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.
This cooktop is equipped with an electronic ignition system that
will not operate properly if plugged into a ground fault interrupt
circuit.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualied electrical installer determine
thatthe ground path is adequate.

■ A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15 amp 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 range be provided.
■ Electronic ignition systems operate within wide voltage limits,
but proper grounding and polarity are necessary. Check that
the outlet provides 120 volt power and is correctly grounded
and polarized.
■ 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 a AFCI
breaker as it may cause these types of circuit breaker 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/AFCI breaker is possible due
to the normal operating nature of electronic gas cooktops.
■ The wiring diagram is provided with this cooktop. It is
located in the cooktop burner box.
Gas Supply Requirements
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 American National Standard, National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223.1—latest edition or CAN/CGA B149—latest
edition.
IMPORTANT: Leak testing of the range must be conducted
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Type of Gas
Natural Gas:
This cooktop is factory-set for use with Natural gas. To convert
to Propane gas, see the Gas Conversion instructions provided
in the package containing the literature. The model/serial/rating
plate located on the underside of the burner box 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 qualied service technician.
No attempt shall be made to convert the appliance from the gas
specied 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 the
literature.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
WARNING
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 14" (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.
