Installation requirements
Gas supply requirements
Provide adequate gas supply
Be sure to supply your cooktop with the gas for which it is designed. Do not try to convert
the cooktop to receive a different type of gas without consulting the gas supplier.
This cooktop converts to natural or propane gas. For LP gas, conversion must be made b y a
qualified installer before operating the cooktop. For proper natural-gas operation, the
pressure supplied to the regulator must be 5 – 13 in. (13 – 33 cm) of water column. For LP
gas, the pressure must be 10 – 13 in. (25 – 33 cm) of water column.
When checking proper regulator operation, the inlet pressure must be at least 1 in. (2.5
cm) greater than the operating (manifold) pressure as given. The pressure regulator (at
the inlet of the cooktop manifold) must remain in the supply line whether or not natural
or LP gas is used.
NOTE
•The cooktop has its own regulator. Use only the provided regulator, which must be
installed in the gas line that runs from the cooktop gas inlet to the gas shut-off valve.
•An external manual shut-off valve must be installed between the gas inlet and the
cooktop for turning on/off gas to the appliance.
•Be sure the connectors are installed when you need coupling by a qualified installer.
•On a new cooktop, never install used connectors, which can leak gas and cause
personal injury.
Special gas requirements (gas models sold in Massachusetts)
COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS REQUIREMENTS:
WARNING
•Gas may leak in your system, creating a dangerous situation.
-Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone.
-Gas suppliers recommend installing a UL-approved gas detector.
•The cooktop must be installed by a plumber or gas fitter certified by the State of
Massachusetts.
• A T-handle manual gas valve MUST be installed in the gas supply line to your cooktop.
•If a flexible gas connector is used to install your cooktop, multiple flexible gas lines
must not be connected in series.
English 17

Electrical requirements
WARNING
•The owner shall ensure the electrical service meets electrical requirements and that
the electrical outlet is properly installed by a licensed electrician.
•To reduce risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury:
-Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug with this cooktop.
-The power cord has an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
-Ensure a properly grounded outlet is installed by a qualified electrician.
-All wiring and grounding must comply with local codes, or, in their absence, with
the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70 – Latest Revision (US), or the
Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 – Latest Revisions and local codes.
-The wiring diagram is inside the burner box.
-The cooktop ignition system only operates if the outlet is properly polarized.
-The cooktop requires a 120 V, 60-Hz, AC, approved electrical service with 20-amp
circuit breaker or time-delay fuse.
NOTE
Re-ignition may malfunction if the voltage between Neutral and Ground is over 20 VAC.
Make sure the voltage is under 20 VAC.
•The plug must be firmly inserted in a properly installed, three-prong outlet per local
codes. After a malfunction or breakdown, grounding decreases the risk of electrical
shock by providing the current a safe path.
•Do not use a damaged power plug or loose wall outlet.
•Do not remove the plug's grounding (third) prong. If the plug and outlet do not match
or you have any doubt, have a qualified electrician check the outletand circuit to
ensure the receptacle is properly grounded, and install the proper outlet if needed.
•NEVER connect ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or water pipes.
Additional installation requirements for mobile homes
Installation of appliances designed for mobile-home use must comply with the
Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly
