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.

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.
