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.
Vent Piece | 6" (15.2 cm) Round |
45° elbow | 2.5 ft |
| (0.8 m) |
90° elbow | 5.0 ft |
| (1.5 m) |
6" (15.2 cm) | 0.0 ft |
wall cap | (0.0 m) |
Example vent system
wall cap
90˚ elbow
6 ft (1.8 m)
2ft
(0.6 m)
1- 90° elbow | = 5 ft (1.5 m) |
8 ft (2.4 m) straight | = 8 ft (2.4 m) |
1 - wall cap | = 0 ft (0 m) |
|
|
System length | = 13 ft (3.9 m) |
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:
National Fire Protection Association
One Batterymarch Park
Quincy, MA 02269
CSA International
8501 East Pleasant Valley Road
Cleveland, Ohio
■A 120 volt, 60 Hz, AC only,
■Electronic ignition systems operate within wide voltage limits, but proper grounding and polarity are necessary. Check that the outlet provides
■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.
