ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The gas cooktop requires a 120 VAC, 60Hz electrica lsupply to operate the
electronic ignition system. The service should have its own 15 amp circuit
breaker. A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)is not recommended and
may cause interruption of operation.
The cooktop is equipped with a powercord witha 3 prong grounding plug.
To minimize shock hazard, the power cord must be plugged into a mating
3 prong grounded outlet, grounded to conform with the National Elec-
trical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 latest edition ,or Canadian Electrical Code
(CSA) and all local codes and ordinances. Refer to the illustration below.
IMPORTANTNOTE:Do not ground to a gas pipe.
GAS CONNECTION
All gas connections must be made according to national and local codes.
This gas supply (service) line must be the same size or grater than the
inlet line of the appliance. This range uses a ½”NPT inlet. Sealant on all
pipe joints must be resistive to LP gas.
1. Manual Shut-off Valve: This installer-supplied valve must be installed in the gas service
line ahead of the appliance in the gas stream and in a position where it can be reached
quickly in the event of an emergency. The manual shut-off valve shall be installed
properly in order to be accessible when appliance is installed in defi nitive position. In
Massachusetts: A ‘T’ handle type manual gas valve must be installed in the gas supply
line to this appliance. Refer to the illustration.
2. Pressure Regulator
1. All heavy duty, commercial type cooking equipment must have a pressure regulator on the incoming service line
for safe and effi cient operation, since service pressure may fl uctuate with local demand. The pressure regulator is
supplied separately with the appliance; regulator has two female threads ½” NPT; it shall be installed properly in
order to be accessible when appliance is installed in defi nitive position.
2. This range can be used with Natural or LP/Propane gas. It is shipped from the factory adjusted for use with natural
gas. The orifi ce hoods must be screwed snug when LP/Propane gas is used(see LP/Propane conversion).
3. The appliance, its individual shut-off valve, and pressure regulator must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing of that system at pressure is in excess of 1/2psig(3.45kPa).
4. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve
during any pressure testing of gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2psig(3.45kPa).
3. Flexible Connections:
1. If the unit is to be installed with fl exible couplings and/or quick disconnect fi ttings, the installer must use an heavy
duty, AGA design-certifi ed commercial fl exible connector of at least ½”(1.3cm)ID NPT(with suitable strain relieves)
in compliance with ANSI Z21.41 and Z21.69 standards.
2. In Massachusetts: The unit must be installed with a 36” (3-foot) long fl exible gas connector.
3. In Canada: CAN 1-6.10-88 metal connectors for gas appliances and CAN 1-6.9M79 quick disconnect device for
use with gas fuel.
CAUTION: Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Before placing the
gas cooktop into operation, always check for leaks with a soapy water solution of other acceptable method. DO NOT USE AN
OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS!
