of local codes, with the 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.

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 LP, 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.
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 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 design-certified by CSA International for use with
Natural gas or, after proper conversion, for use with LP gas.
This cooktop is factory set for use with Natural gas. To
convert to LP gas, see the Gas Conversion instructions
provided in the package containing literature. The model/
serial rating plate located on the right/center 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.
LP Gas conversion:
Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician.
No attempt shall be made to convert the appliance 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.
Gas Supply Line
Provide a gas supply line of ³⁄₄" (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the
cooktop location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may
result in insufficient gas supply. Pipe-joint compounds that
resist the action of LP gas must be used. Do not use
TEFLON ®† tape. With LP gas, piping or tubing size can be
½" minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers determine the size
and materials used in the system.
