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.
■
This gas cooktop is not required to be plugged into a GFCI
(Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet or AFCI (Arc Fault
Circuit Interrupter) type circuit breaker. It is recommended
that you not plug an electric spark ignition gas cooktop or
any other major appliance into a GFCI wall outlet or a AFCI
breaker as it may cause these types of circuit breaker to trip
during normal cycling.
■
Performance of this cooktop will not be affected if operated
on a GFCI/AFCI-protected circuit. However, occasional
nuisance tripping of the GFCI/AFCI breaker is possible due
to the normal operating nature of electronic gas cooktops.

The wiring diagram is provided with this cooktop. It is
located inside the cooktop burner box.
