■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 range 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 diagram are provided with this cooktop. See “Wiring Diagrams” section.

Gas Supply Requirements

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 LP, 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.

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: Leak testing of the range must be conducted according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Type of Gas

Natural Gas:

This cooktop is listed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL/cUL) for use with Natural gas or, after proper conversion, for use with LP gas.

■This cooktop is factory-set for use with Natural gas. To convert to LP gas, see the Gas Conversion instructions provided in the literature package. The model/serial rating plate located on the underside of the burner box 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.

LP Gas conversion:

Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician.

No attempt shall be made to convert the appliance from the gas specified on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different gas without consulting the serving gas supplier. See the Gas Conversion instructions provided in the package containing the literature.

Gas Supply Line

■Provide a gas supply line of ¾" (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the cooktop location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may result in insufficient gas supply. Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of LP gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON®† tape. With LP gas, piping or tubing size can be ½" minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers determine the size and materials used in the system.
