Disconnect
this cooktop
and its individual
manual
shutoff
valve from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures
greater than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa or 14"water
column).
Isolate the cooktop
from the gas supply
piping
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig
(3.5 kPa or 14" water column).
Electrical
Requirements
120 volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded branch circuit
protected by a 15 amp circuit breaker or time delay
fuse. Do not use an extension
cord with this
cooktop.
Grounding
Instructions
IMPORTANT Please read carefully.
For personal
safety,
this appliance
must be
properly
grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-
prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-
prong grounding wall receptacle (see Figure 7) to
minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from
the appliance.
Preferred
Method
Grounding type
wall receptacle
not, under an,
circumstances,
cut,
remove, or bypass
the grounding
prong.
Once regulator is in place, open the shutoff valve in the
gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gas to move
through the gas line.
Check for leaks. After connecting the cooktop to the
gas supply, check the system for leaks with a
manometer. If a manometer is not available, turn on the
gas supply and use a liquid leak detector (or soap and
water) at all joints and connections to check for leaks.
Do not use a flame to check for leaks
from gas connections. Checking for leaks with a flame
may result in a fire or explosion.
Tighten
all connections
if necessary to prevent gas
leakage in the cooktop or supply line.
Check alignment
of control
knob valves after
connecting the cooktop to the gas supply to be sure the
cooktop manifold pipe has not moved. A misalignment
could cause the valve stems to rub on the control panel,
resulting in a gas leak at the valve.
Power supply cord with
3-prong grounding plug.
Figure 7
The wall receptacle and circuit should be checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is
properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall receptacle is installed, it
is the personal responsibility and obligation
of the
consumer to have it replaced by a properly grounded 3-
prong wall receptacle.
Do not, under any circumstances,
cut or remove the
third
(ground)
prong from the power
cord.
Disconnect electrical supply cord from
wall receptacle before servicing cooktop.
