Installation Preparation
G a s Updraf t Cooktop
Electrical supply:
This cooktop features pilotless electric
ignition for energy savings and reliability. It
operates 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 3-prong receptacle
should be located within reach of cooktop’s
four foot power cord.
IMPORTANT: (Please read carefully).
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE
MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
The power cord of this appliance 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 from this appliance. 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.
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it is the personal responsibility
and obligation of the customer 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.
Gas supply:
These cooktops are designed to operate on
natural gas at 4" of water column pressure or
on LP gas at 10" of water column pressure.
– These cooktops are shipped from the
factory set for natural gas. If you decide
to use this cooktop with LP gas, conversion
adjustments must be made by a service
technician or other qualified person.
JXLP56 conversion kit is required for
LP operation.
• The pressure regulator must be connected in
series with the manifold of the cooktop and
must remain in series with the supply line
regardless of type of gas being used.
For proper operation, the maximum inlet
pressure to the regulator must be no more
than 10" water column pressure for natural
gas and 14" water column pressure for LP gas.
• When checking the regulator, the inlet
pressure must be at least 1" greater than the
regulator output setting.
– If the regulator is set for 4" of water column
pressure, the inlet pressure must be at
least 5".
– If the regulator is set for 10" of water
column pressure, the inlet pressure must
be at least 11".
For ease of installation, and if local codes
permit, the gas supply line into the cooktop
should be 1/2" or 3/4" ID flexible metal
appliance connector, three to five feet long.
Note:
Purchase new flexible line. DO NOT
USE OLD, PREVIOUSLY USED FLEXIBLE
LINE.
• Make gas connection through rear wall, or
on cabinet floor at rear, as illustrated.
