Gas supply requirements WARNING Explosion Hazard Use a new AGA or CSA 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" 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: Cooktop must be connected to a regulated gas supply. A.This installation must conform with local codes and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, installations must conform with American National Standard, National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition** or CANI - B149.1 or 2**. B.Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating plate are for elevations up to 2,000 feet (610 m). For elevations above 2,000 feet (610 m), ratings are reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 feet (305 m) above sea level. C.The cooktop is equipped for use with NATURAL gas. It is design-certified by CSA International for NATURAL and L.P. gases with appropriate conversion. The model/serial rating plate, located on the underside of the burner box, has information on the type of gas that can be used. If this information does not agree with the type of gas available, check with the local gas supplier. See Page 2 for L.P. gas conversion instructions. 4 D.Provide a gas supply line of 3/4" rigid pipe to the cooktop location. A smaller size pipe on long runs may result in insufficient gas supply. Pipe-joint compounds, suitable for use with L.P. gas, must be used. With L.P. gas, piping or tubing size can be 1/2" minimum. L.P. gas suppliers usually determine the size and materials used on the system. E.If local codes permit, a new AGA or CSA design-certified, 4-5 foot (1.2-1.5 m) long, 1/2" or 3/4" I.D., flexible metal appliance connector is recommended for connecting this cooktop to the gas supply line. Do Not kink or damage the flexible connector when moving the cooktop. The pressure regulator has 3/8" female pipe threads. You will need to determine the fittings required, depending on the size of your gas supply line, flexible metal connector and shutoff valve. shutoff valve "open" position to cooktop gas supply F. line The supply line shall be equipped with an approved shutoff valve. This valve should be located in the same room as the cooktop and should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do Not block access to the shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance. G.If rigid pipe is used as a gas supply line, a combination of pipe fittings must be used to obtain an in-line connection to the cooktop. All strains must be removed from the supply and fuel lines so cooktop will be level and in line. H.The regulator must be checked at a minimum 1-inch (2.5 cm) water column above the set pressure. The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows for operation and checking the regulator setting: NATURAL GAS: Set pressure 4 inches (10.2 cm). Supply pressure 7-14 inches (17.8 cm to 35.5 cm) maximum. L.P. GAS: Minimum pressure 10 inches (25.4 cm). Supply pressure 14 inches (35.5 cm). I.Line pressure testing: Testing above 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) (14 inches (35.6 cm)) W.C. (gauge) The cooktop and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures greater than 1/2 psig (3.5kPa). Testing below 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) (14 inches (35.6 cm)) W.C. (gauge) or lower The cooktop must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). Electrical requirements WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock. If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate. Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure whether the cooktop is properly grounded. Do Not ground to a gas pipe. A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15-ampere, fused electrical supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
