Checking for gas leaks
WARNING
To prevent an explosion/fire hazard possibly leading to personal injury or death, DO
NOT use a flame to check for gas leaks.
When using pressures above 1/2 psig to test the home gas-supply system, disconnect
the cooktop and individual shut-off valve from the gas-supply piping. When using
pressures of 1/2 psig or less to test the gas-supply system, isolate the cooktop from the
system by closing the individual shut-off valve.
1. When all connections are made, ensure all cooktop controls are off, and turn on the
main gas-supply valve.
2. Use a liquid leak detector at all joints and connections to check for gas leaks.
3. Tighten connections as needed to stop gas leakage in the cooktop or supply line.
Making the electrical connections
WARNING
• Disconnect electrical power at the main circuit breaker or fuse box before making any
electrical connections.
• BEFORE operating/testing, follow the grounding requirements on pg. 25. Improper
connection of the grounding plug is an electric-shock risk.
• All gas cooktops come with a power cord connected to the bottom of the cooktop
chassis. (For details, see “Electrical requirements,” page 24.)
• The electrical system, including the power cord, is factory-installed/-wired. Altering
any part of this system may cause a short or overload.
1. Plug in the power cord. (Ensure the outlet meets all applicable electrical codes (see
pg. 24).
2. After installing the cooktop, check the gas-supply line to verify it is connected and
undamaged.
