Electrical Requirements 120-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded circuit protected by a 15-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this cooktop be provided. NOTE: Use of automatic, wireless, or wired external switches that shut off power to the appliance are not recommended for this product. Grounding The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug which plugs into 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. 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 CÖRD. DOo NOT USE AN ADAPTER. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI’s) are not required or recommended for gas cooktop receptacles. Performance of the cooktop will not be affected if operated on a GFC-protected circuit but occasional nuisance tripping of the GFCI breaker is possible.
SURFACE BURNERS
- Fire or Explosion Hazard:
- Do not operate the burner without all burner parts in place.
- A. Burners Place surface burners into corresponding positions on cooktop.
- B. Caps Place caps on proper size burner.
- C. Grates Place the grates on the cooktop.
CHECK SURFACE BURNERS Push and tum a knob to the LITE position. A clicking sound indicates proper operation of the ignition system. When lighting any burner, sparks will appear at all burners but gas flows from only the one selected. Once air is purged from the supply line, burner should light within 4 seconds. After burner lights, rotate the knob out of the LITE position. Try each burner in succession until all burners have been checked.
WHEN ALL HOOKUPS ARE COMPLETED Make sure all controls are left in the off position. Make sure the flow of combustion and ventilation air to the cooktop is unobstructed. Check that all packing materials and tape have been removed. This will include adhesive tape, wire ties, cardboard and protective plastic. Failure to remove these materials could result in damage to the appliance once the appliance has been turned on and surfaces have heated.
