Dacor DCT305SLPH Installation Instruction

Electrical Requirements

To prevent an electric shock hazard, the power supply 

must meet the specifications stated below. It is the own-

er’s responsibility to make sure that the electrical service 

meets electrical requirements and that the electrical outlet 

has been properly installed by a licensed electrician.

•  The cooktop is supplied with a factory installed, 42 

inch long, power cord with a three-prong, grounding 

electrical plug. It is connected to the chassis at the bot-

tom right rear corner (see Chassis Bottom Diagram 

below). It must be connected to a dedicated, grounded 

three-prong electrical outlet installed by a licensed elec-

trician. 

•  The electrical installation, including minimum supply 

wire size and grounding, must be done in accordance 

with National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70 and local 

codes and ordinances. A copy of this standard may be 

obtained from:

 

National Fire Protection Association 

 

1 Batterymarch Park  

 

Quincy, MA 02269-9101

•  The correct voltage, frequency and amperage must be 

supplied to the electrical outlet according to the product 

data label located on the bottom of the chassis. See 

the Gas and Electrical Requirements table on this 

page for reference.

•  Be certain to locate the electrical outlet so that the 

power cord may be easily disconnected if the unit 

requires service.

Gas Supply Requirements

•  Be certain that the cooktop being installed is correct for 

the gas service being provided (natural gas or LP gas). 

Also, if operating the cooktop at an altitude above 4000 

ft. (1219 m) make sure it is equipped for high altitude 

operation.

•  Units equipped for LP operation have “LP” in the 

model number listed on the product data label. See the 

Chassis Bottom Diagram for label location.

•  Units equipped for high altitude operation have an “H” 

at the end of the model number listed on the product 

data label.

•  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.

•  An external manual shut-off valve must be installed 

between the gas inlet and the cooktop for the purpose 

of turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance.

•  The cooktop comes from the factory with a regulator in 

the shipping carton. Use only the regulator provided. 

The regulator must be installed in the gas line that runs 

from the cooktop gas inlet to the gas shut off valve.

•  The regulator inlet (female) accommodates a 3/4” gas 

line. It can also accommodate a 1/2” gas line using 

the included reducer. The inlet to the cooktop itself is 

equipped with a 1/2” male NPT fitting.

The cooktop gas connection is located on the bottom of the 

cooktop in the back right corner as you face the front of the 

unit. See the Chassis Bottom Diagram on this page.
