Electrical requirements

 warning

To prevent an electric shock hazard, the power supply must meet 

the specifications stated below. It is the owner’s responsibility 

to make sure that the electrical service meets electrical require-

ments and that the electrical outlet has been properly installed by 

a licensed electrician.

◊ 

The cooktop is supplied with a factory installed, 42 inch power cord 

with a, three-prong, grounding electrical plug. It is connected to 

the chassis at the bottom right rear corner (see 

Chassis Bottom 

Diagram

 below).  It must be connected to a dedicated, grounded 

three-prong electrical outlet installed by a licensed electrician.

◊ 

The electrical installation, including minimum supply wire size and 

grounding, must be done in accordance with National Electric Code 

ANSI/NFPA 70* and local codes and ordinances. A copy of this  

standard may be obtained from:
National Fire Protection Association  

1 Batterymarch Park 

Quincy, Massachusetts 02269-9101

◊ 

The correct voltage, frequency and amperage must be supplied to 

the electrical outlet according to the product data label located on the 

bottom of the chassis. See the Gas and Electrical Requirements table 

on this page for reference.

◊ 

Be certain to locate the electrical outlet so that the power may be 

easily disconnected if the unit needs service.

gas Supply requirements

◊ 

Be certain that the cooktop being installed is correct for the gas 

service being provided (natural gas or LP gas). Also, if operating 

the cooktop at an altitude above 4000 ft. (1219 m) make sure it is 

equipped for high altitude operation.

◊ 

Units equipped for LP operation have “LP” in the model number listed 

on the product data label. See the Chassis Bottom Diagram for label 

location.

◊ 

Units equipped for high altitude operation have an “H” at the end of 

the model number listed on the product data label.

◊ 

Check your local building codes for the proper method of installation. 

In the absence of local codes, this appliance should be installed in 

accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.

◊ 

An external manual shut-off valve must be installed between the gas 

inlet and the cooktop for the purpose of turning on or shutting off gas 

to the appliance.

◊ 

The cooktop comes from the factory with a regulator in the shipping 

carton. Use only the regulator provided. The regulator must be 

installed in the gas line that runs from the cooktop gas inlet to the gas 

shut off valve.

◊ 

The regulator inlet accommodates a 3/4” gas line. The inlet to the 

cooktop itself is equipped with a 3/4” male NPT fitting.

The cooktop gas connection is located on the bottom of the cootktop in the 

back right corner as you face the front of the unit. See the 

Chassis Bottom 

Diagram

 on this page.
