Electrical Requirements

IMPORTANT: The cooktop must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes and ordinances, or in the absence of
local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or
Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
This cooktop is equipped with an electronic ignition system that
will not operate if plugged into an outlet that is not properly
polarized.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that
the ground path is adequate.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:
National Fire Protection Association

Cleveland, OH 44131-5575
� A 120 V, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 A, 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 cooktop be provided.
� Electronic ignition systems operate within wide voltage limits,
but proper grounding and polarity are necessary. Check that
the outlet provides 120 V power and is correctly grounded.
� The wiring diagrams are provided with this cooktop. See
"Wiring Diagrams" on a separate sheet. The wiring diagrams
are located on the underside of the cooktop base.
� This gas cooktop is not required to be plugged into a GFCI-
(Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet or AFCI- (Arc Fault
Circuit Interrupter) type circuit breaker. It is recommended that
you not plug an electric spark ignition gas cooktop or any other
major appliance into a GFCI wall outlet or an AFCI- type circuit
breaker as it may cause these types of circuit breakers to trip
during normal cycling.
� Performance of this cooktop will not be affected if operated on
a GFCI/AFCI-protected circuit. However, occasional nuisance
tripping of the GFCI breaker is possible due to the normal
operating nature of electronic gas cooktops.

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 propane, have a qualified person make
sure gas pressure does not exceed 14ʺ (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 the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54
or, in Canada, the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code,
CSA B149.1 - latest edition.
IMPORTANT: Leak testing of the cooktop must be conducted
according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Type of Gas
Natural Gas:
This cooktop is factory set for use with Natural gas. If converting
to Propane gas, see the following "Propane Gas Conversion"
section. The model/serial rating plate located on the underside of
the cooktop base 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.
Propane Gas Conversion:
Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician.
No attempt shall be made to convert the cooktop 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
literature.
