A 120-Volt, 60-Hz, AC, approved electrical service with a 20-amp circuit breaker or time-delay fuse is required for all U.S. and Canadian models. The plug must be firmly plugged into a three-prong outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70 or the Canadian Electric Code, CSA C22.1-02. The electrical outlet should be 12” (30.5 cm) minimum below the countertop.

---

What are the gas supply requirements?

Use a new CSA/ETL International-approved gas supply line. Install a shut-off valve and securely tighten all gas connections. If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure gas pressure does not exceed 14’’ (36cm) water column. The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the cooktop manifold must remain in the supply line regardless of whether natural or LP gas is being used. The cooktop is designed to operate at a pressure of 4in (10cm) of water column on natural gas or 10in (25cm) of water column on LP gas. For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied to the regulator must be between 4in and 10in (10cm and 25cm) of water column. For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between 10in and 13in (25cm and 33cm) of water column.

---

What should I do to prevent gas leaks?

To prevent gas leaks, use professional gas pipe sealing materials on all male (external) pipe threads.

---

How do I attach the gas pressure regulator?

Attach the gas pressure regulator (included with the cooktop) to the cooktop pipe nipple inlet. For tight installations, the regulator may be installed upstream from the pipe nipple, anywhere between the shut-off valve and the cooktop. For best performance, minimize gas pressure loss by attaching the regulator as close as possible to the cooktop gas inlet.

---

How do I check for leaks after making all connections?

When all connections have been made, make sure all cooktop controls are in the off position and turn on the main gas supply valve. Use soap-suds at all joints and connections to check for leaks in the system. Tighten all connections if necessary to prevent gas leakage in the cooktop or supply line.

How do I install burner components?

For the Tri-Ring burner assembly, hold the burner head so the shiny silver side is facing down and find the small hole in the burner head. Place the burner head onto the cooktop surface so that “hole A” gets inserted into “pin B” on the cooktop. Make sure “Pin B” is firmly seated into “hole A” on the Burner Head; if not, remove the burner head and try again. Place the lined part of the outer burner cap to fit in the lined part of the burner head and shake the outer burner cap gently to check if it is firmly seated. Next, place the inner burner cap on the burner head and make sure it is firmly set by gently sliding it from side to side. Check if the burner head/burner cap is firmly seated; if not level or unstable, remove and reinsert it again.

For other burner assemblies, hold the burner head and find the gap “C” and ignition needle “D”, making sure they are on the same side. Place the burner head with the gap “C” next to the ignition needle “D” and ensure the burner head is firmly seated. Place the lined part of the burner cap to fit in the lined part of the burner head and shake the burner cap gently to check if it is firmly seated. Check if the burner head/burner cap is firmly seated; if not level or unstable, remove and reinsert it again.
