recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this cooktop be provided.
■
Electronic ignition systems operate within wide voltage limits,
but proper grounding and polarity are necessary. Check that
the outlet provides 120-volt power and is correctly grounded.
■
The wiring diagrams are provided with this cooktop. The
wiring diagrams are located inside the control console and in
the “Wiring Diagrams” section.
Gas Supply Requirements
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
IMPORTANT: This installation must conform with all local codes
and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, installation must
conform with American National Standard, National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition or CAN/CGA B149 - latest
edition.
IMPORTANT: Leak testing of the cooktop must be conducted
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Type of Gas
Natural Gas:
This cooktop is design-certified by CSA International for use with
Natural gas or, after proper conversion, for use with LP gas.
■
This cooktop is factory-set for use with Natural gas. To
convert to LP gas, see the Gas Conversion instructions
provided in the package containing literature. The model/
serial rating plate located on the left underside of the cooktop
burner base has information on the types of gas that can be
used. If the types of gas listed do not include the type of gas
available, check with the local gas supplier.
LP Gas conversion:
Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician.
No attempt shall be made to convert the cooktop from the gas
specified on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different
gas without consulting the serving gas supplier. To convert to LP
gas, use the LP gas converision kit provided with the cooktop
and see the “Gas Conversions” section.
Gas Supply Line
■
Provide a gas supply line of ¾" (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the
cooktop location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may
result in insufficient gas supply. With LP gas, piping or tubing
size can be ½" (1.3 cm) minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers
determine the size and materials used in the system.
NOTE: Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of LP gas
must be used. Do not use TEFLON
®†
tape.
Flexible metal appliance connector:
■
If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certified,
4 - 5 ft (122 - 152.4 cm) long,
⁵⁄₈
" (1.6 cm) or
¾" (1.9 cm) I.D., flexible metal appliance connector may
be used for connecting the cooktop to the gas supply
line.
■
A ½" (1.3 cm) male pipe thread is needed for connection
to the female pipe threads of the inlet to the appliance
pressure regulator.
■
Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when
moving the cooktop.
Rigid pipe connection:
The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe
fittings to obtain an in-line connection to the cooktop. The
rigid pipe must be level with the cooktop connection. All
strains must be removed from the supply and fuel lines so
cooktop will be level and in line.
■
Must include a shutoff valve:
The supply line must be equipped with a manual shutoff
valve. This valve should be located in the same room but
external to the cooktop enclosure or cabinet. It should be in a
location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not
block access to shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or
shutting off gas to the cooktop.
Gas Pressure Regulator
The gas pressure regulator supplied with this cooktop must be
used. The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows for
proper operation:
Natural Gas:
Minimum pressure: 6" (15.2 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" (35.5 cm) WCP
LP Gas:
Minimum pressure: 11" (27.9 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" (35.5 cm) WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet
pressure.

WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure
gas pressure does not exceed 14" (36 cm) water
column.
Examples of a qualified person include:
licensed heating personnel,
authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
