Gas Supply Requirements
Check your local building codes for the proper
method of installation. In the absence of local
codes, this appliance should be installed in
accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54. Be certain that the
appliance being installed is correct for the gas
service being provided. Refer to the data plate
located on the rear of the cooktop chassis.
NOTES:
1. No adjustment of burner
settings is required. All valves
and air mixture shutters found
in this appliance have been
factory preset.
2. Liquid propane (LP) cooktops
should be special-ordered
from the factory. Liquid
propane units are identified
by the “LP” designation at the
end of the model number.
3. Under extenuating
circumstances, some
cooktops may be field
converted to operate on LP
gas or at elevations in excess
of 5,000 feet above sea level.
However, field conversion
must be completed by a
qualified service agency and
authorization must be granted
by the factory prior to any field
conversion.
Electrical Requirements
The SGM cooktops are supplied with a factory
installed three-prong, grounding plug.
It is the owner's responsibility to ensure that
the electrical connection of this appliance
is performed by a qualified electrician. The
electrical installation, including minimum supply
wire size and grounding, must be done in
accordance with National Electric Code ANSI/
NFPA 70-1993*, (or the latest revision) and local
codes and ordinances.

Gas and Electrical Supply
Requirements
The correct voltage, frequency and amperage
must be supplied to the appliance from an
isolated, grounded circuit which is protected by
a properly 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
junction box or receptacle.
The cooktop’s factory-equipped, three-prong
grounding plug must be inserted into a mating
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 becomes
necessary. 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
responsibility of the customer
to have the existing receptacle
changed by an electrician to a
properly grounded receptacle.
2. The power supply must
be properly polarized.
Reverse polarity will result in
continuous sparking of the
electrodes, even after flame
ignition. If the power supply is
not properly polarized, it is the
responsibility 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 it checked by
a qualified electrician prior to
installing the cooktop.
4. Do not plug the cooktop
into Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) receptacles.
The cooktop spark ignition
module can cause a GFCI to
trip.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use a hardening
compound or caulking to
permanently seal the cooktop into
place, as the unit must be readily
removable for service. If such a
hardening compound is used,
removal of the unit will be at the
customer’s expense.

WARNINGS:
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 the proper
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 all supply lines and
connections for leaks using
