Electrical & Gas Requirements
Electrical Requirements
There is no connection necessary beyond
plugging the unit into a polarized, grounded,
120 volt, 60 Hz, 15 amp circuit. A minimum of
120 VAC is required for proper operation of gas
ignition systems. DO NOT use a GFI circuit.
This circuit, however, MUST be grounded and
properly polarized. The unit is equipped with
16-3 SPT2 power cord.
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 shipped natural gas,
and manufactured for use with natural gas or
LP/Propane gas. Check the rating plate located
on the bottom of the burner box for type of
gas needed.
• To convert to natural gas or LP/Propane gas,
contact a qualified service technician.
• The installer must use a flexible connector of at
least ½” I.D. (1.3 cm) NPT and comply with
ANSI Z21.41 and Z21.69 standards.
IMPORTANT: The gas supply (service) line
must be the same size or greater 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 supplied valve must be installed in the
gas service line ahead of the appliance and
regulator in the gas stream. It should be
positioned where it can be reached quickly in
the event of an emergency.
In Massachusetts: A “T” handle type manual
gas valve must be installed in gas supply line to
the appliance.
Pressure regulator:
• The regulator supplied with the DGVU
cooktops must be installed before any gas
connections are made. It is pre-set for use with
natural gas. This must be converted to use with
LP/Propane gas.
• Manifold pressure should be checked with a
manometer. Natural gas requires 5.0” WCP
and LP/Propane requires 10.0” WCP. Incoming
line pressure upstream for the regulator must
be 1” WCP higher than the manifold pressure
in order to check the regulator.
• The regulator used on this cooktop can
withstand a maximum input pressure of 1/2 PSI
(14.0” WCP). If the line pressure is in excess of
that amount, a step down regulator will be
required.
• The manual shut off valve and pressure
regulator on these cooktops must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of that
system at pressures in excess of 1/2 PSI
(3.45kPa.)
• The cooktop must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shut-off valve during 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 installing this cooktop.
Rigid Connections:
• Incoming gas is brought from an intake pipe at
the rear of the unit to the pressure regulator;
then to the manifold pipe for distribution. The
intake pipe and shut-off valve are not supplied.
The intake pipe and the shut-off valve should
be connected to the regulator to complete the
connection.
In Massachusetts: This appliance must be
installed with a 36” (3-foot) long flexible gas
connector.
• The alignment of the valves should be checked
after connecting the cootkop to the gas supply
to be sure the manifold pipe has not been
moved. A misalignment may cause the valve
knob stem to rub on the control panel,
resulting in a gas leak at the valve.
12

13
Rigid Connections (cont.)
• Installer-supplied intake pipes should be
checked visually for any foreign matter before
installing in a service line.
LP/Propane Conversion
The DGVU cooktops are shipped natural gas,
and manufactured for use with natural gas or
LP/Propane gas. Check the rating plate located
on the bottom of the burner box for type of
gas needed.
• To convert to natural gas or LP/Propane gas,
the orifice spuds and regulator must be
physically changed. Gas conversions must be
completed by a qualified service technician.
• The installer must use a flexible connector of at
least ½” I.D. (1.3 cm) NPT and comply with
ANSI Z21.41 and Z21.69 standards.
To convert from both natural to LP/Propane and
LP/Propane to natural a conversion kit is
supplied.
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 TO
CHECK FOR LEAKS.
CAUTION
Electrical & Gas Requirements
Initial Ignition of Burners
• All cooktops are tested before leaving the
factory. Field adjustments may be necessary for
proper mixture of gas and air for proper
operation. Contact a qualified technician to
make any necessary adjustments.
• The surface burners use electric igniters in
place of standing pilots.
Proper Lighting 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 desired position (HI, Med or Low).
3. To shutdown the burner, turn knob clockwise
