FOLLOWED EXAC LY, A FIRE OR
EXPLOSION MAY RESUL CAUSING
PROPER Y DAMAGE, PERSONAL
INJURY, OR DEA H.
•DO NOT store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
–DO NOT try to light any appliance.
–DO NOT touch any electrical switch.
–DO NOT use any phone in your
building.
–Immediately call your gas supplier
from a neighbor’s phone.
–Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
–If you cannot reach your gas supplier,
call the fire department.
• Installation and service must be
performed by a qualified installer,
service agency, or the gas supplier.
DANGER
CHEMICAL HAZARD
If not installed, operated and
maintained in accordance
with the manufacturer’s
instructions, this product could expose
you to substances in fuel or from fuel
combustion which can cause death or
serious illness and which are known to
cause cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm.
For example, benzene is a chemical
which is part of the gas supplied to the
cooking product. It is consumed in the
flame during combustion. However
exposure to a small amount of benzene
is possible if a gas leak occurs.
Formaldehyde and soot are byproducts
of incomplete combustion. Properly
adjusted burners with a bluish rather
than yellow flame will minimize
incomplete combustion.
WARNING
BURN HAZARD
he use of cabinets for storage above the
appliance may result in a potential burn
hazard. Combustible items may ignite,
metallic items may become hot and
cause burns. If a cabinet storage is to be
provided the risk can be reduced by
installing a range hood that projects
horizontally a minimum of 5” (12.7 cm)
beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
CAUTION
Before placing the cooktop into operation,
always check for gas leaks with a soapy
water solution or other acceptable method.
DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME O
CHECK FOR LEAKS.
CAUTION
his appliance shall not be used for
space heating. his information is based
on safety considerations.

be made by a licensed electrician. his
appliance is equipped with a three-prong
grounding plug for your protection against
shock hazard and should be plugged
directly into a properly grounded
receptacle. DO NOT cut or remove the
grounding prong from the plug.
For person l s fety, this ppli nce
must be properly grounded. DO NOT
under ny circumst nces cut or
remove the third (ground) prong from
the power plug.

Electrical & Gas Requirements
Electrical Requirements
There is no connection necessary beyon
plugging the unit into a polarize , groun e ,
120 volt, 60 Hz, 15 amp circuit. A minimum of
120 VAC is require for proper operation of gas
ignition systems. DO NOT use a GFI circuit.
This circuit, however, MUST be groun e an
properly polarize . The unit is equippe with
16-3 SPT2 power cor .
Note: If electrical power is not supplied or is
interrupted, the open top burners will have to be
lit manually with a match.
Gas Connection
• The DGVU cooktops are shippe natural gas,
an manufacture for use with natural gas or
LP/Propane gas. Check the rating plate locate
on the bottom of the burner box for type of
gas nee e .
• To convert to natural gas or LP/Propane gas,
contact a qualifie service technician.
• The installer must use a flexible connector of at
least ½” I.D. (1.3 cm) NPT an comply with
ANSI Z21.41 an Z21.69 stan ar s.
IMPORTANT: The as supply (service) line
must be the same size or reater than the
inlet line of the cooktop. All cooktops use
a 1 /2” (1.3 cm) NPT (Sch40) inlet.
• Sealant on all pipe joints must be resistive to
LP/Propane gas.
Manual shut-off valve:
• The supplie valve must be installe in the
gas service line ahea of the appliance an
regulator in the gas stream. It shoul be
positione where it can be reache quickly in
the event of an emergency.
In Massachusetts: A “T” han le type manual
gas valve must be installe in gas supply line to
the appliance.
Pressure re ulator:
• The regulator supplie with the DGVU
cooktops must be installe before any gas
connections are ma e. It is pre-set for use with
natural gas. This must be converte to use with
LP/Propane gas.
• Manifol pressure shoul be checke with a
manometer. Natural gas requires 5.0” WCP
an LP/Propane requires 10.0” WCP. Incoming
line pressure upstream for the regulator must
be 1” WCP higher than the manifol pressure
in or er to check the regulator.
• The regulator use on this cooktop can
withstan a maximum input pressure of 1/2 PSI
(14.0” WCP). If the line pressure is in excess of
that amount, a step own regulator will be
require .
• The manual shut off valve an pressure
regulator on these cooktops must be
isconnecte from the gas supply piping
system uring any pressure testing of that
system at pressures in excess of 1/2 PSI
(3.45kPa.)
• The cooktop must be isolate from the gas
supply piping system by closing its in ivi ual
manual shut-off valve uring any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSI
(3.45kPa).
IMPORTANT: NEVER refuse old connectors
when installin this cooktop.
Ri id Connections:
• Incoming gas is brought from an intake pipe at
the rear of the unit to the pressure regulator;
then to the manifol pipe for istribution. The
intake pipe an shut-off valve are not supplie .
The intake pipe an the shut-off valve shoul
be connecte to the regulator to complete the
connection.
In Massachusetts: This appliance must be
installe with a 36” (3-foot) long flexible gas
connector.
• The alignment of the valves shoul be checke
after connecting the cootkop to the gas supply
to be sure the manifol pipe has not been
move . A misalignment may cause the valve
knob stem to rub on the control panel,
resulting in a gas leak at the valve.
12

13
Ri id Connections (cont.)
• Installer-supplie intake pipes shoul be
checke visually for any foreign matter before
installing in a service line.
LP/Propane Conversion
The DGVU cooktops are shippe natural gas,
an manufacture for use with natural gas or
LP/Propane gas. Check the rating plate locate
on the bottom of the burner box for type of
gas nee e .
• To convert to natural gas or LP/Propane gas,
the orifice spu s an regulator must be
physically change . Gas conversions must be
complete by a qualifie service technician.
• The installer must use a flexible connector of at
least ½” I.D. (1.3 cm) NPT an comply with
ANSI Z21.41 an Z21.69 stan ar s.
To convert from both natural to LP/Propane an
LP/Propane to natural a conversion kit is
supplie .
Before placing the cooktop into operation,
always check for gas leaks with a soapy
water solution or other acceptable method.
DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME O
CHECK FOR LEAKS.
CAUTION
Electrical & Gas Requirements
Initial I nition of Burners
• All cooktops are teste before leaving the
factory. Fiel a justments may be necessary for
proper mixture of gas an air for proper
operation. Contact a qualifie technician to
make any necessary a justments.
• The surface burners use electric igniters in
place of stan ing pilots.
Proper Li htin and Shutdown Instructions
To ignite electric igniters on the surface burners:
1. Turn the knob counterclockwise to any
position.
2. Upon ignition of the surface burner, turn the
knob to the esire position (HI, Me or Low).
3. To shut own the burner, turn knob clockwise
to the OFF position.
In case of failure, shut the gas OFF using the
installer supplie manual shut-off valve.
Conversion must be performed by a
qualified installer, service agency, or the
gas supplier in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions. Failure to
follow instructions could result in serious
injury or property damage.
WARNING
Electrical power and gas must be turned
off prior to conversion.
