Installation Instructions
POWER SUPPLY LOCATIONS
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY:
The built-in gas downdraft cooktop features
pilotless electric ignition for energy savings and
reliability. It operates on a 120-volt, 60-Hz power
supply. A separate circuit, protected by a 15-amp
time-delay fuse or circuit breaker, is required.
• A properly grounded 3-prong receptacle should
be located within reach of cooktop’s four foot
power cord.
IMPORTANT: (Please read carefully.) FOR
PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
PROPERLY GROUNDED.
The power cord of this appliance is
equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug
which mates with a standard three-prong
grounding wall receptacle to minimize the
possibility of electric shock hazard from this
appliance. The customer should have the wall
receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly
grounded and has correct polarity.
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it is the personal responsibility and
obligation of the customer to have it replaced with
a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.
Do Not, Under Any Circumstances, Cut Or
Remove The Third (ground) Prong From The
Power Cord.
Do not use an extension cord.
CL
GAS SUPPLY:
These cooktops are designed to operate on
natural gas at 4" of water column pressure or
on LP gas at 10" of water column pressure.
• These cooktops are shipped from the factory
set for natural gas. If you decide to use this
cooktop with LP gas, conversion adjustments
must be made by a service technician or
other qualified person.
• The pressure regulator must be connected in
series with the manifold of the cooktop and must
remain in series with the supply line regardless
of type of gas being used.
For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure
to the regulator must be no more than 10" water
column pressure for natural gas and 14" water
column pressure for LP gas.
• When checking the regulator, the inlet pressure
must be at least 1" greater than the regulator
output setting. If the regulator is set for 4" of
water column pressure, the inlet pressure must
be at least 5". If the regulator is set for 10" of
water column pressure, the inlet pressure must
be at least 11". For ease of installation, and if local
codes permit, the gas supply line into the cooktop
should be 1/2" or 3/4" ID flexible metal appliance
connector, three to five feet long.
NOTE: Purchase a new flexible line. DO NOT USE
AN OLD PREVIOUSLY USED LINE.
• Make gas connection through rear wall, or on
cabinet floor at rear, as illustrated.
