Connecting the appliance to the gas supply

[The gas cook top may only be operated if the supplied gas pressure reg- ulator and a shut-off valve (not supplied) are connected correctly.

ΦThe gas supply pressure stated shall be at least an 11 inch water column for checking the regulator setting!

Make sure the gas and the gas supply pressure are correct. The correct gas supply pressure is 10 inch water column.

The pipe for the gas connection is located at the center of the underside of the appliance.

The connection parts must be positioned so they can’t heat up or become damaged while the appliance is in operation. They also can’t come into contact with the movable parts of the kitchen elements.

–Look at the adhesive label located on the underside of the appliance to see which type of gas the built-in cook top is set for.

–Connect the pipe for the gas connection with the enclosed adapter.

–Connect the gas pressure regulator via a rigid or a flexible conductor with the adapter.

Make sure the regulator is installed in the right direction.

–Check the gas pressure regulator for its setting and make sure the appli- ance isn’t leaking.

–Connect the gas pressure regulator with the shut-off valve and connect this with the gas supply.

Leak testing

[Before the appliance is put into operation, it must be checked by a gas technician to make sure it’s functioning properly and there is no gas leak-

age. Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted according to this installation instruction!

[Absolutely no leakage should occur, otherwise there is a danger of fire or explosion depending upon conditions. Never use the appli-

ance if leakage is detected.

[Do not use a flame to check for leakage!

[The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system

at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5kPa).

For pressure testing of that system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa), the appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individal manual shut-off valve.

[The maximum gas supply pressure in accordance with the inlet pressure rating of the gas appliance pressure regulator supplied (10 inch water

column) is 13 inch water column.

–Check carefully for gas leaks immediately after the regulator has been in- stalled and the gas turned on. Do this before attempting to operate the ap- pliance or any other gas-burning device. Use a rich soap solution (or other accepted leak tester) around the diaphragm flanges, bottom plate, vent opening, seal cap pipe connections, and all other joints. Wipe clean with a damp rag.

Connecting the appliance to the electrical supply

The appliance must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.

A grounded, shockproof socket is required for electrical connection. Electrical connection must be carried out in conformity with all local and national codes.

The plug for the appliance is rated for 120 V / 60 Hz. The power consump- tion is 0.7 VA.

The connection parts must be positioned so they can’t heat up or become damaged while the appliance is in operation.
