Calculating Vent System Length
To calculate the length of the system you need, add the equivalent
feet (meters) for each vent piece used in the system.
Example vent system
NOTE: Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates
back pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduce performance.
Electrical Requirements
IMPORTANT: The cooktop must be electrically grounded in
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
recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that
the ground path is adequate.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:

■
A 120 volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15-amp, fused electrical circuit 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-volt power and is correctly grounded.
■
The wiring diagrams are provided with this cooktop. See
“Wiring Diagrams” on a separate sheet. The wiring diagrams
are located on the left underside of the cooktop base.
