Electrical Requirements
WARNING
To prevent an electric shock hazard, the power supply
must meet the specifications stated below. It is the own-
er’s responsibility to make sure that the electrical service
meets electrical requirements and that the electrical outlet
has been properly installed by a licensed electrician.
• The cooktop is supplied with a factory installed,
40-inch, three-prong, grounding electrical cord. It is
connected to the chassis at the bottom right rear corner
(see
Chassis Bottom Diagrams
below). It must be
connected to a dedicated, grounded three-prong elec-
trical outlet installed by a licensed electrician.
• The electrical installation, including minimum supply
wire size and grounding, must be done in accordance
with National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70* and local
codes and ordinances. A copy of this standard may be
obtained from:
National Fire Protection Association
1 Batterymarch Park
Quincy, MA 02269-9101
• The correct voltage, frequency, and amperage must be
supplied to the electrical outlet according to the product
data label located on the bottom of the chassis. See
the
Gas and Electrical Requirements
table on this
page for reference.
• Be certain to position the electrical outlet so that the
power cord may be easily disconnected if the unit
needs service.
Gas Supply Requirements
• Be certain that the cooktop being installed is correct
for the gas service being provided (Natural Gas or LP
gas). Also, if using the cooktop at an altitude above
4000 ft. (1219 m) make sure it is equipped for high alti-
tude (“H”) operation.
• Units equipped for high altitude operation have an “H”
at the end of the model number listed on the
product
data label.
• Units equipped for LP operation have “LP” in the
model number listed on the product data label. See the
Product Data Label
section for label location.
• Check your local building codes for the proper method
of installation. In the absence of local codes, this
appliance should be installed in accordance with the
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
• An external manual shut-off valve must be installed
between the gas supply line and the cooktop for the
purpose of turning on or shutting off gas to the appli-
ance.
• The cooktop is shipped from the factory with a regula-
tor in the carton. Use only the regulator provided. The
regulator must be installed between the
gas inlet
on the
cooktop and the
gas shut-off valve.
• The regulator inlet accommodates a 3/4” gas line. The
cooktop inlet itself is equipped with a 3/4” male NPT fit-
ting.
