INSTALLATION GUIDE AND USER MANUAL
Installation Instructions
Be sure the range top is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. It is the responsibility of the technician to make
certain that your range top is properly installed. Situations cause by improper installation are not covered under the warranty. Any
expenses incurred due to such situations will not be paid by the manufacturer of the range top.
Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted according to the manufacturer's instructions, or according to local building codes
and gas regulations in your area.
GAS CONNECTIONS (All Units)
NOTICE TO MASSACHUSETTS APPLIANCE DEALERS:
Be sure this document is included in all gas range top appliances sold to consumers in the State of Massachusetts.
NOTICE:
Massachusetts law requires the following:
• Appliances must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter.
• Appliances must be connected with a three (3) foot (36" maximum length) flexible gas connector and
• A "T" handle type manual gas valve in the gas supply line to the appliance.
Have the dealer where you purchase your new range top install it or have them recommend a qualified installer. Installation must
conform with local codes. In the absence of local codes, the installation must conform with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1-Latest Edition in the U.S.A. or the CAN/CGA B149.1 or .2
Installation Codes in Canada.
The range top should be connected to the supply line with 1/2-inch black iron pipe or a certified flexible type stove connector. To
prevent gas leaks, put an approved sealing compound which is resistant to liquefied petroleum gases on all threaded connec-
tions.
Important:
Do not apply pressure directly to the range top manifold pipe when tightening supply connections. The manifold pipe
should be held securely at the pressure regulator to prevent twisting. Hold the pressure regulator with a wrench during the
tightening of the connection, or the manifold pipe may be twisted and split and cause a dangerous leak.
The installation of range tops designed for manufactured (mobile) home installation must conform with the Manufactured Cons-
truction and Safety, Title 24 CFR, Part
3280, [formerly the Federal standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD (Part 280)] in the U.S.A. or C.S.A.
Standard CAN/CGA Z240.4.2 in
Canada or, when such standards are not applicable, with local codes.
The installation of range tops designed for recreational vehicle installation must conform with state or other codes or, in the
absence of such codes, with the standard for recreational vehicles. ANSI A119.2.2–1982 in the U.S.A. or CAN/CGA
Z240.4.2 in Canada.
The installation of appliances designed for recreational park trailers must conform with state or other codes or, in the absence of
such codes, with the standard for recreational park trailers, ANSI A119.5.
Note:
Check all piping connections in the unit for leaks. Never use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Use a soap solution,
75% water, 25% dish washing soap. It is possible for connections made at the factory to leak, due to vibration encountered in
transportation. Make certain you have checked them all, and repair any connections that leak.
The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure
testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig.
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig.
