Electrical & Gas Requirements

Electrical Requirements There is no connection necessary beyond plugging the unit into a polarized, grounded, 120 volt, 60 Hz, 15 amp circuit. A minimum of 120 VAC is required for proper operation of gas ignition systems. DO NOT use a GFI circuit. This circuit, however, MUST be grounded and properly polarized. The unit is equipped with 16-3 SPT2 power cord.

Note: If electrical power is not supplied or is interrupted, the open top burners will have to be lit manually with a match.

Gas Connection Thread the appliances pressure regulator with 1/2 male end connection both supplied with this appliance.

Make the gas connection to the inlet of the pressure regulator with 1/2 male pipe threads.

Join the pressure regulator to the entrance threads of the Gas Manifold with gasket supplied with this appliance. The regulator is marked with a directional arrow indicating correct direction of gas flow. Ensure the appliance regulator is installed with the arrow pointing toward the gas manifold entrance and make sure the top of the regulator is facing towards the cabinet front, easily accessible through the cabinet doors.

Install a coupling between the regulator and the shutoff valve to complete the connection.

Assure all pipe joint connections are gas tight. Check alignment of valves after connecting the cooktop to the gas supply to be sure the manifold pipe has not been moved. A misalignment could cause the valve knob stem to rub on the control panel, resulting in a gas leak at the valve.

If an oven is to be installed below this appliance, connect gas supply line as shown in Figure 1. Consider the below cabinet clearance.

Manual shut-off valve: The supplied valve must be installed in the gas service line ahead of the appliance and regulator in the gas stream. It should be positioned where it can be reached quickly in the event of an emergency.

In Massachusetts: A T handle type manual gas valve must be installed in gas supply line to the appliance.

Pressure regulator: The regulator supplied with the DGVU cooktops must be installed before any gas connections are made. It is pre-set for use with natural gas. This must be converted to use with LP/Propane gas.

Manifold pressure should be checked with a manometer. Natural gas requires 5.0 WCP and LP/Propane requires 10.0 WCP. Incoming line pressure upstream for the regulator must be 1 WCP higher than the manifold pressure in order to check the regulator.

The regulator used on this cooktop can withstand a maximum input pressure of 1/2 PSI (14.0 WCP). If the line pressure is in excess of that amount, a step down regulator will be required.

The manual shut off valve and pressure regulator on these cooktops must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at pressures in excess of 1/2 PSI (3.45kPa.)

The cooktop must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSI (3.45kPa).

IMPORTANT: NEVER reuse old connectors when installing this cooktop.

1312

Rigid Connections: Incoming gas is brought from an intake pipe at the rear of the unit to the pressure regulator; then to the manifold pipe for distribution. The intake pipe and shut-off valve are not supplied. The intake pipe and the shut-off valve should be connected to the regulator to complete the connection.

In Massachusetts: This appliance must be installed with a 36 (3-foot) long flexible gas connector.

Installer-supplied intake pipes should be checked visually for any foreign matter before installing in a service line.

Before placing the cooktop into operation, always check for gas leaks with a soapy water solution or other acceptable method. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS.

Electrical & Gas Requirements Electrical & Gas Requirements

LP/Propane Conversion

The DGVU cooktops are shipped natural gas, and manufactured for use with natural gas or LP/Propane gas. Check the rating plate located on the bottom of the burner box for type of gas needed. To convert to natural gas or LP/Propane gas, the orifice spuds must be physically changed and the regulator must be reset. Gas conversions must be completed by a qualified service technician.

The installer must use a flexible connector of at least I.D. (1.3 cm) NPT and comply with ANSI Z21.41 and Z21.69 standards.

To convert from both natural to LP/Propane and LP/Propane to natural a conversion kit is supplied.

Initial Ignition of Burners All cooktops are tested before leaving the factory. Field adjustments may be necessary for proper mixture of gas and air for proper operation. Contact a qualified technician to make any necessary adjustments.

The surface burners use electric igniters in place of standing pilots.

Conversion must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. Failure to follow instructions could result in serious injury or property damage.

WARNING

Electrical power and gas must be turned off prior to conversion.

WARNING

Proper Lighting and Shutdown Instructions To ignite electric igniters on the surface burners:

1. Turn the knob counterclockwise to any position.

2. Upon ignition of the surface burner, turn the knob to the desired position (HI, Med or Low).

3. To shutdown the burner, turn knob clockwise to the OFF position.

In case of failure, shut the gas OFF using the installer supplied manual shut-off valve.

Low Flame Adjustment

Note: If the burner does not light within five seconds, turn the knob off and wait one minute before trying again.

This appliance is shipped from the factory with low and medium flame settings adjusted.

Low Flame Adjustment (cont.) If further adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows:

Adjustment for Burners 1. Light burner and set control knob for low flame.

2. Remove control knob from valve stem. 3. Using a flathead screwdriver, adjust the screw to set flame size: clockwise to reduce counterclockwise to increase

4. Replace control knob when adjustment is completed.

Proper adjustment will produce a stable, steady blue flame of minimum size. The final adjustment should be checked by turning knob from high to low several times without extinguishing the flame.

A Low flame adjustment

This adjustment, at low setting, will automatically provide the proper flame size at medium setting. After conversion steps have been completed, check the appearance of each burner's flame at the HI and LO settings. If the flames appear too large or too small, review each step to make sure it was completed correctly.

Burner Flames Turn each burner on. Flames should be blue in color with no trace of yellow. The burner flames should not flutter or blow away from the burner. The inner cone of the flame should be between 1/2" and 3/4" long.
