accordance with local codes and ordinances or, in the absence 

of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 

or Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
This cooktop is equipped with an electronic ignition system 

that will not operate if plugged into an outlet that is not properly 

polarized.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is

is required. A time‑delay fuse or circuit breaker is also 

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 V power and is correctly grounded.

 

The wiring diagrams are provided with this cooktop. The 

wiring diagrams are located inside the control console.

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:

 Cooktop must be connected to a regulated 

gas supply.

IMPORTANT: 

Leak testing of the cooktop must be conducted 

according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Type of Gas

Natural Gas:

This cooktop is factory set for use with Natural gas. The model/

serial/rating plate, located under the console on the right‑hand 

side, 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.

Propane 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 

Propane gas, use the Propane gas conversion kit provided with 

your cooktop and see the “Gas Conversions” section. The parts 

for this kit are in the package containing literature supplied with 

the cooktop.

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 propane, 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.
