The location selected for the rangetop must meet the following
criteria. If any of these criteria are not met, select another location.
CABINET PREPARATION
»This rangetop is a free standing unit.
»The rangetop can be placed in various positions with respect
to the cabinet front, with the front either ush or projecting,
depending on the countertop width.
»The rangetop is zero-clearance safe against non-combustible
surfaces.
»The maximum depth of overhead cabinets installed on either
side of the hood is 13".
»Any openings in the wall behind the rangetop and in the oor
under the rangetop must be sealed.
»When there is less than 12" clearance between combustible
material and the back edge of the rangetop above the cooking
surface, a backguard must be installed.
»When clearance to combustible material is over 12" no
backguard is necessary.
»Back guards must be ordered separately. To order, measure the
space that the back guard must have and order accordingly.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
»The rangetop must be electrically grounded in compliance with
local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA70.
»This rangetop requires a 120 volt supply to operate the ignition
system. The supply cord provided on the rangetop is
equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for protection
against electrical shock.
»The electrical service in the building must be equipped with a
properly grounded three-prong receptacle.
»Do not cut or remove grounding prong from this plug.
POWER REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS RANGETOP
»120 VAC, 60 Hz, single phase, 15 AMP Max
GAS CONNECTION
»Be certain the appliance being installed is correct for the gas
service being provided. Refer to the appliance data plate for the
gas supply requirements.
»A manual gas shut-o valve must be remotely installed and easily
accessible in the adjacent cabinet. The regulator inlet is for a
3/4 inch gas line. The appliance ships with a 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch
adapter connected to the regulator.
»Use at least a 1/2" commercial ex hose to connect rangetop to
the gas supply (service line).
»A manual gas shut-o valve must be installed, in easy access in
front of the gas supply (service line) and ahead of the rangetop
for safety and ease of maintenance.
»All valves must be in the OFF position before connecting to the
gas supply line.
PRESSURE REGULATOR
»The regulator installed in the rangetop is adjusted at the factory
for 5" WC (natural gas) or 10" WC (L.P.) depending on the
customer’s request. Regulators must not be removed.
»The regulator can withstand a maximum pressure of 1/2 PSIG
(14" WC). If the line pressure is beyond this limit, a step-down
regulator will be required.
»Any adjustment to regulators must be made ONLY BY
QUALIFIED service personnel with proper test equipment.
GAS REQUIREMENTS
»Ensure supplied gas matches the rangetop’s gas type.
»Natural gas connection is 1/2" N.P.T. minimum 1/2" diameter
ex line.
»Natural gas inlet pressure to measure 7" to 10" W.C.
»Propane gas connection is 1/2" N.P.T. minimum 1/2" diameter
ex line.
»LP gas inlet pressure to measure 11" to 14" W.C.
»A step-down regulator in additon to the regulator provided
with the LP rangetop is required at the LP (Propane) source to
limit pressure to a maximum of 14" W.C.
»Check that all gas connections are properly sealed with a
suitable gas joint compound.
TEST ALL JOINTS WITH A SOAPY WATER SOLUTION
BEFORE LIGHTING THE BURNERS
»Turn ON the manual gas valve at the inlet side of the gas supply
line.
»Check for gas leaks at the exible coupling or gas connector
tting using a solution of one part soap and three parts water.
»Sparingly spray or brush the soapy solution at the gas ttings;
active bubbling indicates location of gas leak.
»If a gas leak is detected turn o the manual gas valve at the inlet
side of the gas line. Call your certied service technician.
FLEXIBLE COUPLINGS, CONNECTORS AND CASTERS
»Flexible couplings and/or quick-disconnect ttings must be heavy
duty, CSA/UL design certied of at least 1/2" NPT with suitable
strain reliefs.
»The exible connector must comply with the standard for
Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69-CSA
6.16 and any Quick-Disconnect Devices For Use With Gas Fuel
Appliances should comply with ANSI Z21.41CSA 6.9.
»All connections must be sealed with joint compound specied
for LP or Natural gas; and all connections must be tested with a
soapy water solution before using.
»When disconnection of the restraint is necessary, make sure to
reconnect the restraint after the rangetop has been returned to
its original position.
