Gas Supply
These cooktops are designed to operate on
natural gas at 4 in. of water column pressure, or
on LP gas at 10 in. of water column pressure.
Cooktops are shipped from the factory set for
natural gas. To use the cooktop with LP gas,
conversion adjustments must be made. (Order
JXLP56 Conversion Kit.)
The pressure regulator must be connected in
series with the cooktop manifold and
must
remain
in series with the supply line, regardless of the
type of gas being used.
For proper operation, maximum inlet pressure to
the regulator must be no more than 10 in. water
column pressure for natural gas and 14 in. water
column pressure for LP gas.
When checking the regulator, the inlet pressure
must be at least 1 in. greater than the regulator’s
output setting. If the regulator is set for 4 in. of
water column pressure, the inlet pressure must be
at least 5 in. If the regulator is set for 10 in. of
water column pressure, inlet pressure must be at
least 11 in.
Note:
Purchase new flexible line. Do
not
use old,
previously used flexible line.
For ease of installation, and if local codes permit,
the gas supply line into the cooktop should be
1/2-in. or 3/4-in. ID flexible metal appliance
connector, 3 to 5 feet long.
Make the gas connection through the rear wall, or
on the cabinet floor at the rear, as illustrated.
Power Supply Locations
Electrical Supply
WARNING:
For personel safety, appliance must
be properly grounded.
These cooktops feature pilotless electric ignition
for energy savings and reliability. They operate on
a 120-volt, 60-Hz power supply. A separate circuit,
protected by a 15-amp time delay fuse or circuit
breaker, is required. A properly grounded
three-prong receptacle must be located within
reach of the cooktop’s 4-ft power cord.
The appliance power cord is equipped with a
three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a
standard three-prong grounding wall receptacle to
minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard.
The customer should have the wall receptacle and
circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make
sure the receptacle is properly grounded and has
correct polarity.
Note:
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle
is encountered, it is the customer’s responsibility
and obligation to have it replaced with a properly
grounded three-prong wall receptacle.
Do
not
, under any circumstances, cut or remove
the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
Do
not
use an extension cord.
