Page 5STEP 3Gas and Electrical Supply RequirementsThe correct voltage, frequency and amperage must be supplied to the appliance from an isolated, grounded circuit which is protected by aproperly sized circuit breaker or time-delay fuse.The cooktop must be connected to the power supply with copper wire only. The use of aluminum wire may result in unsatisfactory connections.Flexible armored or non-metallic, sheathed copper cable (with a grounding wire) should be used to supply electrical power to the junctionbox or receptacle.For the SGM304, SGM364, SGM365, SGM466 and SGM464GG the factory-equipped, three-prong grounding plug must be inserted into amating grounding-type receptacle in accordance with National Electric Code and applicable state, municipal and local codes.Be certain to locate the junction box or electrical outlet so the electrical supply may be easily disconnected in the event that service becomesnecessary. Also, provide extra slack in the cable to allow the cooktop to be removed for servicing.IMPORTANT:1. If the electrical supply circuit does not have a grounding-type receptacle, it is the responsibilityof the customer to have the existing receptacle changed by an electrician to a properly groundedreceptacle.2. The power supply must be properly polarized. Reverse polarity will result in continuous sparkingof the electrodes, even after flame ignition. If the power supply is not properly polarized, it is theresponsibility of the customer to have the polarity corrected.3. If there is any doubt as to whether the wall receptacle is properly grounded or polarized, have itchecked by a qualified electrician prior to installing the cooktop.4. Do not plug the cooktop into Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) receptacles. The cooktopspark ignition module can cause a GFCI to trip.STEP 4Installing the CooktopPlace and center the cooktop within the cutout. Secure the cooktop to the countertop utilizing the two (2) hold-down brackets provided. Donot over-tighten the screws.IMPORTANT:Do not use a hardening compound or caulking to permanently seal the cooktop into place, as theunit must be readily removable for service. If such a hardening compound is used, removal of theunit will be at the customerʼs expense.STEP 5Connecting the GasWARNINGS:1. The maximum gas supply pressure to the regulator must not exceed 1/2 pound per square inch.2. Verify that the proper gas supply has been provided according to Step 3.3. Do not apply excessive pressure when tightening connections and fittings.4. Do not use plumber's putty or Teflon tape on gas compression connections. It can defeat theproper sealing of these fittings. Use plumber's putty or Teflon tape only on pipe thread fittings.5. Turn all cooktop control valves to the “OFF” position, then turn on the gas supply. Check allsupply lines and connections for leaks using a soap and water solution. Do not use a flameto check for leaks. After verifying that there are no gas leaks, turn off the gas supply to thecooktop by turning the gas shut-off valve to the off position. Leak testing of the appliance shallbe conducted according to the manufacturerʼs instructions.6. For LP gas installations, the LP gas tank must have its own high-pressure regulator. This is inaddition to the pressure regulator supplied with the cooktop.
