GAS COOKTOP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Grounding Instructions
IMPORTANT
Please read carefully.
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly
grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-
prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-
prong grounding wall receptacle (see Figure 7) to
minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from the
appliance.
The wall receptacle and circuit should be checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is
properly grounded.
The supply line should 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.
Once the regulator is in place, open the shutoff valve in
the gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gas to move
through the gas line.
Check for leaks.
After connecting the cooktop to the
gas supply, check the system for leaks with a
manometer. If a manometer is not available, turn on the
gas supply and use a liquid leak detector (or soap and
water) at all joints and connections to check for leaks.
Do not use a flame to check for leaks
from gas connections. Checking for leaks with a flame
may result in a fire or explosion.
Tighten all connections
if necessary to prevent gas
leakage in the cooktop or supply line.
Check alignment of control knob valves
after
connecting the cooktop to the gas supply to be sure the
cooktop manifold pipe has not moved. A misalignment
could cause the valve stems to rub on the control panel,
resulting in a gas leak at the valve.
Disconnect this cooktop and its individual shutoff
valve
from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures greater
than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa or 14" (35.6 cm) water column).
Isolate the cooktop 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 or 14" (35.6 cm) water column).
Electrical Requirements
120 volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded branch circuit
protected by a 15 amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse.
Do not use an extension cord with this cooktop.

Preferred Method
Grounding type
wall receptacle
Do not, under
any circumstances,
cut, remove,
or bypass the
grounding prong.
Power supply
cord with 3-prong
grounding plug.
Where a standard 2-prong wall receptacle is installed, it
is the personal responsibility and obligation of the
consumer to have it replaced by a properly grounded 3-
prong wall receptacle.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the
third (ground) prong from the power cord.
Disconnect electrical supply cord from
wall receptacle before servicing cooktop.
Cooktop Installation
1. Visually inspect the cooktop for damage.
2. If you are installing the optional Stainless Steel
backsplash, first fix it at the back of the cooktop using
the screws supplied with the kit and follow the
instructions attached.
3. Set the cooktop into the countertop cutout.
NOTE:
Do not use caulking compound; cooktop should
be removable for service when needed.
