LP rangetop is required at the LP (Propane) source to
limit pressure to a maximum of 14" W.C.
»
Check that all gas connections are properly sealed with a
suitable gas joint compound.
TEST ALL JOINTS WITH A SOAPY WATER SOLUTION
BEFORE LIGHTING THE BURNERS
»
Turn ON the manual gas valve at the inlet side of the gas supply
line.
»
Check for gas leaks at the flexible coupling or gas connector
fitting using a solution of one part soap and three parts water.
»
Sparingly spray or brush the soapy solution at the gas fittings;
active bubbling indicates location of gas leak.
»
If a gas leak is detected turn off the manual gas valve at the inlet
side of the gas line. Call your certified service technician.
FLEXIBLE COUPLINGS, CONNECTORS AND CASTERS
»
Flexible couplings and/or quick-disconnect fittings must be heavy
duty, CSA/UL design certified of at least 1/2" NPT with suitable
strain reliefs.
»
The flexible connector must comply with the standard for
Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69-CSA
6.16 and any Quick-Disconnect Devices For Use With Gas Fuel
Appliances should comply with ANSI Z21.41CSA 6.9.
»
All connections must be sealed with joint compound specified
for LP or Natural gas; and all connections must be tested with a
soapy water solution before using.
»
When disconnection of the restraint is necessary, make sure to
reconnect the restraint after the rangetop has been returned to
its original position.
