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. The
minimum of 120 VAC is required for proper operation of gas
ignition systems. This circuit MUST be grounded and properly
polarized. The unit is equipped with a 16-SPT2 power cord.
Gas Connection
The gas supply (service) line must be the same size or greater than
the inlet line of the appliance. This rangetop uses a 1/2" (1.3 cm) ID
NPT (Sch40) inlet. Sealant on all pipe joints must be resistive to LP
gas.
The rangetop is designed specifi cally for natural gas or liquid
propane (LP) gas. Before beginning installation, verify that the model
is compatible with the intended
gas supply.
Manual shut-off valve:
This installer-supplied valve must be installed in the gas service line before the appliance in the gas stream and in a location where
it can be reached quickly in the event of an emergency. Any opening behind the rangetop should be sealed.
In Massachusetts: A "T" handle type manual valve must be installed in the gas supply line to the appliance.
IMPORTANT: Any conversion required must be performed by your dealer or a qualifi ed licensed plumber or gas service company.
Please provide the service person with this manual before work begins.
Pressure Regulator:
• All heavy-duty, commercial type cooking equipment must have a pressure regulator on the incoming service line for safe and
effi cient operation, since service pressure may fl uctuate with local demand. External regulators are not required on this rangetop
since a regulator is built into each unit at the factory. Under no condition bypass this built-in regulator.
• Manifold pressure should be checked with a manometer, natural
gas requires 5.0" W.C.P. and LP gas requires 10.0" W.C.P. Incoming line
pressure upstream from the regulator must be 1" W.C.P. higher than
the manifold pressure in order to check the regulator. The regulator
used on this range can withstand a maximum input pressure of 1/2"
PSI (14.0" W.C.P.). If the line pressure is in excess of that amount, a step
down regulator will be required.
• The appliance must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of that system.
Flexible Connections:
If the unit is to be installed with fl exible couplings and/or quick-
disconnect fi ttings, the installer must use a heavy-duty AGA
design-certifi ed fl exible connector of at least 1/2" (1.3 cm) ID
NPT (with suitable strain reliefs) in compliance with ANSI Z21.41
and Z21.69. In Canada: CAN 1-6, 10-88 metal connectors for gas
appliances and CAN 1-6.9 M79 quick disconnect devices for use
with gas fuel.
In Massachusetts: This appliance must be installed with a 36" (3-
foot) long fl exible gas connector.
Electrical shock hazard
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, personal
injury or death; verify electrical power is
turned off at the breaker box and gas supply is
turned off until the rangetop is installed and ready to
operate, installation by an authorized installer only.
To avoid risk of personal injury or death;
leak testing of the appliance must be
conducted according to the manufacturer's
instructions. Before placing appliance in
operation, always check for gas leaks with
soapy water solution.
• DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
