Step 4 Installing The Cooktop; Step 3 Gas And Electrical Supply Requirements - Dacor SGM304 Installation Instructions Manual

STEP 3
Gas and Electrical Supply Requirements
The correct voltage, frequency and amperage must be supplied to the appliance from an isolated, grounded circuit which is protected by a
properly sized circuit breaker or time-delay fuse.
The cooktop must be connected to the power supply with copper wire only. The use of aluminum wire may result in unsatisfactory connections.
Flexible armored or non-metallic, sheathed copper cable (with a grounding wire) should be used to supply electrical power to the junction
box or receptacle.
For the SGM304, SGM364, SGM365, SGM466 and SGM464GG the factory-equipped, three-prong grounding plug must be inserted into a
mating grounding-type receptacle in accordance with National Electric Code and applicable state, municipal and local codes.
Be certain to locate the junction box or electrical outlet so the electrical supply may be easily disconnected in the event that service becomes
necessary. Also, provide extra slack in the cable to allow the cooktop to be removed for servicing.
IMPORTANT:
1. If the electrical supply circuit does not have a grounding-type receptacle, it is the responsibility
of the customer to have the existing receptacle changed by an electrician to a properly grounded
receptacle.
2. The power supply must be properly polarized. Reverse polarity will result in continuous sparking
of the electrodes, even after flame ignition. If the power supply is not properly polarized, it is the
responsibility of the customer to have the polarity corrected.
3. If there is any doubt as to whether the wall receptacle is properly grounded or polarized, have it
checked by a qualified electrician prior to installing the cooktop.
4. Do not plug the cooktop into Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) receptacles. The cooktop
spark ignition module can cause a GFCI to trip.
STEP 4
Installing the Cooktop
Place and center the cooktop within the cutout. Secure the cooktop to the countertop utilizing the two (2) hold-down brackets provided. Do
not over-tighten the screws.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use a hardening compound or caulking to permanently seal the cooktop into place, as the
unit must be readily removable for service. If such a hardening compound is used, removal of the
unit will be at the customerʼs expense.
STEP 5
Connecting the Gas
WARNINGS:
1. The maximum gas supply pressure to the regulator must not exceed 1/2 pound per square inch.
2. Verify that the proper gas supply has been provided according to Step 3.
3. Do not apply excessive pressure when tightening connections and fittings.
4. Do not use plumber's putty or Teflon tape on gas compression connections. It can defeat the
proper sealing of these fittings. Use plumber's putty or Teflon tape only on pipe thread fittings.
5. Turn all cooktop control valves to the "OFF" position, then turn on the gas supply. Check all
supply lines and connections for leaks using a soap and water solution. Do not use a flame
to check for leaks. After verifying that there are no gas leaks, turn off the gas supply to the
cooktop by turning the gas shut-off valve to the off position. Leak testing of the appliance shall
be conducted according to the manufacturerʼs instructions.
6. For LP gas installations, the LP gas tank must have its own high-pressure regulator. This is in
addition to the pressure regulator supplied with the cooktop.
