GAS COOKTOP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 7. Connect Electricity to Gas Cooktop 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 these cooktops. IMPORTANT Please read carefully. For personal safety, these appliances must be properly grounded. The power cord of these appliances is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong grounding wall receptacle (see Figure 19) to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance. The wall receptacle and circuit should be checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded. Preferred Method Grounding type wall receptacle Do not, under any circumstances, cut, remove, or bypass the grounding prong. Power supply cord with 3-prong grounding plug Figure 19 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. If an external electrical source is used, the appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or in their absence of local codes with the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 701987 or latest edition. Check all code rules and regulations for connecting the cooktop to be certain the installation conforms with all local, municipal and state codes as well as local utility regulations. Note: All hookups and adjustment shall be performed by qualified technicians. Situations where appliance power cord will be disconnected frequently. Do not use an adaptor plug in these situations because disconnecting of the power cord places undue strain on the adaptor and leads to eventual failure of the adaptor terminal. The customer should have 2-prong wall receptacle replaced by a 3-prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician before using the appliance. Disconnect electrical supply cord from wall receptacle before servicing cooktop. 8. Check Operation Refer to the Use and Care Guide packaged with the cooktop for operating instructions and for care and cleaning of your cooktop. Do not touch the burners. They may be hot enough to cause burns. 1. Check the Igniters (some models) Operation of electric igniters should be checked after cooktop and supply line connectors have been carefully checked for leaks and the cooktop has been connected to electric power. To check for proper lighting, push in and turn a burner valve to the LITE position. The burner valve should light when gas is available to burner. Once the burner lights, it should be turned out of the LITE position. Try each valve separately until all burners have been checked out. The burners can be lit manually during an electrical power outage. To light a burner, hold a lit match to the burner head, then slowly turn the Surface Control knob to LITE. Use caution when lighting burners manually. Surface burner in use when an electrical power failure occurs will continue to operate normally. The surface burners on models equipped with pilots can operate during an electrical power outage. Failure to comply with the above could result in a serious shock hazard. 9
