ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Disconnect power before installing or servicing appliance. Before turning power
ON, be sure all controls are in the OFF position. Failure to do so can result in
electrical shock or death.
ELECTRICAL GROUNDING ELECTRICAL GROUNDING
This appliance must be grounded. Grounding reduces the risk of electric shock in
the event of a short circuit. Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for new branch
circuit installations (1996 NEC), mobile homes, and recreational vehicles, or in an area where local
codes prohibit it. Your Hestan rangetop is equipped with a 3-prong, grounding type plug which must
be plugged into a grounded, 3-prong 120V receptacle.
CAUTION
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The receptacle must be on its own dedicated circuit - 120 VAC, Single Phase, 60 Hz, with a current
rating of 15 Amps. If this is not available, a licensed electrician must install the appropriately
dedicated and grounded receptacle. The installation must be done in accordance with local codes,
or in the absence of local codes, it must be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70.
1. Make sure power is off at the supply panel / breaker.
2. Plug the appliance into the wall receptacle. Secure extra appliance cord out of the way so it
cannot be snagged on items under your rangetop.
3. Before restoring power at the supply panel / breaker, be sure all controls are in the OFF position.
GAS CONNECTION
GAS SUPPLY GAS SUPPLY
The local gas authority or supplier should be consulted at the installation planning stage in order to
establish the availability of an adequate supply of gas (NG or LP). If it is a new installation, have the
gas authorities or supplier check the meter size and piping to assure that the unit is supplied with the
necessary amount of gas supply and pressure to operate the unit(s).
Gas connections should be made by a qualified plumber, or your professional appliance installer.
All appliances must be fitted with an accessible upstream gas shutoff valve as a means of isolating the
appliance for emergency shut off and for servicing.
Make certain new piping and connections have been made in a clean manner and have been purged
so that piping compound, chips, etc. will not clog regulators, valves, orifices, or burners. Use pipe
joint compound / thread sealant approved for natural and LP gases.
The appliance and its individual manual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi
[3.5 kPa].
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual
shutoff valve during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi
[3.5 kPa].
NEVER CONNECT THE APPLIANCE TO AN UNREGULATED GAS SUPPLY. Before proceeding,
ensure the appliance is fitted for Natural or Liquid Propane gas. Connecting to an improper gas type
will result in poor performance and increased risk of damage or injury. Gas type and gas consumption
(BTU per hour) for each burner type is shown on the rating label.

Improper grounding or reverse polarization will cause malfunctions in the
unit, such as continuous sparking of the igniters. This can damage the
appliance and create a shock hazard condition.
